BIG HAT NEWS

2009-2010 EVENTS CALENDAR ANNOUNCED

“JUST ONE” is the Big Hat motto for this year.  “Just one” reflects our objective for every big hat member to help “just one” AMBUC become a BIG HAT or bring in “just one” new AMBUC member.

EVENTS

The primary event this year will be the “The Big Hat Poker Challenge”.  However, new rules apply this year.  SIX OF THE MONTHS we will have a “Texas Hold Em” Tournament that COUNTS FOR THE CHALLENGE.  Don Moore and Patrick Pearson will Chair this event.  Every player will receive 5 points for entering and an additional 5 points for every person knocked.  In other words the first person out gets 5 points, second one out gets 10 points, the third one out gets 15 points etc.  Assuming 15 players, then the winner gets 75 points. 

The “Catch” is each player is allowed (and encouraged) to bring one guest to the meeting and the combined points will be retained by the Big Hat Member.  The guest can be an AMBUC (but not a big hat) or a prospective member.  The guest can win the daily money, but is not eligible to play for or win the grand prize (unless they become a big hat during the year).  Points earned prior to becoming a big hat will go to the “host” not to the new big hat member.

The points will be totaled and the top 8 plus ties will be invited to the “Final Table” to be held May 17, 2010.  Everyone will start will an equal amount of chips at the Final Table.

COSTS/PRIZES:  The entry fee for the CHALLENGE EVENT is $25.  $20 OF THE $25 collected will be paid out based on the number of players to be determined by the co chairs of the event.  Both the Big Hat member and the guest are required to pay the entry fee.  $5.00 WILL BE CONTRIBUTED TO THE “Final Table” prize pool.  Participants will play for an estimated $800 in total prize money to be paid out $400 to first, $240 to second, and $160 to third.  No entry fee will be required, only an invitation based on the points earned in the previous 6 events.

SCHEDULE

All meetings will be on the third Monday of each month beginning at 6:30 with Poker starting at 7:00.  The meetings will be held at the Elks Club.  Food and limited beverages will be provided.  The highlighted dates count towards the year end event.
