To whoever reads this,
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.
Everyone is used to tipping where ever they go. I'm not sure why this is an issue. This hurts the dealers and staff. It almost seems like you are intentionally trying to hurt the dealers and staff. I would like to see this regulation that eliminates tipping taken out.
The idea of charging the operations company based on the total amount collected including prizepool is ludicrous. The amount that the charity collects should be based on the net amount that comes in.
The way that VDACS has termed rebuy is more of an add-on. What in the world did you mean? A rebuy is only when you have run out of chips, this rule makes no sense to me and I've played poker for over 20 years.
