1st Annual EHR Poker Tournament - official announcement

[Violator31]

I didn't get a qualifying hunt to submit, I only tried for a couple of days, but this really was a cool idea.
I had the same problem Von Stratos stated.... I kept getting a duplicate bear/weapon. But it was a lot of fun trying. Thank you.

JR ol' buddy... I have a question. If I decide to go for this lowest scoring Royal Flush, will it wipe out my higher scoring one?
If it does then wouldn't this be considered a second chance rather then a bonus since it wouldn't be attached to any other score?
I know... I know... I'm a troublemaker! If it were a bonus then the folks in 1st, 2nd and 3rd would be able to win it on top of what they're already going to win. Correct?

Griz, that's the whole point! Initialy i intended to give the bonus to highest scoring "all females" Royal Flush, but due a communication failure with Tod (he did a great work with the software for this competition, my thanks are not enough to express my gratitude), the gender wasn't stored into database. So, i went to smallest scoring one, assuming that, in a way or other, would be close to an "all females" one. The whole idea was to give something to another person than one of the first 3 winners.
If you wanna debate the "second chance" concept, let me tell you that in poker tournaments it's another concept called "rebuy". Well, here the "buy-in" is registration, of course. After that, anyone is free to play the game and get as many "rebuys" are needed/wanted. If someone (that includes the guy from the top 3) feels that bonus is more valuable/appealing, they can try to get it. That's whole story!

P.S. Have a look on leaderboard! Since i revealed the secret, someone else "stoled" it from FR_Bugs. And still 90 minutes until the end, so anything can happens.

Well thanks, JR for the "Whole Story!" I understand now bud. I tried to get a low scoring one to steal it from FR_Bugs, but to no avail!
It was a whole lot of fun with this one! I thank ya kindly for hosting and of course another BIG thank you to Tod for all he does! Congrats to all the winners!

Thanks for the comp Jack! It was fun, frustrating, and more challenging than I thought it would be. I actually had Tony beat for first, but unfortunately I lost track of time and exceeded the 5 hour max limit. I look forward to your next poker hunt. Although I hope it will be adjusted such that more poker hands will come into play instead of nothing but royal flushes. All in all great tournament and thanks for hosting it.

Thank you all for competing and for your fair play! I hope you had fun, as i intended!

My deepest gratitude to Tod, who did miracles in matter of days, writting the software needed, following my crazy ideas. And, of course, to David who made all these competitions possible, by creating, maintaining, expanding and hosting the UHC site.

Man i couldn't make it, the last bear in my last hunt again was a repeated card, my lack of patience to get close and check the fur beyond mistakes took the better of me, and i coulnt submit any hunt, but still congratulations to the winners and thanks to the host, its was a great competition and i enjoyed it a lot, looking for the next time.

[Nockedup]

Thank you JackRbbt for putting on this competition and congratulations to the prize winners. I killed several monster Black Bears during this competition including two "top of the leaderboard" bears that scored 23.937 but I couldn't do anything with them.
