Proposals for 7/21/2015

Three new rules came up as a part of discussion.

• Rule changes are determined by majority vote of attendees at any official GOPT event.

• The host must provide a reasonable amount of peanut M&M’s and a reasonable ratio to other M&M’s flavors (if others are provided). Different M&M’s flavors must be served in separate bowls.

• At any point after you are out in the second tournament, you can take the cash you are owed. Other penalties may be incurred for doing so (e.g. for consulting the formula/matrix before event completion, for leaving before 11, or for deferring these shots). If you leave without taking your money, you are a fool; your winnings will be distributed as deemed appropriate by those present.
