Rush Poker Tournaments: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/rush-tournaments

It's Rush Poker applied to tournaments! Mostly the same as Rush ring games, with a few concessions to tournament play. The main changes:
  • Instead of just tracking number of hands since paying the big blind, the small blind is also tracked.
  • The actual amount of time since you last posted a blind matters nearly as much as how many hands you've gone since posting. This is to discourage stalling (there is no hand-for-hand, so we've made stalling detrimental/harder in other ways), however it's not so bad that you're unduly punished just for being very active in hands.
  • When the tournament gets down to under 30 players, the tables start getting shorter (down to 4 handed tables when 10 players are left in a 9 handed tournament). This keeps the "rush" of Rush poker going.
  • The tournament reverts to a normal tournament for the final table. This is also the only time you can observe a Rush Tournament.
Steps Tournaments: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/steps-tournaments

Found under Sit & Go->Steps, start with $3.30 and work your way through 7 steps to get your wsop Main Event package. Eventually there will be other Step 7 tournament with different end prizes.

We've incorporated the old $26 and $75 token system into the new step system (as Steps 3 and 4), and all Step tickets from Step 3 on can be used in any tournament matching that buyin ($26, $75, $216, $640, and $2100), so there are lots of "exit points" to be had if the final Step doesn't interest you.

There are many different flavors of each Step (including regular, turbo, super turbo, 4-man HU, 6-max, 18-man, 36-man double shootouts, and a few daily MTTs) so everyone should be able to find a Step that suits them.

These changes rock!
I was worried it'd just be another 'change of font for your pop-up messages' update, or something equally as pointless, but this makes a real difference.
The steps look like a great system, as good as pokerstars - which is how it should always have been! Where is the step 7 though? My SnG's cut off at 6.
Also, what is the extra bit on the cashier page, where you can buy tourney tickets and see which ones you have etc. Is that just to tell you how many step tickets you possess?
All in all, great update and I cant wait to get stuck in!

I'm back Full Tilt, and all is forgiven!

Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

So if I don't want a Main Event package (I play legally in canada, would be illegal in states) and lets say I get to level 5-6, the only way I can redeem that is by playing in a corresponding tourney?

Very interesting...
I don't like playing mtt's cause of the time they consume but with these new rush tourneys they have come to interest me again.
Those step sng's are nice too.

Great, just as I thought I got away from rush poker, they introduce rush tourneys. Just when I think I'm out they pull me back in! :D Very interesting - I'm gonna try both of them as well

EDIT: For those wondering when the rush tourneys begin, the first one begins at 1:10 called the The First Rush Tournament for $1

Steps one being $3 seems high. No opportunity for micro players to get in on them. I would prefer it start at $1. I guess those are out for me.

Psyched to see when the first Rush Tourney will be and hopefully they will have those for 1 or 2 bucks.

There's a Step 0 for $1.10 - 99 person super turbo with top 30 getting Step 1 tickets. I watched some tables earlier and the standard seemed very low, but super turbo is still just bingo...:)

They had a $1 Rush earlier so hopefully they will have more!

Thanks for the info. Hopefully they will also add Multi table player SNGs too. Like the 360s but Rush style.
