1.
|
|
We do not allow any sexually explicit language. Even after midnight, Case's time, when there are only adults playing, and occasional "adult issues" come up, no foul or obscene language may be used. This is a league for all ages of players, and appropriate "clean" language is expected at all times. |
| |
|
|
|
2.
|
|
We do not allow rude talk, which means: any arguing in the lobby, no upsetting other people in the lobby (members or non-members), any attacking or upsetting Tds (tournament directors). If there is a dispute or problem, please realize that the host will make the best decision he/she can at the time, trying to be fair to all. The Tds here are all volunteers of different experience levels who host tourneys, giving up their own free time to allow other members to play. |
| |
|
|
|
3.
|
|
We ask that all conflict between players be taken outside of the public lobby. Please take the issue to a table or instant messenger and discuss it with the tour director. If necessary for you to feel the issue is adequately addressed, please request a Head Td. (We have HTds and Administrators on call 24 hours a day). If no satisfactory resolution can be obtained, then the director's call will stand and play will continue. Please refer to the Staff IM page and the league's main page for email and IM addresses, we are here to help. |

ALL games are played with a 60 second timer. If a player gets frozen or booted from the table or room, they are put on 10 minute timer instead (5 minutes if playing in another game). The timer is not off until they are actually playing at the assigned table. Extensions do not count against a player if they are asking game related questions of the host or waiting on the host. Players are allowed 2 extensions on timers of either type; on the 3rd extension/timer the player will be disqualified. Please do not take "timing out" or "dqing" (disqualifying) personally. It happens to us all. We follow guidelines to ensure that the tournament runs as smoothly as possible and is fair to waiting players as well. |

|
We do not play rated games. In this league, our games are
all about having fun and we work to maintain that fun- loving
attitude. |
| |
|
|
|
6.
|
|
Both players are responsible for checking that the table
is set correctly. If a table is set incorrectly, the host
will
ask for it to be reset. At this time scores are not kept and the game
starts over. The Rules Page covers the proper way to set a table. The only
time a score is carried over is when a Pogo glitch is the change. Writing
down scores after each hand is helpful when Pogo glitches occur. |
| |

|
|
7.
|
|
When hosts assign pairings they will assign tables as well. The host will
say something similar to Player1 v Player 2 Table 6 -- That means the game
is to be played on table 6 and Player 1 is to set. The player's name that
appears first in the pairing is the one who sets the table |

|
|
When you jump a tour please be in the lobby at the start time. Also, please watch the lobby for instructions from your host for game rules, pairings, etc.... If you are not in the room or not responding to the host you will be placed on a 10 minute timer (only 5 minutes if in another game). It is the player's responsibility to be ready to play on time. |
| |
|
|
|
9.
|
|
All games must be played until the final score is totaled and winner is determined. Leaving a game before the game is over results in a forfeit. Leaving games before the final score is determined will result in "being boxed" after 3 such forfeits. We expect good sportsmanship between players, win or lose. |

Please feel free to jump as many tournaments as you want. We love having players :-) But if you are still in a previous tour when the next is about to start please remove yourself or ask the host to do it. You may not be in 2 tournaments at the same time. If you are in finals of the previous tour an exception is made and you may jump the next tour. However, if you are still playing when it is your turn you will be placed on 5 minute timer. Purposely "dqing" in the first will result in a "dq"
for the second |

|
|
Only Hosts may watch a game. We do not allow people other than the game host to watch games in progress. Occasionally a HTD or Admin may come to the tables to help settle disputes if the host requests them to intervene. |

|
12.
|
|
During a Doubles Tourney (2v2), if your partner is missing he/she will be placed on a 10 minute timer. During that time you and the host may look for
someone to substitute for them. When a sub is playing, the timer will be suspended. Subs may not be a playing in another tour at the same time. Subs are not allowed if your partner is in the room or in another game. |
| |

If you are "boxed" for any reason you may not compete in any tours for the duration of the boxing. If you are put in 2 times, on the 3rd "boxing" offense, you will be removed from the league. |

If the HA gets 3 or more suspects saying they believe you are cheating
with instances to prove it you will be banned from the league |

Your ladder name and your pogo name must match. If the two names are not the same and you join a tour the host will remove you form the tour till you correct your names. |
