I want to address concurrent tournaments. VDACS'; restriction hurts players, dealers, and charities due to overstepping its boundaries and not being authorized by statute. This arbitrary limitation on legal poker tournaments seems excessive without a convincing regulatory need to ensure charitable gaming is protected. Why would regulations ban concurrent tournaments while the Code allows them? A fair solution is to remove proposed 11VAC20-30-90.F.
