 * Strong delete inside joke among people with way too much time on their hands. Try Geocities next time, kids. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:22, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete because obvious hoaxes are vandalism. This is a fairly well constructed hoax.  It begins with the plausible idea that there might be a world championship of blackjack players; in insular dialects, the game is apparently called "pontoon".  It goes on to describe participating in a blackjack tournament over the phone, and suggests a shadowy council able to monitor every game.  At this point it starts to become obvious that your leg is being pulled. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:42, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy per Smerdis. Drmies (talk) 17:21, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
