There will be 5 checkpoints , 4 of which will be within the WaterShed Trail System. You will be allowed to get to these checkpoints by any route you want (human powered). The WaterShed Trail System is marked amazingly well and there will be maps available. The shortest total mileage to get to all 5 checkpoints will be about 8 miles, but again you can take the long/more fun way if you want.

THE CITY HAND:

There will be 5 checkpoints within city limits. You are allowed to take any route to get to these locations. You must only use human power to get to these spots!! Shortest mileage to get to these spots, probably a mile. But again you are free to take the "FUN" route of your choice.

Both City and Trails hands will be broken down into the top 3 hands. Total buy in will determine the cash payout (50/50) per hand.  In the event of a draw, those players will cut for High Card to decide.

There will also be WILD CARDS in every deck. These cards will be worth prizes and possible cash as well. If you draw a WILD CARD for your hand, you keep that wildcard (turn it in at Up Front Gallery) and then draw another card for your hand at that checkpoint, until you get a non-wild card. So basically you get mulipule chances to win!!
