**New Contest** NWRC Hold'em

[sledge4]

If you don't have 5, you play your best "cards".

It should even itself out over the duration of the contest. I tend to shy away from letting people use any stable, because some residents only have a small handful and it wouldn't be fair against someone with 12 or whatever.

Some weeks you'll have more than 5, sometimes not.

Should I add a 3rd stable? Most have at least 3 stables.

Should I open it to any track?

I haven't had a lot of time to check this out but it seems as if having to get 5 entries from 2 barns running at NWRC tracks is too limited. How about everyone enter 3 barns (must be NWRC resident barns) and run at any track. With those conditions in mind I don't think trainers should be able to buy races for this contest. Makes it tooo easy and people that dont buy races wouldn't really have a chance. Just a few thoughts. Rich

what about if a person can not find a team mate and has only 1 stable?

My self I could use both my stables.

I say go w/ 3 stables. 2 is too few to make a good "hand".

i'm in different type of contest sure would be intertesting

oh and I like lilbit's idea. run three barns but no buying or bid races. Play it straight if you will with no wilds real man's poker lol

What are the chances of getting some of the players with only two stables to go together as a team of three stables and those with more than two or three stables to go on there own...

Just a thought

I'm fine with solo or team participation. The only reason I did solo entrant is to get the numbers up.

If we had 10 members play and we did teams, in effect we only have 5 entries. But if it meant someone playing vs not playing, i'm ok with someone partnering. But the team would have to decide how to split the credits. Does the person with 2 stables get 66% of the winnings? The answer is probably yes, but it's just a point to be made.

Revisiting this contest again. Maybe some changes based on feedback. Also updated the prizes.

Let me know your thoughts.

I'm in but prefer NWRC races only to make it a little more difficult to get 5 aces
