Concurrent Tournaments
 

My comment concerns concurrent tournaments. VDACS'; prohibition harms players, dealers, and charities due to overreach and lack of statutory authorization. This arbitrary restriction on legal poker tournaments appears unreasonable without a strong regulatory need for ensuring charitable gaming integrity. Why do regulations prohibit concurrent tournaments when the Code allows it? A reasonable solution is to remove proposed 11VAC20-30-90.F.
