If you have a question about the interpretation or application of a TDA Tournament Rule, or if you would like to suggest a new rule or amendment, please consider participating in the Poker TDA Discussion Forum.
TDA Recommended Procedures are included in all longform documents above and may also be found on the Poker TDA Forum. TDA Recommended Procedures are intended as policy suggestions and general guidelines that can reduce errors and enhance tournament management. They also may apply to situations that have too many variations to address with one universal rule. The fairest ruling in these cases may require use of multiple rules, evaluation of all circumstances, and reliance on Rule 1 as a primary guide.
