What's the diff between mini-tourn and tourn? is it just money or rules?

Minis are just one table, tournaments are multi table.

Rules are the same, money on minis are at set winnings, money on tournaments varies depending on buyin fee and how many people enter.

13th:3
12th:4
11th:5
10th:6
9th:7
8th:8
7th:9
6th:10
5th:11
4th:12
3rd:14+bronze medal
2nd:16+Silver medal
1st:20+Gold medal...
You can see the toplist's before you log on...
Also,right after you log on,at top of page there's a OP66 "lobby",click to enter,then click on tournaments,and you'll see all the tourns,how much to enter,and the amount won.There's a tourn every 5hrs,so if you can just "observe" one.Clicking on the tourn while in progess,then click "details",and you'l see an observe button.On the left,you'll see all the tables/windows you can enter and observe.
In the tourns,you stay 'till you win,or go bust.You can choose to "sit-out" some hands(there's an option,bottom left) but you can only do this 4 times max then you're thrown out.But you can fold as many times as you like...Again,if the comp has to fold you for whatever reason(you're away from comp,internet connection problems...)after 4 times you're removed.Sucks,but we've all been there...lol.
Hope this helps.Cheers.
Btw,you should try one when you're ready.They def help improve your game...
Good Luck!
Btw,mini-tourns top 3 get $,tourns its top 15...usually need top 12 or so to break even.Again,enter flash looby,then details of a tourn,and you'll see in top left prize money listings.Cheers.
