    Off the top of my head I can't think of a site that aims tourneys specifically at beginners. I know that some of the Paddy Power freerolls used to be only open to people who'd been members less than 90 days (not sure if this is still the case). Most sites have freerolls which are about as close as you'll get to a beginners tourney without putting up any cash. Beyond that, all sites have a ton of low buy-in sit n gos and multi table tourneys,

    Just check www.paddypowerpoker.com

    =============================Rebuys are tournaments where you can re buy your chipstack when getting knocked out,freezeouts you only get one chipstack,so if you get knocked out,your gone.
    There is begginer cash tables on the iPoker networks.
    I recommend you play the small stakes tournaments on PaddyPower
    ================================================================================
    The $5 Freezeout is good value.I seem to find people take the smaller stakes Freezeouts alot more serious than the smaller stakes Re buys.
    The Sit and goes for $1,$2 and $5 are all good value.

    Yes, the player who rebuys the highest number of times wins the tournament.

    No need to be smart arses when the guy is clearly not a level and has 4.4k posts imo.

    Some tournaments have unlimited rebuys for the first few levels, just check the tournament info on the lobby and it will tell you if its a rebuy or freezeout.

    Sorry, i was just kidding (obviously) ;) .....on PPP rebuy tournaments are marked as either "R/A" (for qualifiers) or "Rebuy" for standard tournaments and usually the rebuy period last 1 hour. If you are new to poker I would advise you to play Freezout instead - you won't learn much on low stack rebuy as you will probably have 5 people all-in every single hand, whereas on Freezouts when you are out you are out and people don't gamble as much.
