Added details (Most of this information is from their last tournament in 
Sept., 2009. They have been consistant in their prior 
tournament so any changes should be minor.

NOTE: ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN

Player's Card required.

Telephone number, to register, as listed on their web site 
is wrong. The correct direct number to the casino is
1-888-259-7278

Registration (without an offer code) is probably best 
accomplished by going through the Poker Room or talking to 
a casino host.

Walk-in buy-ins on Feb. 19 are possible only if open 
positions exist. Many players (probably more than half) 
will be fully or partly comped into the tournament.
Walk-ins should be available since their tournamnts are 
rarely (if ever) full.

Their last Blackjack Tournament (Sept., 2009) was held in 
the poker room on level 1 so that is were it probably will 
be held this time.

Re-buys only available during Round 1 and are based on 
seat availability.

Friday - Feb. 18: Pre-Registration in Council Bluffs A & B
6:00pm - 9:00pm

Saturday - Feb. 19:
Eight sessions for Round 1 will be played starting at 2PM 
and then every hour on the hour. 7 players per table with 
3 advancing per table.

Sunday - Feb. 20:
Round 2, 12:00pm
Round 3, Time unknown
Semi-Final, Time unknown. Reading the literature "between 
the lines", the semi-finals may be "one-on-one" but not 
sure. 
Final Table, Time unknown 
Awards Ceremony: Immediately after Final table - could be 
as late as 7:00pm

In the Past:
6 deck shoe.
15 hands per round.
BJ pays 2:1
Minimum bet is $25 or $50
Max bet - none. Go "All In" at any time or all the time.
No chip counts by the casino.
Play on Poker Tables so counting chips could be tough.

Wildcards are a definite possibility for Rounds 2, 3 and 
the Semi-Finals. Most likely, no wildcard for the Final 
Table.).
