Full Redraws
A full redraw is when all players are randomly assigned to new tables. This will be allowed to happen after 45 days for the first round and after 30 days for all other rounds. They will happen when a table gets down to five or less players or when the minimum number of playing days is up (45 or 30).
Live Redraws
A live redraw is when one or more tables are "broken" and the remaining players are placed onto running tables with empty seats. Live redraws are used to extend the round to prevent full redraws. Also, sometimes players are moved from one table to another for balancing without breaking a table.
