Added details (This is at the Quechan Resort (Q-Resort) at the Los
Algodones Exit off of I-8 about 10 miles west of Yuma.
Play starts at 6:00 PM; don't know if this is California or
Arizona time. When the tournaments were at Paradise
Casinos, they ran on Arizona time. Shold be able to
register at Q-Resort starting the Monday before the
tournament. This is the first one they have held at this
location, but probably very similar to ones held previously
at Paradise Casinos. This is the first tournament they have
held in over a year (previously held at Paradise Casinos).
In past entries have varied greatly, from a low of less
than 40 in the summers, to well over 100 in the winter
months (record attendence is 148 players). Difference is
the 100,000 snow birds that descend on Yuma in the winter.
They are holding this on a Wednesday, which is also the day
that Seniors get $10 free play on, so they are targeting
the snow birds, and should get a good turn out. The
tournaments at Paradise were not well run; no button, no
order to betting except on final hand, play always starts
from 1st base, final hand as well; tournament not well
policed, some players holding/hiding chips (minor problem),
players trying to change bets, players holding out and not
betting until everyone else has bet, etc. - dealers not
familiar with tournament rules or not enforcing them, some
times dealers hassle about slow play, sometimes they let a
player take forever, even at same table. Hopefully, they
will run tournaments at Q-Resort better, but, I somehow
doubt it.).
