Drear Members,

We are back to splashing pots again …..please don’t splash

Tournament Directors:  We thank you for volunteering for this thankless job.

  • Assign Table Captains

  • If you get knocked out early you must appoint another player to do the closing, which includes putting computer, cards, chips, etc. back in the cabinets, locking all the cabinets, returning all keys to the key box, writing up the results and placing the sheet in the red binder in cabinet #3, etc.

  • If you cannot get someone to take over for you, then it is your responsibility to stay until the end and close up as noted above. (This is where the “thankless job” kicks in.)

Table Captains:  Please control your table.

  • Speak up  if players are splashing pots, commenting on whether another player should call a bet, commenting on the way others play, bet, etc.

  • If you get knocked out, either you or the Tournament Director must appoint another Table Captain to replace you.

  • If you are not sure how to handle a situation, call for the Tournament Director.  Whatever is decided, right or wrong, the ruling stands.     

That’s All Folks

TIDBITS - as of 4/19/2022

We continue to have problems at the tables and ask that Table Captains please help us enforce our club rules.

  • ABSOLUTELY NO EATING at the tables.  That includes candy, no matter how small (like jelly beans).  Table covers are getting sticky again with people puting candy in their mouth and then wiping their hands on the felt.

  • CELL PHONES:  Put them on silence or vibration.  Don’t pass them around to show pictures, game scores, etc.  Leave the table if you have to use the phone.  We strongly encourage you to leave the room, especially for prolonged conversations.

Smokers:

Members are complaining about having to sit next to a smoker.  Some are allergic to the smell; others are nauseated.  If you need to smoke, do so in designated areas and away from the building. Think of those that are being affected.   Perhaps using a mouth spray after smoking might help to lessen the smell.

Seat Cushions:

There are a number of seat cushions in the closet for your use.  Please do not take one that has someone else’s name or picture on it.

Illness/Hospitalization:

If a member is seriously ill or hospitalized, please let Pat Rumsey know and she will send a Get Well Card from the club.
