All people who are eligible and medically able to receive the vaccine are required to be vaccinated. If you plan to attend and are not vaccinated, please contact the event holder explicitly.
The event site is requiring masks while indoors (we'll plan on moving the dayboard outside), and anyone who cannot be vaccinated will need to wear a masks both indoors and outdoors. Everyone should wear a mask during combat and other times when social distancing can't be maintained.
The event site may impose additional restrictions (capacity limits, mask requirements, vaccine documentation, etc.) -- we'll keep this page updated and notify anyone already pre-reged if anything changes.
There will be a poker tournament held at the Black & White 2021. 25 gold buy in, 4000 chips. There is one 25 gold rebuy when you are at 1000 chips or less in the first hour, or at the end of the first hour. Rebuys will not be available after the first hour. When you first buy in, you will be given an opportunity to buy 1000 extra chips for 5 gold. this 5 gold will go directly to the dealer as a tip. standard blinds will be used.
As has been in the past, there may be additional prizes available for the top placed players.
Note to players: the poker tournament will start at 1:30 and will be set to run for a maximum time of 3 hours. With enough participation, this tournament will count towards points for the Stacked Deck Tournament series.
