Bounty Stars of Poker FAQ’s

Will I be able to bring a guest with me to watch?
Yes, there is room for everyone to bring one guest. I'm afraid that there isn't space to accomodate more than that.
Any hotel accommodation booked in your name will be booked as a twin.
Am I allowed to wear sunglasses and hat?
We don't mind the wearing of sunglasses or hats (without logos) but ipods and other music devices are strictly forbidden.
Am I allowed to wear logos?
No, I'm afraid we've taken the policy of not allowing any logos of any sort by any of the competitors unless it is on a PokerStars sponsored professional player.
What should I wear?
There's no strict dress code but we do ask that you try and dress relatively smartly. No ripped jeans, no trainers. We would prefer shirts rather than T-shirts etc
