"Super" Satellite is a poker term used to describe a tournament where the winner receives a free entry into a larger event. By contrast, a regular Satellite is a tournament where players pay a reduced entry fee for a chance to win a seat at a larger event.

Club Members who win any IPC Super Satellite tournament will receive, in addition to league points, a seat at the $3,000 Monthly Points Championship.

There are no buy-in fees associated with any of our tournaments. In accordance with local, state, and federal laws, all Interstate Poker Club tournaments are 100% free to all who wish to enter.

Each player begins with an initial stack of 1,200 play-money chips with which to wager, however, additional chips may be provided to players who purchase menu items from the host establishment, wear Official Club Apparel, or help with tournament setup and dealing.

Additionally, members of the Interstate Poker Club who show their plastic ID Card will receive an additional 100 in starting chips, and V.I.P. Members who show their plastic V.I.P. Card will receive an additional 1,000 chips.

Alternates are permitted entry into the tournament up until the beginning of the 100/200 level and will start with 1,200 in chips.

Please note that our Tournament Staff reserves the right to modify the blind schedule at any time to venue time constraints.

There is no set limit on the number of entrants. If we have already reached maximum seating capacity, you may still sign-up as an Alternate and join the game as players are eliminated and seats become available.

Alternate seats are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and will only be admitted up to the start of the 100/200 level.

Game time will vary based on the the number of players involved in the tournament. Most tournaments last about 3 hours from the first flop to the declaration of a winner.

Two breaks will be provided for players that wish to stretch their legs or use the restroom.

No. All Interstate Poker Club tournaments are free to play and "Freeze-Out" format, which means players are not allowed to rebuy after elimination.

We recommend that all players leave the table immediately upon elimination. This allows our Tournament Directors to quickly ascertain the number of active players at each table without having to visit each table individually.

No. Smoking is not permitted at any poker table at any time, whether the venue permits smoking or not.

We highly encourage our players to support the hosting establishment by purchasing food or drink items, however, at no time are players permitted to place food or beverages onto the table surface. Cupholders are provided around the perimeter of each table and should be used for beverages only.

First and foremost, Do NOT confront the player! If possible, wait for the next break and speak with the Tournament Director or Assistant Director.

If you cannot wait for the break, politely excuse yourself from the table and speak with the TD or AD who will investigate the matter and compensate you for any missed blinds.

We are always happy to receive feedback from our players! In fact, some of the more popular aspects of our games are the direct result of responding to player suggestions.

Please submit all comments or suggestions via email to the League Administrator and, if a reply is deemed necessary, we will get back to you as quickly as poossible.
