<font class="post">
Hi all,

I am posting this tournament recap on behalf of myself and the two heroes that did most of the organizing..

This
tournament is a result of the efforts of Slacker13 and JasonHoldem. I
have simply been the liason for Paradise and helped with some of the
technical aspects to get it launched.

Great job J &amp; J !!



OKEY,

<font color="red">DA DETAILS!!</font>[/b].

Important:
The confirmation pop-up should say "Hurricane Relief" be sure to check
to make sure you are sending it to the proper account. Also, if you
have sent a donation please copy the email to Slacker's PM (you may
remove personal info of course) the reason for this is we would like to
provide a list on the forum and also with the red cross check when it
is sent.

Next Wednesday, Granny will provide a detailed
accounting of all funds raised through the direct contribution account
as well as the tourney proceeds.

Bounty's

Granny
has placed a $50 bounty on herself which will be split between the
relief fund and the bounty hunter (each will get $25);however, if
granny is eliminated with Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] the bounty will increase to $150 to be split the same way (each will get $75)

Slacker
13 is also placing a $50 Bounty on his head to be split between fund
and bounty hunter. My Paradise handle is XR622 (my old license number).

jasonHoldEm is also placing a $50 Bounty on his head to be split in the same fashion. He is jasonHoldEm at paradise.

***
The player portion of the above bounties is open to forum members who
regged prior to the start of the tournament only. The relief fund
portion will be sent regardless of who knocks us out. ***

Please
feel free to add bounties and last longer bets, with a portion of these
going to the katrinahelp account that paradise has established for
transfers.

Thanks
to paradise for matching the prize pool cut. Dig deep folks. These
people are gambling folk on the gulf coast. They are family.

The
gulfport airport has just been converted to a hospital. This is
devastating and we should feel lucky if we were not effected and happy
to help our brothers and sisters that were. There may be thousands
dead, and certainly the gaming industry on the Gulf Coast is destroyed
for now. However, people need food and water for now. I have friends I
can't find, and I see that all the posters from the area have not made
it back to the forum.

God help them and their families. Our prayers that they survived will go a long way, but for now, the need is CASH.

Feel
free to register for the tournament NOW. The more registered, the more
players we will attract. Tell your friend's, cross post this
everywhere! We need lots of players!



Finally,
I know that stars is doing 2 tournaments in about 10 days. WTG!!
Hopefully the mods will sticky those tourney details a few days before
the event.

However, if we could possibly get this thread
stickied now, it would help attendance a TON. We only need it "stuck"
for next 5 days.

Michael?? Matt?? lil' help here please?
TIA


Any questions, please post them here or PM slacker13 or jasonHoldEm.

I
will just be handling the technical and financial stuff, these two are
the directors and their word is final on all issues regarding this
event.

Dig DEEP!!
