Seeley's Bay Red Canoefest Silent Poker Run
Silent Poker Run Rules
· All individuals must be wearing an approved lifejacket at all times while on the water.
· No alcohol is permitted before or during this event.
· Individuals under the age of 15 will participate in collecting a poker hand individually but must be accompanied at all times by an adult in the vessel.
· Each passenger, collecting a poker hand, must complete a separate registration form and waiver. Additional passengers in your vessel who are not collecting a poker hand must sign a waiver as well.
· All participants collecting a poker hand must collect 5 sealed envelopes (one from each station) to create their final poker hand.
· Once the participant has completed the course, they will open the sealed envelopes with a Poker Run Official, who will enter the poker hand onto a score card.
· Should participants choose, they may purchase an additional 1 or 2 sealed card envelopes. The cost of each additional envelope is $5.00. The participant now has the option to choose the ‘best’ five cards for their 5 card poker hand.
· The winning hand is determined by standard poker hand ratings. Because there are multiple decks being used, duplicates may come into play. In this case, players will re-draw any cards that are duplicates. For example, if you draw the 8 of hearts and you already have the 8 of hearts in your hand, then you will put the card back and re-draw another card.
· Additional rules required ‘On the Spot’ will be determined by the officials on hand. All decisions by these officials will be final.
