1. All league games are REQUIRED to be played on RATED TABLES (unless specifically instructed otherwise by a Tournament Director during a tournament) so we can verify actual play.....any match reported and not found on yahoo profiles will be nullified and voided and the players ranks will be adjusted lower (possibly as far as the bottom of the ladder if the situation is extreme.)
2. Players in this league move up 25% to the player they defeat on the ladder. Please also note that players will drop in rank after 3 day of non play.
3. Watching a Tourney Match If you want to watch a tourney match between league players, you must ask at the table if you can watch the game, and both (or all) of the league players playing at that moment must agree to you being at the table. If one or more league player says no, you must leave the table without causing any disruption to the league players. If a league player joins your table while you are playing your tourney match and you do not want any other league members at the table, please ask that person politely to leave the table. If the league member does not leave, invite the TD in charge of the tourney to the table.
4. Making Tables and Inviting When a round is called, the person the TD indicates (Usually the person on the left or top in the Standings) will make the table and invite any partners and opponents within 1 minutes of the round being called. If the table is not made and invites do not occur within 1 minute, the opponent or partner will make the table and invite.
5. If a player is present in the lobby and has good ping, they must respond to invites within 5 minutes or risk DQ (Disqualification) or other sanction.
6. If a player has been yahooed or is frozen or otherwise disabled due to technical circumstances beyond their control, they have 10 minutes to respond or risk DQ (Disqualification) - The standard "10 minute Boot Timer Rule" in general use by many/most leagues.
7. At no time shall any player knowingly delay a round from starting or knowingly delay play during a tournament match.
8. If you need a short break during a game, please let your opponent/all players know, and please only do this when absolutely necessary. This applies only to rare, necessary breaks.
9.Please play at a steady pace at all times. Excepting those rare unavoidable breaks, play should be smooth and rapid. Slow play and/or frequent delays will bring warnings and/or penalties as appropriate.
10. Resolving Disputes - THE TD HAS FINAL SAY IN ALL DISPUTES. <--- This is both a League Rule and a Cases Myleague Regulation. If you are having a problem in a tournament, Please notify the TD in -private- and/or invite TD to table. If the TD is not able to resolve the problem to your satisfaction, please contact a member of the Admin Team via private room message, IM or Email, and the matter will be resolved.
