We all know it’s important to be on time when an online poker tournament starts. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always allow us to make it to our favorite tournaments on time. This is why Carbon Poker has become one of the latest sites to roll out the Late Registration feature.
By using the Late Registration option, you can enter a multi-table tournament after it has started and still get a full chip stack. To take advantage of late registration, you just need to look in the lobby for the tournament you’re interested in, and see if registration is still open. Assuming it is open, you can join the tournament by choosing the “register” button, then selecting the buy-in option.
If you’re wondering how the late registration process works, tournaments that offer this feature leave one or two seats open on each table; open seats are then filled by the late registrants. There are a few other factors that you need to keep in mind with late registration and here’s a look at them:
- There is a time limit for late registration. Once this time limit expires, so does registration.
- Guaranteed MTT’s offer 60-minute late registration.
- All other MTT’s feature 20-minute late registration.
- There is also a blind level for late registrants. If a certain blind level is reached, the registration is closed.
- Some tournaments have additional information that you may need to know for the late registration. To find this out, you’ll need to click on the tournament and read its specific details.
Once again, the late registration lets players start with a full chip stack even after the first hand has been dealt. And while this may put you at a slight disadvantage since you don’t get to build your chip stack in the early going, at least you still get to play in the tournament after it starts. You can begin using late registration, and get a 150% up to $750 bonus at Carbon though this link.
