This seems to be a list, why should it be a Good Article instead of a Featured List?--WillC 05:42, 23 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm doing this at 4 am, so the first few comments may make no sense considering I'm bored, tired, and do not feel like heading to bed just yet.--WillC 08:16, 25 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Lead

"The Casino Employees Championship is one of only three closed tournaments at the World Series of Poker." If the WSOP is a tournament, how can this be a tournament as well? Maybe it would be better to have it as "The Casino Employees Championship is one of only three closed tournaments at the World Series of Poker gathering."
"While most of the events are open to the general public, participants in the Ladies Championship, Seniors Championship, the Casino Employees Championship must meet certain eligibility requirements." → "While most of the events are open to the general public, participants in the Ladies Championship, Seniors Championship, and the Casino Employees Championship must meet certain eligibility requirements."
Lead seems a little small. Is this the standard for all or most articles of this kind?--WillC 08:16, 25 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
