Prix d’Elégance

[thetank]

Inspired by Kev's talk of toilets with deoderizing facilities, I thought I might bring this up.

A chess tournament in Paris offered a Prix d’Elégance, a prize for the best dressed competitor.

The report on chessbase news states that...

"I could notice with pleasure that ladies and men generally made effort to come to the playing boards in very presentable outfits"



Do you think this sort of idea would have any merit in a poker tournament, or would it not work outside Frenchieland?

LOL is this just a roundabout way of saying you have had the cream suit dry cleaned and will be wearing it with a purple tie at the bash ?

Sigh, shouldn't have posted this with a few dodgy sartorial desicions in my past. To be fair, lots of other poker players have no dress sense.

It's more general scruffiness that this sort of thing would be aiming to combat. Getting a critical mass of people to turn up wearing something that has at least been washed.

why would anybody bother entering a contest that paul parker is going to win every time?

True, you'd need a second place prize too

yeah, inspired by the boylesports IPO in dublin, and their awarding of extra chips for registering online, you could give extra chips based on sartorial elegance

tie  - 1000 chips
suit - 5000 chips
polished shoes - 2000 chips
cravatte - 10000 chips


always thought there werent enough cravattes in poker...
