On the weekend of 3/18 - 3/20, Peppermill had a VIP slot tournament that
was patterned after the pro draft. You play 3 rounds & your scores are
added to whatever your host's scores are with the catch that after 2 rounds you
get to "draft" another host. After 2 rounds, I was dead last so I got to
draft first. By that time I had given up (knowing that I was guaranteed $100,
the minimum prize) so I stayed with my host, Matt, who was next to last
among the hosts. My last round almost equaled the first 2. I hadn't paid any
attention to the format, but there was a "team" competition for the last
round in that all the people who had drafted the same host were on the same
team. It turns out that Matt's team had the highest ave score for the last
round & we all got an extra $250. So I guess loyalty & blissful ignorance
pays. N.B. Peppermill did get all of it & a lot more back but it was nice to
have it as a starter!
