SAFETY RULES In an effort of maintaining safety, and in the interest of keeping poker runs safe for everyone, the rules have been established by our safety committee. Failure to comply with our rules will result in disqualification from the poker run. A Poker Run is not a race. At no time during a poker run will racing occur between/among participants. Please abide by all speed limits. Absolutely no alcohol consumed by anyone on board or visible on board, during the day of the event until the boat is tied up for the evening following the event. Every boat must comply with current USCG/ CCG construction and safety requirements and carry the required on-board safety equipment.

6 USCG/ CCG approved life vests must be worn by everyone on board at all times when the boat is in motion during the event. Ignition safety tethers must be in working condition and suitably attached while the boat is in motion. Always respect designated speed limits and sound restriction laws. Be aware of all diver sites and watch for dive buoys. The law enforcement will use their lights only when escorting the poker run fleet. Under other circumstances, boaters will need to stop and report to them. PRA recommends and encourages poker runners to have a functioning radio communication system on board in order to be reached at all times. Rules will be reviewed at the Driver s Safety Meeting Saturday morning. A more complete list of rules is available in the APRA Official Rule Book that is available at registration.
