24

No... this isn't some kind of Jack Bauer fan post. Although given my overactive imagination, I can well imagine Jack Bauer breaking into the White House Presidential poker game and going, "Mr.President... you HAVE to attend the India Poker Championship! It's less than 24 hours away and the future of the country depends on it... Damnit Chloe!" :D

Just about 24 hours remain till IPC June 2010

OK OK 'nuff with the retarded jokes so early on this fine Wednesday morning and the reason for my super cheery mood (besides the caffeine) is that we leave for Goa in a few hours. The excitement is palpable and the IPC Crew can barely sit still thinking about the start of Day 1 tomorrow evening. Three months since our last event and you'd think we'd be a little dignified about it. But no! We're still as (in fact more) excited as we were before our inaugural event. That's kinda the nice thing about working on an event like the IPC. You put in the hard work promoting it and the results are there to see in a matter of weeks.

Speaking of results, we have a good feeling about the turnout in the June edition. In some ways its almost expected because at the time our March edition had drawn in the biggest number of participants for a tournament event in Goa. The scene has also been gradually growing and here at the IPC we like to think we have done our bit towards that growth. We firmly believe the day is not far off where we will be able to host $1000-2000 events which is par for the course as far as many Asian tournaments are concerned. That will also mean an influx of players coming in to play from the Austral-Asia region which is good news for us personally and overall for Indian tourism.

While I have put up more detailed posts in the past, this time I will try to write more posts (albeit shorter ones) and leave the detailed reports for each event's end-of-day coverage. You can follow us through Facebook and Twitter as well since I will be tweeting live from the venue through each event.

And now I must love you and leave you to go pack me bags. And I end this post the way I started... with a Jack Bauer joke fact:

Jack Bauer got Helen Keller to talk.
