Well, instead of idling one hour to the next stop (which I would have made the deadline) and then 2 1/2 hrs back (in the dark and in unfamiliar waters), I decided to take the short cut back to the marina. After loading up, we headed out to the awards dinner to pick up my last card & give them my hand.
No, no, no.....................I didn't complete the run 100% so I was disqualified.
I have NEVER heard of such a thing at ANY poker run I have ever attended.
I'm glad they still send me sign up info, It makes great kindling in the fireplace!

Re: The King of Speed...Poker Runs America.
I'm for the don't have to complete every stop for good reason philosphy, but there has to be some form of measure to ensure the cheap-azz's don't short-cut it and save on the fuel. But then agian every run is differently setup for different reasons. Some/most are trying to generate funds for charitable cuases and the money is made form $$ spent at the parties and on entry fees, meaing everyone earns the right to draw and the run itself is more of a social activity for the day. Others are out to strictly party and divvy up the bounty to the luckiest both in draws and in boat reliability.
