Tournament Rules Links From Around the World

[WSOPMcGee]

Thought I'd put together a list of links pertaining to tournament rules from around the world. There always seem to be questions as to what rule should apply to which situation and what would the ruling be if you were the TD. Being that the TDA is becoming a worldwide body and many users of the forum are of different linguistic backgrounds, I thought this might be helpful. Maybe MikeB will even make it a sticky

I have been looking for the old Hilton Book of Poker Rules.  Would anyone know where I can find a copy or a link online?

Thanks

Using Google I found several links to the Hilton Poker Book or Hilton Poker Rules or Las Vegas Hilton Poker ....  Unfortunately, each and every one that I tried was no longer active.  Since Bob Ciaffone is generally regarded as the author of the Las Vegas Poker Rule Book, perhaps he has some ideas.  You can try his website at:  "http://www.pokercoach.us/"

Thanks so much for your help. I may have located an old copy I made for a friend a few years ago. I will try to have it scanned and suited for the net. I'll keep you posted.

Any luck?

I have a friend who has a copy of it, but it's buried in storage.

[fgmyers]

Yes. I found a good copy but loaned it to my boss at work and he was just fired recently. I am hoping to ask him if he took it with him or left it somewhere in our office.

Keep you posted.
