Welcome to Lucky's Haven TD Training Center
Everything you need to know about hosting but were afraid to ask!
Lucky’s Haven - TD Responsibilities
Hosting Minimums
TD - 2 tours per week
HTD - 5 tours per week
Admin - 5 or more tours per week
- You must be able to set your minimum number of tourneys each week including training period, unless you want to do more. It's up to you on how slow or fast you want to get thru it.
- The first 10 tourneys, are considered your training period and you cannot host a tourney with out your trainer during this period. You need to have your trainer, an HTD or an Admin with you for the first 10 tourneys. If none of these staff members are available, you cannot host your tour. During this 10 tourney training period, you need to be trained on:
- token count game (hogs)
- leader board game (lottso)
- table game (canasta)
- You must have yahoo instant messenger (msn can be added to your yahoo) up and running when you host.
When sending out invites for your tourney, please send your first message no later than 30 minutes prior to tourney start time. You may send a second message about 15 minutes before it starts. Always put in your spam the league name (Lucky’s Haven), the game, what room the game is in and the jump #. Since Yahoo has been blocking mass messages with link in them please put “if you need link just ask” in your message in place of the link. You find our backdoor links (http://users.igl.net/luckyhaven/backdoors.html). This makes it easier for the members to register for the tour.
**if not enough players 5 mins before your tour starts you may send a third message. Please include any extra bux you will give if you can get your tour going**
Many members keep their yahoo messenger on invisible or away, so even if it shows members offline include them. To send a group link to the entire group on your yahoo messenger: right-click on the Lucky’s Haven group, a message window will open up and you can type in your message, then simply click the send button.
- Please ensure that you are in the tourney room at least 30 minutes prior to the start of your tourney. Don’t forget to put on your host badge and ensure that you have your caps on. Ask the players if they need the rules and if so hand type or use macro to “run” the rules in the lobby. If you have late comers please ask them to refer to the tourney registration page for the rules.
- If your tour has not started by 15 mins past the time your tour was to start, then you must move it to a later time. Starting tours late makes your tour overlap with the next tour and causes that tour to start late also and so on.
- You may start advertising for others to join our league once you are in the room. You may write your own advertisement or ask another host/admin to share one with you. We need to advertise at least twice per tour so that we can recruit new players and grow our family.
