1.       Seating at a game will now be determined by the Sign-up list and by draw of cards.  Bounty will select their seat first (BOUNTY IS ALWAYS ALLOWED THEIR SELECTION). Then Dealer will call off players names as they appear on sign-up list, then Dealer will have Ace thru Jack of Hearts pulled from deck and will turn up cards as names are read. This will determine players seats for night.  Exceptions to this is people in wheelchairs, those players will need room so that they can freely get in and out of their spots (Usually 3 or 9 spot).

2.      The total number of chips for the new session will be 5000 that means that you will be able to take 5000 chips to a semi final event. It will take 700 to qualify for any semi and remember that you do not lose any points. If you do not make the 700 mark, they just roll over from semi to semi, this also includes year to year.

3.      If you qualify in any semi for the finals you will be able to take the total number of chips from the entire semi’s (first semi qualified with 300, second semi with 5000, and third semi with 1500 your total will be 6800 total chips for the finals).

4.      To keep a two table game even. We move players from a larger amount to a lesser amount if they are down by three players. The rule will be that we will ask for a volunteer first. If no one wants to move, we will deal out cards to everyone but the big blind, small blind and the button (they do not have to move) and as always the low card has to move to the other table.

5.      One rule that has not been followed if you volunteer to move you can pick any seat you wish. But if you do not volunteer and receive the low card you are required to take the closest seat to the big blind that is open.

6.      We will have the Blue Chip or Take Out Chip in affect for all semis from this point on. This turned out to be a good idea for everyone and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The Blue Chip works like this everyone that plays will get one Blue Chip at the beginning of the semis. When a player goes all in the blue chip is also on the line. The player that wins the pot will receive the other players Blue Chip you can accumulate as many Blue Chips as you can. At the end of the game we will calculate the amount of the Blue Chips for each player. Each Blue Chip is worth 100 points toward the next Semi.
