Synchronized breaks

Most of our tournaments have synchronized breaks, so the break is triggered at a specific time (55 minutes after the hour), and occurs once the current hand at that time is over.

This is opposed to our other break scheme where breaks occur 60 minutes after the start of the event.

We have implemented synchronized breaks so that tournaments go on break at the same time, enabling players to take an actual break from the action and leave their computer for a few minutes.

As many of our tournaments have synchronized breaks, the break in a rebuy tournament may occur before the end of the rebuy period, while add-ons are not yet available. In rebuy tournaments, purchasing an add-on will often be possible only after the rebuy period finishes, not during the tournament break. This will be stated in the tournament lobby.
