Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker Tournament!
We've got a new variant of Chinese Poker to play through FTR's OFC lobby. It's called Pineapple OFC and it plays faster and scores more royalties than regular OFC.
Here's how it works:
Each player is dealt and plays their first 5 cards, just like regular OFC.
In Pineapple, on the draw, each player draws 3 cards, then plays only 2 of those cards and discards 1.
If you're unfamiliar, I recommend you try out the game by practicing against FTR's computer player, WAZZUP, just to get a feel for the game.

- All matches will be heads up.
- You will have a 3:30 chess-clock timer for each round.

In the event of scheduling conflicts, please PM me or post here and let me know the situation and we can try to work something out.
Note: This tournament will happen during the week of Christmas, so I fully expect to run into some scheduling problems. As long as you give me notice of an expected absence from the event, I will extend the time to complete. I am really hoping to have this even wrapped up by the new year.
