Can anyone help me to organize a club poker run. How may t=stops do you make and how many cards do you use from a regular deck?

This may sound like a dumb question.  Other than the vague statements I have heard about going from one place to another and collecting cards,   How does a poker run work?  Exactly what is it?

Ken;

It's a rally.......normally you run for time, speed and distance (a TSD rally), a "Poker Rally" is one version of a "gimmick rally", one which you travel over a pre-set course (but unknown to the participants prior to their arrival) Upon arrival, drivers and navigators are given route instructions (2.3 miles to Shell station, turn left, go 1.73 miles, bear right at boulder, etc.) There are 5 checkpoints set up, at which you stop, and are handed a playing card..at the end of the course (usually a restaurant parking lot), the best 5 card stud poker hand wins..........

So does the poker hand determine the winner, or is it a combination of TSD and the poker hand?

Strange as it seem, I have never been on a rally, but it holds a great interest for me.  Strange as it seems, my brain is working.

Nope, as a "gimmick Rally", TSD doesn't count (the navigator doesn't need the clipboard with the three stopwatches on it..) Best Poker hand wins, period

Rallies can be a lot of fun.....Navigator selection (if you're not married to them) is important.... Ya don't want it to degenerate into a fight over that last right hand turn......

There's a bunch of small trophies usually given, and dash plaques for all

At the least, it's a nice day's ride in the country, with dinner at the end

    Thanks to everyone who posted a reply to the poker run. Our club "Chester County Corvette Club" of Lionville, Pa. plans to hold this event event in late September.

I'll try to make this.   Have a lot of time so keep us informed on how this event takes fold.
