age limit

Just wondering, why is the minimum age to be your protege 19 years old? 18 year olds can play poker just as legally as 19 year olds, so why the extra year?

I know the answer. Because he's Canadian. Everything is 19 and up to our north.

The final event of the Protege will take place in a casino and the minimum age of entry for the possible casinos is 19.

I thought that info has already been released (I won't mention the casino) but maybe the details haven't been fully worked out yet.

What about a maximum age for the protege? I have a hard time imagining me, at 44, the Boy Wonder protege of Kid Poker lol. It'd be fun, but I couldn't keep up with the parties, I don't think, unless I took up some of Stu Ungar's "hobbies".Not that I think I'm going to get anywhere, in particular, but maybe I'll give it a shot...

Apparently it will happen at the River Rock Casino in Vancouver, BC. The gambling age is 19 in BC.It's too bad it wont happen in Quebec or Alberta, where the age is 18 .

Another question about the age, it says that the winner will get entries into 4 $10k buy-in tournaments, but aren't almost all MTT's with this buy-in 21+? Would a 19 year old winner just not get these?

Since the final table will be played in late April if you turn 19 in June you won't be eligible.

If the age to win the contest is 19, but you cant receive the full prize unless you're 21, will there be some sort of equivalent prize given?Also, there are a few "major" tournaments that are 18+ such as the PCA, the Aruba tourney, probably a couple others outside the US.

If you're under 21 I would make the assumption that if I win the Protege contest I won't be getting the buy in to any $10K tournaments. That doesn't mean you won't get any where an under 21 can play and it doesn't mean there might not be some other prizes you'll get in place of the tourney buy ins but there is no guarantee.
