And you PCFers think you play mixed games -- hah!
"Hey everyone,
As previously announced, BARGE 2022 will take place at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino from July 25-30, 2022.
Below is the current tentative schedule for BARGE 2022. We wanted to get this out to everyone as soon as possible in case it impacts people's travel plans. However, note that it is subject to change as we do not have final approval from the Westgate, and we have not decided on a few items. Specifically:
- we have not determined whether there will be a banquet and/or symposium this year
- we have not yet determined whether we will have a video poker tournament and/or a second chance poker tournament (format to be determined) on Wednesday afternoon
- the blackjack tournament on Friday is unconfirmed, and may move to Wednesday afternoon if we have a video poker tournament
- house fees for all events are not confirmed
- all start times are subject to change
