Why would regulations prohibit concurrent tournaments when the Code approves them?
 

i'd like to discuss concurrent tournaments. VDACS'; ban on such events harms players, dealers, and charities as it goes beyond their purview and isn't authorized by statute. This arbitrary restriction on legal poker tournaments seems unreasonable without a significant regulatory need to uphold charitable gaming integrity.  One logical fix is to eliminate 11VAC20-30-90.F

 

Thank you in advance for fixing this.
