FMAS 1st Annual Poker Run - Saturday March 8th


Rules
Poker run begins at noon at the first store. We will spend 30 minutes at the store, waiting for everyone to arrive. The BOD will hand out 1 playing card to any FMAS member (must present membership card or have proof of membership). At 12:30, the group will leave the store, and travel to store #2. At Store #2, we will hand out poker cards again. We will wait 30 minutes and then proceed to Store #3. Repeat until everyone reaches Store #7. At Store #7, we will hand out poker cards. We will wait 20 minutes to allow members to select their best hand. Everyone writes their name on the front of each card.
As the BOD collects poker hands, we will keep the best hand to the side. All other hands will get distributed into piles based on which store they came from. After all hands are collected, the best hand will be determined and that FMAS member wins the grand prize. We will then select a random card from each store pile to determine the winner of $100 gift card to that store. Poker run concludes about 6PM. We are planning to all go out for pizza/Italian at The Sicilian Oven (http://www.thesicilianoven.com/) afterwards, and anyone who would like to join in is welcome!

what if someone wins the grand prize and a store prize? the grand prize is for the best poker hand right?

 

[gkugelman]

Grand prize is for best hand, correct! But if you win the grand prize, you aren't allowed to win a store prize too. You can only win one prize total.

Car pool anyone? LOL

Lets get the word out everyone and make better use of our efforts like making this one of the biggest events of the year instead of clogging the threads with uselessness.....lets get out there fellow FMAS members and bring down the house, we should be able to pack these stores and show them a great thanks for their continued support

 

[mrx66699]

Car pool anyone? LOL

Yes I think some are going to try and car pool from the first store. Im sure anyone that would like to should be able to pair up with some fellow members before we start.

Do we need to go together with the group to each store or can we go by ourselves and hand in our cards when we are done?

You do not need to travel with the group if you do not prefer to. BUT keep in mind cards will be handed out only by the FMAS BOD and will only be handed out as the stores are visited in the order they appear on the route above and at the approximate times of the posted route above. This is a route that everyone should follow but it is understood if you choose not to. Just understand that the cards will only be passed out by the FMAS BOD when they get to those stores at those approximated times.
