My comment relates to player limitations. 11VAC20-30-90.C-D restricts all sorts of people connected in some way to someone connected to a poker game (yes, it’s that tenuous) from playing in the tournament. This harms players, dealers, and charities because It is unduly restrictive for no reason. And, especially in the family/community environment that most poker rooms have, all these restrictions interfere with the poker community coming together and enjoying the game. If VDACS were familiar with the poker industry, these rules would never have been included.
