Default Re: Are Poker Contests going to be popular in the US ? Recent Court ru

[ QUOTE ]
The entry fees for a spelling bee, a chess tournament, a beauty pageant are unconditional because the event begins at a scheduled time regardless of the number of entrants.

If I'm not mistaken, the National Spelling Bee takes x number of contestants from each state, and it doesn't start until it has y number of contestants.

Your language here just doesn't make much sense.

One table poker contests most definitely have a starting time: they usually start one minute after ten contestants have signed up.

And as far as I know, the recent judgement doesn't say any of this.
