Please note: Community Poker Bike Ride participants must observe the rules of the road. All streets will remain open for the duration of the ride. Bike at your own risk.

Poker Run Guidelines:
* Although this is a "run", there are no prizes for speed - it does not matter who is first to complete the course. It is not a race.

* The winning hand is determined by standard poker hand rankings. The best 5 cards will build the winning hand. No wild cards.

*Participants will be dealt cards at three stops along the route. They will take their final hand to the Arapahoe Basin Booth at Dillon’s Town Party in Marina Park for scoring and prize redemption.

* Duplicate cards will not be allowed. Any player receiving a duplicate card will be required to be re-dealt. For example, if you draw the seven of clubs and you already have the seven of clubs on your score card, then you must put the card back and re-draw another card.

* Each participant must have a poker score sheet / card, and this must be filled in by the organizers, not by the participant It is the participants' responsibility to check their score sheet before leaving each checkpoint, to ensure that the card they drew is correctly recorded on their score sheet. Organizers may find it useful to use different colors on the score sheet for each checkpoint.
