Dear VDACS,
My comment pertains to concurrent tournaments. VDACS' prohibition negatively impacts players, dealers, and charities because it exceeds their scope and isn't supported by law. This baseless constraint on legal poker events appears unwarranted without a crucial regulatory need to safeguard charitable gaming. Why do the regulations prevent concurrent tournaments when the Code permits them? A reasonable change is to strike proposed 11VAC20-30-90.F.
I think that tipping should be allowed. It encourages commaraderie and honesty.
The proceeds should be based on a net amount, not a gross amount including the prizepool.
Regarding rebuys, they MUST be done AFTER you lose all of your chips. That is the standard literally everywhere!
Thanks for listening,
RIchard
