TERMINUS: Contact Signature at MMU on 129.6 for parking
Tally Sheets may be purchased at any of the airports at $20/tally. Please print clearly when filling out contact information.
New Jersey 99s is a non-profit organization. Receipts are provided upon request.
This is not a race. The time between segments and the order in which airports are flown do not matter: stop for lunch, skip stops, rotate pilots - the ONLY requirement is to exercise good judgment and airmanship.
Start at any of the five airports and fly the circuit in any sequence; remote airports close at 2:00, arrive at the terminus no later than 2:30 pm. Purchasing tally sheets and hand-dealing at the terminus airport will continue until the 2:30 closing.
Poker Run tables will be set up outside in a prominent location that will be visible from the taxiway. Dealers at the table will deal one card per tally sheet (Note: Card decks for each airport will be distinguishable and cards are not interchangeable among airports). Each playing card will be validated and affixed to the reverse of the tally sheet.
For players with multiple tally sheets, indicate which sheet is in play BEFORE the dealer draws from the card shoe.
Remote airports will close, departing at 2:00 pm, to give pilots and team members enough time to get to the terminus. The terminus airport will continue to operate until the 2:30 closing.
The terminus will have a card shoe for each of the airports. All hands can be completed at the terminus if you have missed any or all of the airports. Note: participants who choose not to fly can report directly to the terminus and make purchases.
Fly all Five and get a Bonus Card for each hand purchased. Our new feature provides a bonus card at the terminus for players completing the circuit: One bonus card per tally sheet to use or discard at the player's discretion.
Tally sheets will be ranked according to the highest value of the hand (Traditional Ranking Rules are used, rules are available upon request). Winners choose their prizes in sequence according to their rank: Top hand will get the first choice in prize selection, and hands will continue in descending sequence until all prizes are claimed. Number of winning hands is dependent on the number of prizes. There are no Jokers or wild cards. Each airport has multiple decks, therefore it is possible to get 5 Aces, etc. It is possible for participants who purchased multiple hands to win multiple prizes.
Hands will be ranked immediately after the 2:30 pm closing once all hands have been collected.
Prize lists will be provided at Terminus. Participants are asked to preview this list so ready choices can be made during the selection process.
If you are unable to stay for the awarding of prizes, appoint a designee who will stay throughout the award event to select a prize for your winning hand. Indicate a variety of preferences in your prize selections (high to low).
Unable to Attend? Participate Remotely!
Entries purchased online are solely for remote participation. Purchase here.
Please provide a mobile number when purchasing remote hands.
Card hands for remote players will be pulled at the terminus at the start of the event by a designated 99s member: one card will be pulled from each of the 5 airport card shoes.
Participants will be sent a text with images of the front and back of their tally sheet once all remote hands are pulled. 1 text will be sent for each hand purchased.
The deadline for online purchases is 8:00 pm on Friday, October 22nd, the evening before the event. Purchases after 8:00 pm will be considered as donations only.
After the close of online purchases, remote participants will receive an email with the Zoom link for the prize selection event.
The prize selection event will begin immediately after all Poker Run hands have been ranked by the Ranking Committee, usually between 2:45 and 3:00 pm. Participants will receive a text.
During the Zoom session, both the prize board and the moderator will be spotlighted.
If your hand is a ranking hand, you will be participating in your prize selection.
If you are not present during the Zoom session, you will be awarded the prize with the highest value depending on the rank of your hand.
All winners are responsible for arranging the prize pick-up.
Questions may be sent to info@nj99s.org prior to the start of the event.
