Okay, here are the game rules.
Firstly, all 19 participants have been divided into 3 tables, as seen in the OP. Each column represents one table. Table A are people who claim a location (by the flag designation under their avatar) outside of the USA. Tables B and C are made up of chippers in the USA. You will notice that the USA chippers groups are slightly larger than the non-USA chippers group and therefore individual odds may be less. Well, that's just too bad. I'm in a slightly pissy mood because the border continues to be closed to Canadians for at least another month despite opening up to Americans earlier. And I've got chips piling up over the last 16 months over there.
One winner from each Table will have first option to purchase the Jack Sample sets at the listed price (plus any shipping/insurance costs). If a winner changes their mind and opts not to buy the set (then why the heck did you sign up?!?!), then the participant with the next highest hand at the same Table will get the chance, etc.
Each participant will be dealt 3 hole cards. Then, 9 community cards will be dealt in a 3x3 pattern. Players will determine their best hand by using 2 of their hole cards and 1 "group" of 3 community cards. To qualify as a "group", it must be either one full row of 3 cards or one full column of 3 cards in the grid. Diagonals or L-shapes cannot be used to determine a "group". A 10th community card will then be dealt, and it can be used to replace 1 card from the designated "group" for each player, but cannot replace a hole card. The 10th card also cannot be used by a player to switch his designated "group" to make a better hand with a different group - one must still use the group that makes the best hand before the 10th community card is dealt.
Everybody understand? Good. I'm going to have dinner first and then get this thing done. Good luck, everyone!
