All players, who "bubble" a tournament will get their buy-in back if they register before the late reg. period.
GGNetwork adds yet another unique feature to its software in the form of the "Bubble Protection". If a player bubbles a tournament (meaning, busts one place away from the paid places) they will get their buy-in back - but only if, they registered to the tournament before it started.
“Bubble Protection is very popular in Live Poker tournaments and was tried online before but only as a third-party tool, never as an automatized, built-in feature,” said Jean-Christophe Antoine, Head of GGNetwork.
Back in 2011, a third-party solution, the "Beat The Bubble" service was launched, where players had to pay a certain amount of fee for the same buy-in return guarantee. This service is not available anymore. GGNetwork and doesn't charge a fee for this new feature.
While technically only one player can bubble a tournament, but GGNetwork extended the guarantee for more spots, in case of bigger fields.
In tournaments, under 100 entries, only one player will receive their buy-in back, while they'll return the buy-ins for two players in tournaments with entries between 100 and 500, and three in 500-1000-entry strong fields. The biggest tournaments with over 10,000 entries will get 10 extra bubble spots.
This feature creates a "new bubble", meaning that from now on, the real bubble will be the players, who bust before the Bubble Protection spots.
However, as this is a completely free extra, which means 1%-2% extra in the prize pools this feature offers great extra value for the MTT players.
