How NOT To Name A Poker League...

Early on, I thought the league name made sense. Coming from the ashes of the old MD Poker web site, it seemed natural to continue with the MD theme with the poker league. So the MD DonkFest Poker League was born...

How naive, in the modern Internet age. Since this first season of the league started a couple of months ago, we have had players from a number of states, including a rowdy contingent from the Rochester Poker Tour site that Merk has landed at. Indeed, we have had visitors from quite a few states (and DC):

California
Colorado
Connecticut
District of Columbia
Florida
Georgia
Illinois
Indiana
Kansas
Louisiana
Maryland
Michigan
Missouri
New York
North Carolina
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Texas
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia

But that only covers the U. S. of A. From the far-flung reaches of the globe we have had many curious onlookers:

Rio De Janiero, Brazil
New Zealand
Chilliwack, British Columbia
Sydney, New South Wales
Montevideo, Uraguay
Douglas, South Lanarkshire
London, England
Sheffield, UK
MedellĂ­n, Antioquia
Uppsala, Uppsala Lan (Sweden)
Budapest
Opava, Moravskoslezsky Kraj
Renningen, Baden-Worttemberg
Barnsley

What they are looking for, I don't have a clue. But if they pay their league fees they can come from Mars... :-)
