Competition Details
As you know we have a member guides section. This can be found
here
We havent added it for some time though we believe it to be very useful to people...particularly to people just starting to learn the game.
The chipset will be given to the person who writes the best member guide. Since we're already into December and with Christmas coming up etc, we thought it would be best not to rush the first competition so the entry date will extend from today (6th December 2005) up until 31st January 2006. After that the competition will be back to normal - ie. will be from 1st February to 28th February and so on.
A 4 day poll will be used to determine who is the winner.
THF staff are also permitted to take part in this competition
Guidelines :-
* Have a look at previous guides to give you an idea of what were looking for. If possible, try and cover something we havent already done. Any aspect of poker can be used - holdem, omaha, stud etc
* Member guides should be long and descriptive.....3 paragraphs wont do
Rules :-
We have held competitions like this in the past. Unfortunately, on more than one occasion people have tried to cheat us and fellow members.
I hate to have to add rules etc however we wont this competition to be as fair as possible and for the prize to go the person who deserved it.
* Anyone found ripping off material from elsewhere, be it from the web or another forum, will be disqualified. Any approved status would also be removed. We check all guides for originality.
* Anyone found trying to cheat the poll system will be disqualified. Members should vote for who they think wrote the best guide - they shouldnt vote for their buddies.
Good luck to everyone who participates and a big thank you to
PokerShopping for doing this for us
