Fermentin' Wild Poker BIF
"shuffle up and drink!"

The Rules:

Each player submits one ante beer to the pot. winner (the best poker hand) takes all.
6 randomly selected cards will be mailed to each player, to be used to make your best 5-card poker hand. max of one wild card allowed.
Each player must send 5 bottles to represent their 5 card hand. Extras are encouraged but not required. Any additional beers sent will not count toward the poker hand.
The only way to qualify as a wild would be a non US distributed beer example (westy 12, narke, blabaer, etc).
no duplicate beers allowed. all bottles must at least be different vintages.
You must attach the cards to the beer you send to your matched person. So there is verification of the hands dealt. For a wild card, attach a paper to indicate what you want it to play as.
You must include some swag: at least one brewery t-shirt and one piece of glassware (tulip/snifter/etc - no pint glasses!).
in the event of a tie, all non-tied players will vote on which hand should be deemed the winner. if a tie still exists following the vote, the winner will be chosen by coin flip.
all disputes will be resolved by two-man sack races on consecutive sundays until a winner is decided.
