Have you considered the length of competitions at the higher level of play? Professional poker players will play for 15-20 hour periods at a time, only getting up from the table to go to the bathroom a few times and once for dinner. The World Series of Poker (kind of like the Superbowl of poker) is a week long event where players play for upwards of 15+ hours every day for a week straight.
It's just a thought...I guess we'll never come to a solid conclusion
Now what about cheer-leading everyone?! Lol
