Do you mean this is a rebuy?
How many chips to start, how many when you rebuy, when can you rebuy and what is the blind schedule.
Entry fee includes: meal & beverage - chance to win door prizes
Buy-In: $50.00 within the first hour
sounds to me like the 50.00 goes to the prize pool and the 100.00 to charity, less meal,beverage and door prize
False!
Mark
Total entry fees (-) minus expenses = net proceeds
Net proceeds divided by two, half goes to charity the other half will be distributed to 12 placing players according to percentage breakdown. We are in the process of securing a tournament director who will finalize all those details.
Yes, it's a re-buy-in for $50.00. Looks like we start with 5000 in chips. As soon as our tournament director is secured, all those details will be finialized and available.
seriously, though, good luck with the fundraising.
Dear Mr. Pompous,
Thank you so much for your most positive comments. Much appreciated. For your information (although it seems you know everything) we have checked with the OLG and AGCO, both have indicated no problem. We are also checking with the local OPP just to be sure. All proceeds (if you read the ad) will go to "charity-expenses-prizes", no rake, no profit. Hopefully you're very busy that day and can't attend! We will post any new developments as they are available.
Thank you once again for your written support.
Ask yourself, do you not think that in the many years that this board has been running, that this topic has not come up repeatedly?
Your game is illegal, you will not likely gain many players on here. Fair warning by the way, police have trolled this board before, so you may want to hurry up on that OPP check. Your game is illegal if you're taking any $ from the prize pool for any reason (in this case, expenses and prizes).
Pkrfce up there may not be the most tactful, but he's right.
Mark
and this information is relevant to you because??
Dear Mark,
Much better approach than "buddy". Thanks for your comments. That is the information we are looking for. I posted here some time ago asking for advice, now it's coming. If the event is illegal, we will simply cancel the tourney. Thanks again for your information and tact. Much appreciated.
Michel
datamn for eg.
Does this mean I can't have Indian buffet the night before the event? your thoughts?
Thank you for the humour. Much much appreciated. For a minute there, I thought I had just announced the end of poker as we know it here in Canada. Wow!
Dear Kristy,
Thank you as well for your optimistic approach. I am waiting for a call from the Acting Chief of Police to find out if it's a go or not. Should the event be good to go, we will need a director, so I will ask you for potentials once I know. Thanks again.
Michel
at least i wished you good luck... and i was serious. i just think your approach here is seriously flawed. and would make a good comedy bit.
don't even think about mentioning folding aces pre-flop, or you will never hear the end of it;
There just working on their tilt skills, that's all.
"They're"
Mark
Yeah...okay Mark. You're English is a good as your support. It's "there" the location...not "they are" the people.
Wow...and you play!
Michel
Mark would like to apologize for his insufficient use of the "Quote" button.... initial intention was to tilt PokerJah
Mark would further like to apologize for this apology. Sorry for the inconvenience.
....................................
Mark would like to apologize for the previous apology inadvertently added into the previous apology, wherein he was apologizing for the poor communication of his previous post, resulting in said apology. Mark would however like to reiterate that his initial "pwnage" (as the youth are saying) is in fact still relevant and applicable.
Thank you for your time.
Good night Cleveland
Mark
(Man, I gotta find something to do at work for the next two hours)
Hey...it's "buddy" again. Thank you once again for your optimism and support. One day, I will be as "together" as you are and organize the perfect tourney will all that "you" desire, but...for now, it's not about you. So, thanks for all your support, we will get it right. Until then, don't bother writing unless you have some valuable knowledge or ideas (criticism doesn't count). And by the way...we'll try to keep the comedy bit going as well. Once again, Thank you so much.
Captain Grammar to the rescue!!
The indian buffet is good to go according to the charity in question.
Now you tell me...after all that abuse and criticism. I'll start looking for an avatar then. Geeezzzzzz
it worked wonders for Cindyxxx
Here is a good collection:

There is even a nice Canadian one.
if only 'legal' events were advertised on this forum, there would be none. Kind of a narrow focus.
