I keep seeing references on here about Jack and Jill tournaments, which I presume to be male and female pairs events. How do these and other pair’s BJ tournaments work? Andy
Jack & Jill Well the Jack & Jill event at Tulsa was alternating hands like every 6 hands (can't remember exact number of hands). Players draw for their seats and they draw to see who goes first the man or woman. I can't remember exactly how, but it was something like even number seat the men started and odd number seats the women (or reversed). Everything else is the same.
Hi Andy, The only J&J that I've played in was at the last Cherokee tournaments in May. The couples drew numbers for tables and which partner went first. The first player played 9 hands, then changed seats for 9 hands then first player played the last 9 hands. It was a lot of fun for Jan and I. We were told that this is actually a poker format. Cherokee has been very good at making BJ tournies more fun. Probably credit should go to Eric, Liz and the rest of the tournament crew. tgun
Jack & Jill rules Andy, Cherokee Casino will be hosting the Jack & Jill tournament for the second time. There were a lot of requests to have it again. It is a more laid back tournament and everyone has a lot of fun, but prize money is still up for grabs! For the Cherokee Blackjack Classic it will be the last tournament of the week. There will be a sign-up sheet for those who don't have a partner throughout the week. You may also check with Bobh4545, he is hosting a Jack & Jill bootcamp if you are in need of a partner. It is also a great deal, $110 per team (must consist of a male and female-that's only $55/person!) and 36 hands are dealt (vs. 24 hands). As Tgun and Rick explained the format was adopted from poker. In even numbered seats, the female team member plays first, odd numbered seats, the males start. Each plays nine hands and then rotates. A chip count is conducted prior to each rotation.
