Scott,
Our Poker Run went pretty well. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and no one was arrested! ask "Site (Mike Clark)" about that one. Our format was somewhat determined by the Columbus Architectural Tour. I used their map that has 70+ locations marked and then wrote clues to point you to the right location. We had 10 stops including the hotel and the Visitor's Center - where everyone received a map and their 1st card. We staggered the start by 2 minutes per car. Not every stop had a person there, 6 did, including the last stop which was the park where lunch was. I made 3 different versions of directions (so people wouldn't just follow each other), but actually told them that each map was different, I know I'm sly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) I think only 2 people found all the locations correctly, but all ended up at the Lunch location in a reasonable time frame. We had some good hands, 1 group had 2 pair and 2 groups had 3 of a kind, 3s and the other had jacks. I purchased 8 different decks of cards, the differences were somewhat subtle to totally different. I would lean toward totally different decks next time. This eliminates the possibility of someone showing up with a couple decks of Bicylcle cards and making their own hand. Things that will help you make the WCC Poker Run a success, I'm sure there are more than just this:

You must have been reading my mind, I was thinking about decks of cards from different casinos with their logos on them. I have not been out to vegas for a few years now. If you could pick up about 6 or 8 decks that would be great. I am going to make the maps from Microsoft MapPoint 2004 with different routes to the same location. Some will seem longer than others but the times will all be pretty close. Any and all suggestion, please post them here. As for voluteers, I thought about that too, most of the people are going to want to drive in this so it wont be easy. Sonce I am hosting it, I guess I wont be in it so that is one, and there was another person from another thread said he would also. I can also put whoever I bring with me (Lisa?) out at a post somewhere close by and maybe her friend. I will figure it out. Oh and John, the chips were more of a momento type thing as a suggestion, I didnt bring it up but did think it was a cool idea.
