This is a Bondurant Tradition which dates back many years ago. Bondurant Men and Women would come together to play this classic card game.
Highlights:
- Singles Tourney. Each participant will play games against multiple opponents
- Registrations must be submitted no later than 1 p.m. on December 30
- Bondurant Parks and Recreation staff will facilitate the tournament and keep track of wins (2 points), losses (0 points), and skunks (3 points), as well as the point differential for each game in case of a tiebreaker.
- At the conclusion, winners will be determined and prizes will be awarded!
The Rules:
- You MUST bring cards and boards. These items will NOT be furnished.
- Boards all face same direction during play.
- Cut for deal at the start of each game. Low card wins. Cards will be cut before each deal.
- If your opponent misses points in counting, you cannot take their points. After a hand is counted and the peg set, you cannot take points missed; but, if you take too many, you must move back.
- If a Jack is cut and the Dealer needs only two points to go out, the Dealer wins the game.
- Any mistakes in writing down scores or misunderstandings in hand counting must be checked by the judges for a final decision.
- Registration money will be pro-rated back in prizes.
- No helping another player count points unless you are personally playing that game.
- Two points for a win; three points for a win with a skunk; zero points for a loss.
- Tournament winner is determined: Most Total Points, if tie then Games won, if tie then number of Skunks, if tie then Scoring (+ -) differential.
