| Poker Run Basic Event Information This is not a timed event. This event will challenge the entrants ability to follow a set of driving instructions that will lead them from checkpoint to checkpoint. These checkpoints are spread around Walla Walla at unspecified locations. It is an entrant and co-pilot's job to follow the directions to locate each checkpoint. At the end of the event, the best 4 poker hands will win. |

| Playing Cards & Poker Hands You will receive one playing card at each checkpoint that you make to without using a cheat. If you complete the course perfectly you could get up to 7 playing cards to work with. At the final checkpoint you will choose your 5 best cards and turn them into the officials. All winning hands will be confirmed. |

Bonus points are awarded at each checkpoint with a maximum of 8 bonus points possible. One point is awarded for answering a bonus question based on your drive. Another point is awarded for successfully making it to a checkpoint without using the cheat. At the final checkpoint you will receive one card for 5 points and 2 cards if you get 7 or 8 points. Maximum of 2 extra cards will be awarded. |

| Cheats On The bottom of each set of instructions is a cheat. This cheat will give the exact location of the next checkpoint. These cheats are stapled shut and by opening a cheat you will not get a card at the next check point. You will however have the opportunity to answer the bonus question and possibly get one bonus point. |

| Checkpoints You will check in with an official at each checkpoint. The official will check your instructions and provide you with a playing card (as long as the cheat was not opened). The official will also ask you one bonus question that is worth one point. The official will record your bonus points, card received, and other information. |
