Keep up with all the month's special tournaments by CLICKING HERE! *** Laddering *** Ever wonder what laddering is and how you should do it? It's really very simple ... you just ask another Ginner to play you outside of a tournament. How do you do this? Go to one of our 2 rooms -- Fast Play Only Gin Nation Ask if any Ginner would like to ladder. Example: "Hey Ginners! Anyone wanna ladder before next tourney?" Decide on a game, then set the table and play to 100. Once the match is over, the LOSER should report the loss. The non-winner should go to the Ginners main page, scroll just past the calendar, and find the "Report Loss" box. Fill in your name and password and your opponent's name. Then click on the "Submit Loss" button. REPORT LOSS HERE Remember you will need to know your opponent's exact league name which should be the same as his / her Pogo name. If you have any questions or problems about reporting a match or if a match was not reported ... contact FLUTTERBRATTY *** Donations *** We try and offer several Special Tourneys and/or Monthly Contests here at Ginners. We often gift extra LadderBux and sometimes other prizes. If you would like to help...please email Minibug1999r Whether it's a few LadderBux or something else...it will be appreciated!! Here are a few of the prizes that people have donated: Ladderbuxx, gift cards, Pogo badge books, MyLeague premium memberships, Club Pogo memberships, email stationery, avatars for IM, personalized sigtags, and online gift certificates *** New Members *** Know somebody that loves Gin?

Once your friend joins and plays in a tourney, Tuffy46 will send you 100 buxx! *** Manners *** Please respect your fellow roomies. Greeting your opponent and wishing him/her good luck - ("GM" "Hi" "GL") or congratulating a nice hand ("VN" "GH") or the win ("GG ... GLNR") is such a pleasure to see and hear. Let's just be kind!
