Interesting Rules

This tournament has some interesting rules to it that allow for play to be a little faster and more aggressive. First, there is no limping allowed pre-draw. If you're going to enter the pot, you must raise. This seems most interesting in blind-versus-blind situations. If action folds to you in the small blind, you cannot complete. You can only raise or fold.

Second, post-draw bets have to be at least double the amount of the current big blind. For example, if the blinds are 50-100 and you want to bet post draw, you have to bet at least 200.

Both of these rules should help to spice things up a bit.
