Maricopan Poker Tournament

Trophy given out at C-3PO sponsored events, such as this one.

The Maricopan Poker Tournament is an annual poker tournament created by citizen Munditenens Tresplet as a way to increase the provincial activity in what was the slightly inactive province of Maricopa in late July of 2012. The Tournament takes place on BluffAve.com, and it had 3 players for its inaugural game. The tournament has been folded into the newly created Colossal Provincial Poker Playing Organisation (C-3PO for short).

First Annual Maricopan Poker Tournament Results

This tournament is to be held on August 11th, 2012. The First Place Prizes include bragging rights, a "gold" trophy of C-3PO representing the hosting organisation, and a the right to throw a pecan pie in the face of Maricopa's Cunstaval, Baron Hooligan. The Second Place prize is a picture of the First Place trophy, which was just out of their reach. (Six people signed up; only 3 showed up.)
