Be Excellent To Another
May 3rd, 2003 - Lake Mohave, NV - Cottonwood Cove Launch
A few more details........
Any number of boats can show up, but only 100 boats in the poker run since that is how many maps I have purchased to support the poker run. The maps will be pre-marked with the stops for the cards as well as the location of the event site. Each participating boat can purchase as many additional hands as we have cards layed out on the route.
Boats not participating in the poker run will be able to find the event site without a map, location will be clearly marked and visible for miles.
From a logistics point of view, Riverlife and I will be researching spots on lake mohave to support the poker run - then based upon "conditions" the actual spots will be determined and marked the day before the event. Each spot needs to be sandy to avoid prop damage, participants will be required to get out of their boat to collect the cards. A short "scavenger hunt/hike" will be involved for each spot, this will be a self guided self paced tour between the launch and the event site. No prize for fastest time.
At each spot, participants will eventually find two boxes, one containing sealed cards for the poker hand and the other containing sealed cards for the "kids hand". Most kids do not play poker, so we have another game for them to play.
The instructions for the poker run will be on one sheet of paper, following the instructions you should be able to find two additional ways to collect cards to better your hand, as draw cards. Some cards up and some cards down.
The kids hand will operate in the same mannor on the same route, just a differnet objective.
SO............
To support 100 boats requires:
- 100 maps, customized for the day of the event, yet reusable for additional events or kept by the participant
- 1 starting point for sign-up, map distribution, start time stamp
- 1 finish point for finish time stamp
- multiple spots along the route to be set-up with markers
- probably 300 poker cards per route spot, assuming two-three hands per boat (2100 cards in total)
- probably 100 kids cards per route spot (700 cards in total)
- 2800 small envelopes for the cards
- pre-determined time and location at the event site to play the hand
Resources equate to:
- multiple days on lake mohave for recon
- full day to setup the route day before the event
- Sign-in, 2 people from 7-9 AM
- Sign-in, 2 pepole from 9-11 AM
- Finish timestamp, 1 person from 9-11 AM
- Finish timestamp, 1 person from 11-1
- Play the hand at 1 PM, six people and tables/clipboards
- Post results at 2 PM at event site, two people
- Draw raffle winners, 3 people at 1:30 PM
At sing-in, we will require basic name and address information, liability waiver. No charge to attend the event, poker hands will have small cost, additional hands will have smaller cost - no charge for "kids hands" though kids over 16 not eligable for kids prizes.
This event has no budget other than contributions from individuals being time, funds and donations. We are striving to bring forward a very high quality and well thought out event, without encurring too many costs to ourselves or the participants.
The first 5$ of the first hand will go towards covering costs, the remaining amount going towards prize money.
SO......
The more boats attending and participating in the poker run, the larger the purse for the prize money.
Event involvement:
Each person on the producttion team will receive an embroidered t-shirt. This includes the designers, people working the event in one of the roles described above, as well as people who come out to represent a charity.
Charity involvement:
There are two primary objectives at play here:
- an organized outing providing a forum to get togehter, meet others and have some fun
- raise awareness for charities
You can get involved by bringing or being an official/unofficial representative for a charity. Being able to answer questions about the charity, its mission, and stuff... in casual conversations with other boating enthusiasts. From your charity, we need a minimum of 100 pieces of literature/brochure the represents the charity and provides contact information. We need a minimum of SEVEN charities, each providing 100 pieces of literature.
All of this is subject ot change, website to be updated this weekend.
