When they color up chips, you get as many of the smallest denomination chips possible with your stack, and then any odd chips left get 'raced off'. So say they are coloring off the green T$25 chips, and you have 9 of them. You get two black T$100 chips, plus 1 chip for the race off.

All the other odd chips are placed in front of people, and each player recieves as many cards as he has odd chips. In this case, each player gets between 0 and 3 cards, and the total amount of chips is rounded up to the nearest next chip. So if there are 10 odd chips over 5 people, then three T$100 chips will be awarded.

Each player may only recieve one chip. The chips are awarded by high card until no chips are left. Hope this makes sense.

Edit: Also, a player may not be eliminated from a tournament due to racing off chips. So in this case, if a player has only either 1, 2 or 3 green chips left, he is automatically awarded a black chip.
