EAA Chapter 36, Hagerstown Regional Airport, MD
Time:
8:00 am – Pilots may begin registering/purchasing poker hand sheets (you may arrive anytime between 8:00 and 1:00 to begin participating--allows time to draw raffle tickets for all participants).
4:00 pm – Poker Hand sheets are due back to the Registration Table
Poker Sheets:
$5 per sheet (“hand”) - no limit on the amount of hands you may purchase/play
Participants receive one raffle ticket for each sheet purchased
Ex: One poker sheet purchased = one raffle ticket
Five poker sheets purchased = five raffle tickets
Prizes:
Prizes will be awarded to the top three poker hands – poker sheets will be reviewed by several chapter members to confirm the winners; prizes will be mailed to the winners
All participants are eligible to win prizes that are raffled off
Raffle winners may be able to take their prize with them upon returning their poker sheets if the raffle draw already took place (a little bit after 1:00 pm)
Drawing Cards:
At each airport, pilots will draw a card for each number of hands they have to play. Each card will go back in the deck and get shuffled prior to drawing a card for any subsequent hands. Each card draw is for a designated sheet and must be marked accordingly before moving onto the next card draw for additional hands. Participants shall NOT pick and choose which hand a particular card will apply to.
Making a “poker hand”:
The route includes seven airports including HGR. Pilots much visit a minimum of five different airports to make a “hand.” Pilots may visit up to all seven airports. Any pilot who visits six or all seven airports, will get to use their best five cards for a given hand, to make their hand. Since cards are not given away, the remote possibility exists for two participants to draw the exact same cards; or for a participant to draw the same card for different hands. Ties will be broken based on the highest 6th or 7th card on the sheet.
Route:
Pilots may visit the following airports in any particular order. A clockwise or counter-clockwise flow is recommended to avoid busting any Prohibited or Restricted Airspace around Camp David (“P-40”).
* HGR – Hagerstown Regional Airport (Start/Finish), Hagerstown, MD
* MRB – Eastern WV Regional Airport, Martinsburg, WV
* FDK – Frederick Municipal Airport, Frederick, MD
