REGISTRATION INFORMATION

All players must register for the tournament at the cage near the Poker Room. Players must present a valid form of ID (expired ID will not be accepted). Additional gaming forms will need to be filled out - when registering for the North American Poker Championship ($10,300 CAD), please allow yourself extra time for this step. After buying in, players will be given a transferable voucher that should be brought to the Tournament Registration booth, located either at the tournament area in the Grand Hall convention area, or near the Poker Room. Do not lose your voucher! Because the vouchers are transferable there is no way to track ownership of them if they are lost or misplaced before you go to the Tournament Registration booth.

At the Tournament Registration booth, players will be asked to show their ID again as well as present their buy-in voucher. Players will then be issued a table and seat assignment and can proceed to the tournament area down in the Grand Hall convention area. Both tournaments start at 12:00pm EST each day.
