  • Tournament

    The 2024 Math for America Poker Night Tournament is a No Limit Hold 'Em tournament. Your initial $5,000 donation to Math for America in connection with the 2024 Math for America Poker Night entitles you to one distribution of chips at the tournament. Three re-buy periods will occur during the tournament. At each re-buy, players will have the opportunity to donate an additional $5,000 to receive another distribution of chips.

    Teams

    • The MƒA Poker Tournament will include teams and a team prize.

    • Your company or organization can field a team of 4-5 players.

    • Players on each team will be suitably identified and begin the evening at separate tables.

    • As players drop out during the evening, teams receive a score (determined by the number of tables remaining) and the team with the lowest average score wins the team prize.

Each 2024 Math for America Poker Night participant will be randomly assigned a seat prior to the start of the tournament. Play will begin promptly at 7:00PM. Participants who are not present at the start of the tournament will have their hands folded and blinds posted by the dealer until they arrive or they run out of chips. During the first three levels of blinds, players whose chips fall below the level of $3,000 will be allowed to re-buy distributions of $5,000 in chips for an additional donation — up to a maximum of three re-buys. At the end of the re-buy period there will be a short break during which those who have not utilized all of their re-buy opportunities may do so. As players are eliminated, tables will be periodically consolidated until a single final table remains where the finalists will compete for the coveted title of 2024 Math for America Poker Night Champion.
