- Applications - The 15-hand format is used for the Spokerama for each round contested.
- Structure - Tournaments are contested with the Omaha game rules and Spoker Rewind format. The Omaha game RULES can be found in the Cash Games and Showdown lobbies. The only difference is the pot represents points for tournament play while it represents cash (in dollars) in the other lobbies. For Spokerama, overall point scorers are ranked and top 3 finishers advance to the next round. All players who make it to the final table (for the 11th round) receive a payout.
- Hands Per Round - Each tournament round is 15 hands. It takes approximately 1 hour to complete a tournament round.
- Keyboard Hotkeys - Contestants can press "A" on their keyboard to play on and "F" to fold. When SELECTING athletes, contestants can press the number on the keyboard that corresponds to the number on the athlete card to select them.
- Advancing in Tournament Play - Each tournament round is contested in groups of 9 players per table. The top 3 players from a table advance to the next round (unless it is the final round).
