Good day people of the Realms!
Recently at the gathering in Clontarf we held a gambling tournament that was aimed at players who have not earned any points recently. I feel it went well. After talking with other members of the Gamblers Guild, we have decided to make this official.
A Gamblers Guild member can now “sponsor” a gambling tournament that only those that have not earned any points in the current, or the last Stacked Deck tournament may enter. We have developed a few rules:
- The sponsoring Gamblers Guild member will put up 5 gold, or more, per player. This is so that there will be no expense to the newer player. Approximately 2/3 of the gold should go to the winner and the rest to 2nd place. Alternatively, if there is a normal stacked deck tournament at that same event, the prize could instead be a full buy in to that tournament.
- The sponsoring Gamblers Guild member must either deal the tournament themselves or arrange for a dealer to be available. This dealer should be well versed with the game and be able to help with mechanical aspects of the game.
- It must be part of the event announcement and be advertised at least 2 weeks in advance.
- There must be a minimum of 6 players to count.
- All players will earn the normal 100 chip bonus if they make the final table.
- 1st place will earn 2 points towards the current stacked deck final table tournament. And 2nd place will earn 1 point.
