Concurrent Tournaments.
 

My remark involves concurrent tournaments. VDACS'; prohibition damages players, dealers, and charities because it goes beyond their mandate and lacks statutory backing. This random constraint on legal poker tournaments feels unwarranted without a compelling regulatory requirement to maintain charitable gaming integrity. Why do the regulations disallow concurrent tournaments when the Code approves them? One reasonable adjustment is to eliminate proposed 11VAC20-30-90.F.
