1. Any id used by a member, that is deemed to be to offensive for the league, will be asked to change it or will be boxed until it is changed
2. Any use of Foul Language, any Fighting, or Accusations will NOT be tolerated under any circumstances.  This will result in instant boxing. The
admins will then investigate further and if they deem further punishment is needed or not, then they will make the decision.
3. Any members found to be harassing, threatening or using pronfanity toward any member of staff, will be boxed IMMEDIATELY. Further
investigations will follow and any further punishments will be dealt with by admin. The ultimate result could be your removal from this league.
4. Only 1 id will be permitted per member. This is changeable if problems occur.
5. Games will be played and closed in a timely manner, the only exception being the fault of Yahoo. Any matches that are lost because of this will
be rescheduled by the TD in charge of the tournament.
6. Slow play will NOT be tolerated in Kanastajokers league. Most full games should last no longer than 45 minutes. Time is set at the end of posting
of rounds so all tables will have the same amount of time with the exception of tables missing a player and having a timer set. These table will get
the extra minutes to finish. This will be a max of 5 minutes for doubles tables and a max of 10 min for singles tables. If a player goes brb in a
doubles game and is gone long enough for the wait message to come up that player will be booted from table and the td or a player will sit and
continue play. If the game is in the last hand at the end of 45 minutes it will be allowed to finish quickly.

At the end of 45 minutes if the game is not finished (at least in final hand) the td will determines who wins either by high score or who was holding
up the game. If the td determines that one player or team was deliberately holding up the game they will give the game win to the other team
regardless of score.

It will be important for the td to be called to the table if you feel slow play is happening so that they know who is holding up the game. If the td was
not called before the 45 min time they will have no choice than to decide the game by highest score.

The only exceptions to this rule will be a back and forth game where no one is playing slow but due to the nature of the game it is back and forth
making what we would all term a "REALLY GOOD GAME" and TD's who are hosting will not be considered playing slow when taking care of their
duties in the lobby.
7. BRB's (Be Right Back) should be no longer than 3 minutes max. No more than 2 BRB's per player will be allowed in any game.
After 3 minutes a timer will be set and stopped upon the players return to play and that time will be subtracted from the 10 minutes they are
allowed away from the table.
8. RULES FOR SINGLES
a. If a player is not in the lobby when a game begins or goes MIA during the game the TD will set a timer and the player has 10 minutes to arrive. 
If they do not arrive in 10 minutes they forfeit the game and their opponent advances.  If the player is missing at the beginning of the game the 10
minute timer will be set from the posted game start time in the lobby. 
b. When a player is booted from the table the td will start the timer.  When the player returns the td will stop the timer and announce how many
minutes are gone.  Each player has a maximum of 10 minutes away from the game.
9. RULES FOR DOUBLES
a. If, at the beginning of the game, a player is MIA, the TD will give that player 5 minutes to get back to the table before getting a SUB. If a player
sits in for doubles at the BEGINNING OF THE GAME for a MIA player after the 5 minute timer is up, the player who is subbing for the MIA player 
will be allowed to finish that round unless they want to relinquish their seat to the original MIA player.  If the player is missing at the beginning of
the game the 5 minute timer will be set from the posted game start time in the lobby.
b. During the game if a player goes MIA a sub will be gotten right away. There will be NO waiting period if the player goes MIA during the game. 
lf the MIA player returns then the SUB will be required to stand and allow the ORIGINAL DOUBLES PLAYER to sit and continue with their game. 
When the player returns the td will stop the timer and announce how many minutes has been used.
10. When a TD is called to the table because of a DQ, the game will be cancelled, unless the 3800 rule is brought into force.(Rule 11).  If you DQ
but ya OPPS have a score higher than 3800, they can choose to continue playing, they continue at their own risk, because if they lose the result
will stand.
11. 3800 RULE
3800 Point Rule - In both single and doubles games with either a dq or missing player(s), subs will finish the game out if present player (s) score
is 3800 or more. All games with a score less than 3800 will be cancelled. (Doubles games that result in BOTH players MIA and timed out will
require TWO subs.) In the case of a dq the non dqing player/team must have the high score over 3800 to continue. Missing player(s) will be
timed out before sub finishes game.
12. NO CHEATING will be tolerated. If it is proven that anyone has cheated then then will be boxed until admin decide what action to take. 13. If
more than one member lives in the same household and want to play in the same doubles tourney (except tag team doubles) only one may sign
up on Auto.13. If more than one member lives in the same household and want to play in the same doubles tourney (except tag team doubles)

you will have to STAND and FORFEIT the game.

15. In KanastaJokers  league you will  be allowed to play in 3 GAMES AS LONG AS AT LEAST 1 OF THE 3 IS A DOUBLES . If the hosting td
sees that you are in more than 3 GAMES at a time they CAN and WILL remove you from their tournament.  If all 4 tourney games are started
before the td notices you are in 4 you will have to forfeit the win in the last league game you entered. If the 4th game is a doubles then a sub will
be found and if after the first round you are no longer in 3 other games and your team wins the 4th game you may continue play.
16. Initial Meld Rule - You must play the required cards for that hand/game in the first meld that hits the table.
17. Please do not go to tables.  If you have a question about a game in progress ask the TD to check for you.
18.  Once pairings have been posted in lobby the person setting table has 3 minutes to set table.  If they do not set the table within 3 minutes then
the opponent may set the table and choose seats.  If the player still does not come to table the 10 minute timer will be set from time of post.
19. All games will be played on new tables.  We do not keep tables and play the next round on them.
20. In all Auto Win games when you make the red play must stop.  If you discard it is like saying you do not want the auto win.
