Qualifying Rounds: 11am, 12pm, 1pm and 2pm
All first round sessions will consist of one craps table with up to sixteen players at the table. Each player will start with $500 in tournament chips and play craps for 25 rolls of the dice. Official roll count will be held by the Tournament Director, who will announce when the players are to start, will announce when there are 5 rolls left, and will announce when to stop play.
Player position at craps table will be drawn directly after registering. The player who will first shoot the dice will be determined by random drawing prior to beginning tournament. Each player will bet in sequential order starting with the player next to stick person on each side and moving in a counter-clockwise to the left of the stick person or clockwise direction to the right of the stick person. The base person will point to the player who must make all of his or her bets and then signal by waving their hand or other acceptable signal that they are finished. The base person will then point to the next player and so on until all of the player’s bets are set. After the next roll the betting process is repeated this time starting with the player next to the previous player, who will now bet first. Each player may elect to leave all of their bets set from the prior roll or move all of them with the exception of the Pass line bet. The pass line bets must remain until the point is made or a seven out occurs.
The betting minimums and limits will remain the same throughout the session. The minimum bet will be $5.00 and the maximum bet will be $500. One-dollar ($1) wagers are allowed to be bet on all prop bets. The Prop bet minimum and maximum will be $1 to $100. Players must have their tournament chips in the rail, separated by color so they are easily identified by other players. Players must leave their chips in open view of other players and the box-person at all time. All craps rules for this tournament will be the same as Diamond Jo Casino’s normal approved craps rules. All decisions of the Tournament Director are final.
At the end of the each first round session the top 2 players from each side with the highest total value in tournament chips will advance to the second round. The semi-final round will have 20 players consisting of 16 winners from the semi-final round plus 4 players drawn at random as wild cards See Wildcard Drawing rules below). All of the tournament chips are brought back into the box person and verified.

The final round will consist of one table with ten players. The ten will include the 8 players who advanced from the Semi -Final round plus 2 wildcard draws (See Wildcard Drawing rules below). Each player will receive $500 in tournament chips and play for 20 rolls.
