Though this rule may vary between each location.

The main difference is that instead of one player playing one stack of chips to the end of the competition, players can tag in and out of the hot seat to play a few betting rounds.Įach player can take as long as they want at the table - betting as many hands and rounds as they'd like - so long as every player from each team plays in the tournament at some point.

The tag team rules don't differ too much from the standard poker tournament. The 'tag team' format can be altered in a few different ways, but the formula is quite similar regardless of how you switch things up.
