representing Teachers & Service Members here wanting an equal oppurtunity
 

 I wish to high light without being able to offer normal poker room compensation, charities will not be able to operate poker properly, and may not even play at all.  Tipping is an integral dealers/staff make a living wage throughout all of poker gaming. 

it's IMPERATIVE for me also to mention that VDACS'; ban negatively affects players, dealers, and charities as it exceeds their authority and isn't supported by statute. This unwarranted limitation on legal poker events seems extremely unjustified without a pressing regulatory necessity to protect charitable gaming. Why do the regulations forbid concurrent tournaments while the Code permits them?

 

A sensible fix is to strike proposed 11VAC20-30-90.F.
