SPONSORSHIP
We encourage each rider to go out and solicit sponsorship for his or her participation in the ride. Even if it is only 50 Pesos from each sponsor it all goes to a good cause. All the money should be collected when the sponsor agrees to support you. All sponsorship money must be handed in to an MDMC representative on or before the start of the Poker Run. You can download a Sponsor Form using the Documents option on the menu above.
POKER RULES
There’s a possibility because we are using multiple decks of cards that someone can end up with "5 of a kind" (example: 5 Aces). So not to complicate things... we will make it “the strongest hand wins” regardless! Five Aces will beat four Aces and Five 2s will beat 4 Aces! And if there's a tie for any position, then the riders that are tied must each draw one card from the deck until their winning positions can be determined (highest card wins the tie-breaker). But the one draw back to using multiple decks of card is that it's possible that someone could have a "straight" going but then they end up with two of the same identical cards, that would break up the "straight" (Example: like a Ten, a Jack, a Queen, and then two Kings of the same suit), that would suck, but that would just be the luck of the draw, They loose!.
