LEAGUE RULES ~*~*~*~ Good Sportsmanship ~*~*~*~ "Sportsmanship is not just about being nice. It is much more important than that. It's about realizing that you could not compete without an opponent and that he/she has the same goal(s) as you." ... Victory is in the quality of competition, not the final score so please remember to say GL, GH & GG to your opp(s) and it's all about having FUN Respect is an important issue for all of us here. Our staff volunteers a lot of their time to make this a great place to play. Please treat them with the respect they deserve at ALL TIMES!!! Be respectful of the lobby and your fellow members. While cursing is allowed, there are a few offensive words that will NOT be allowed. The (f-word & c-word) in any form including shorthand that means the same. A warning is not compulsory, it is Admin discretion to issue a warning or not depending on circumstances and severity. Members may be boxed without warning, depending on the severity of the infraction. Anyone found to be changing names in order to come to the lobby and cause a disturbance will be boxed the same as if in league name. It is the person, not the id that is a member. If a member withdraws to violate a league rule(s) and rejoins the league, they will be boxed upon rejoining. We do ask that you please use discretion as we are all different. If you are offended by the cursing, we strongly encourage you to use the profanity filter provided by Yahoo. You are not allowed to play Ladder matches againest people who live in the same household as you. You can play friends and relatives who do not live with you, but you should limit league games againest them to one or two a week. You are not allowed to partner with people who live in the same household as you. This includes anyone who plays from the same physical location, whether or not they actually reside there unless it is a Cheaters Doubles or Tag Team Tourney. We never allow Force Forfeiting. If you FF on yourself and it's not the cause of Yahoo, you will receive a warning the first time, second time is 3 days in the box. Subsequent offenses will result in an extra 2 days boxing per offense. If you intentionally FF againest your opponent causing them to loose their Yahoo rating and it's not the cause of Yahoo, you will get 3 days in the box the first time, 7 days for the second time and 10 days in the box for the third time. A forth time will result in you being asked to leave the league or be kicked/banned. People play in a league to have fun and not to be ff'd on. We do not want Cheating to become a major issue. Cheating will not be tolerated. If you are caught cheating, you will be boxed 7 days for the first offense, 30 days for the 2nd, and the 3rd offense will result in a kick and ban from the league. Table talk IS cheating. Table talk is defined as anything said to your partner via tourney table, im's, phone etc. that gives your team an advantage in the game. Substitutes for Multi Player games: If you are in a multiplayer game and your partner goes MIA before the game has started they have 5 minutes to return, after 5 minutes a substitute will be asked for in the lobby by the TD. There must be one original player, no 2 subs allowed. If a game was started by a sub, the sub finishes the game they started. If a sub is requested after game started and they original player returns, then the host of the table boots the sub from the table. Rule of thumb: Who evers yahoo rating is being played has the right to the seat till game over. A new table must be made for each round (when available). You are not permitted to keep the same table and seat for an entire tournament. If a member withdraws to avoid boxing and rejoins the league they will be boxed for the days that they should have been boxed for as well as have added days for withdrawing to avoid boxing, No exceptions. We will no longer be expanding 4 INs. The purpose of a 4 IN is a quick tourney for those that may have only a certain amount of time to play. Our staff will gladly make another 4 IN or ALL IN of the same game if the demand is there. We are all here for 1 reason. To play cards, meet new friends, and have LOTS of fun. Let’s always remember to have fun. The things that harm leagues can be kept in IM’s. Let’s reserve the lobby for nothing but fun and games. The ONLY way to make it the best place it can be is to always make sure that you’re having fun, enjoying your time, and making friends. We hope to see your stay here a very, very long one. Have fun and Good Luck!!!
