Per pearle6 (TD) suggestion, we have created an account called KATRINA_RELIEF. GC has deposited $100 in the account. We will use this account to collect donations for Katrina relief fund. All money accumulated in this account will be send to Red Cross in October, 2005.
We will also announce a special benefit tourney with all proceeeds to go to KATRINA_RELIEF.
Stay tuned...

Hey people,
I am not American and I am not one who usually donates to causes. But, this is a horrible tradegy! You would not wish this on anyone, I hope.
But this time, I am donating. Why? Because America has been there, offering support to Britain, when and where we have needed it. They are always there to help other countries, be it liberating them from tyranny or helping them recover from disasters!
All those with tickets can certainly donate! Help those that need your help now!
I am not a religious person, but God bless all those affected by this tradegy and deliver them from suffering.
God bless America.

Get ready -- the KATRINA_RELIEF tourneys are coming to your neighborhood. Any winners are not required to donate any and/or all of their winnings. I am doing the tourneys as my part of the donation. During the month of September any tourneys I host and money I earn from hosting will go directly to the Katrina account. If you should like to donate some of your winnings, you are more than welcome to do so -- please see Webbies post on how you can do that. All I ask is that as many of you will sign up for these tourneys because the more who sign up the more I am able to donate. And last but not least, please be patient with me as I'm not used to doing tourneys in Pool so I ask for your patience. Thanks and I look forward to seeing a lot of you soon.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
