LEAGUE RULES

• MOST IMPORTANT RULE IS TO BE RESPECTFUL TOWARDS THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS AND THE PLAYERS IN THE ROOM



• BASIC SPORTSMANSHIP IS REQUIRED, GL AT START OF GAME, GG AT END OF GAME. (OR SOMETHING SIMILAR)



• DUE TO TEAM TABLE GLITCHES, FINALISTS OF ONLY THE 1v1 TOURS IN PROGRESS HAVE THE OPTION OF JOINING THE NEXT TOUR, BUT MUST KEEP UP WITH BOTH GAMES. IF IT IS CONFIRMED THAT YOU ARE PLAYING ELSEWHERE WHILE AT A TABLE IN AOF, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.



• ANY FORFEITS (TO JOIN THE NEXT TOURNAMENT) MUST OCCUR NO LATER THAN 5 MINS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED START TIME OF THE NEXT TOURNAMENT


• FIRST PERSON LISTED (TOP PLAYER IN BRACKET) HAS TABLE CHOICE AND SEAT CHOICE.


• PLEASE DON'T LEAVE THE TABLE UNTIL YOU SEE THE END SCORE COME UP THAT INFORMS WHO THE WINNER WAS (AS THIS SHOWS IN LOBBY TO THE TD THAT THE GAME WAS INCOMPLETE AND YOU WILL BE ASKED TO GO BACK AND FINISH THE GAME PROPERLY)




• CHECK THE TABLE SETTINGS BEFORE YOU START YOUR GAME. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BOTH PLAYERS TO VERIFY BEFORE BEGINNING. IF A PERSON GETS DISQUALIFIED AND ITS FOUND THAT THE TABLE WAS SET WRONG, THAT HAND MAY BE REPLAYED. IT WILL BE UP TO THE HOSTING TD TO DECIDE, DEPENDING ON GAME TYPE. IF YOU COMPLETE THE GAME BY REACHING THE FINAL SCORE AND YOU NOTICE WRONG TABLE, THE GAME WILL NOT BE REPLAYED.



• IF YOUR OPPONENT IS PLAYING SLOW OR IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY OTHER PROBLEMS AT THE TABLE PLEASE MESSAGE THE TD TO COME TO YOUR TABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. IF YOU ARE FOUND TO BE CHATTING A LOT IN THE LOBBY AND SLOWING DOWN YOUR GAME YOU WILL BE ASKED TO STOP CHATTING WHILE PLAYING.



• YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO JOIN A TABLE TO WATCH OR CHECK THE SCORE ON ANOTHER PERSONS GAME. THE SCORE CAN BE SEEN BY HOVERING YOUR MOUSE OVER ANY TABLE.



• MISSING AND BOOTED PLAYERS HAVE 5 MINS TOTAL PER ROUND. SUBSTITUTE PLAYERS ARE ONLY USED DURING TEAM TOURNEYS, AS WE FEEL THAT IT WOULD NOT BE FAIR TO YOUR PARTNER TO TIME THE WHOLE TEAM OUT IF YOU ARE BOOTED/MIA.



• IN TEAMS, ONCE A PAIRING IS CALLED IF A PLAYER IS ABSENT, THEY WILL BE GIVEN 5 MINUTES THEN A SUB WILL BE FOUND. IF THE ORIGINAL PLAYER IS NOT BACK WITHIN 20 MINUTES OF THE TIMER BEING STARTED, THEN THE SUB WILL BECOME PERMANENT.
  
  IN THE EVENT OF A TEAM ALREADY USING A SUB, AND THE OTHER PLAYER IS MIA, THEN THEY WILL HAVE 5 MINUTES TO RETURN, AFTER THAT TIME THE TEAM WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.



• IN A TEAMS TOUR, NO NEW TEAMS WILL BE ALLOWED WITHIN 5 MINS OF THE START TIME (ONLY AUTOS).



• IN A 2V2, AT THE START TIME IF THE AUTOS ARE UNEVEN THE TD WILL REMOVE THE LAST AUTO PLAYER THAT JOINED.
  (THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THEMED/SPECIAL TEAM TOURS)



• TIMERS WILL NOT BE USED UNTIL 1 MIN AFTER THE PAIRINGS ARE GIVEN. THIS ALLOWS THE PLAYER TO FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE PLAYING AND TO CREATE THEIR TABLE.



• WE TRY TO START OUR TOURNAMENTS ON TIME, HOWEVER IF A PLAYER IS HAVING DIFFICULTY IN SIGNING UP, WE WILL WAIT A FEW MINS. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE COMMENTS IN THE LOBBY THAT MAKES THAT PERSON FEEL UNWELCOME.



• SOME GAMES WILL TAKE LONGER THAN OTHERS, EVERYONE PLAYS THEIR OWN WAY. SOME MAY KNOCK FOR A FEW POINTS WHILE OTHERS HOLD OUT FOR THE GIN BONUS



• MOST TOURNAMENTS WILL NOT BE FINISHED WITHIN 30 MINS SO PLEASE DO NOT JOIN ONE AT 2 PM AND EXPECT IT TO BE COMPLETED IN TIME FOR YOU TO PLAY THE 2:30 PM TOURNAMENT. IF YOU WISH TO PLAY IN THE NEXT TOURNAMENT BUT ARE STILL IN A CURRENT TOUR, THEN YOU MUST FORFEIT WITHIN 5 MINS OF THE NEW ONE STARTING



• IF YOU NEED LADDERBUX TO JOIN A TOURNAMENT PLEASE ASK IN LOBBY. IF THE TD IS UNABLE TO GIFT (NEED TO BE PREMIUM) THEY WILL ASSIST YOU IN FINDING SOMEONE THAT CAN GIFT YOU. (PLEASE DONT ASK FOR BUX TO JOIN THE HIGH ROLLER TOURNAMENTS - 1000 BUX ENTRY, WE ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO GIFT SO MUCH PER WEEK)



• LEAGUE GAMES: YOU MAY PLAY ANY TYPE OF GAME AS LONG AS THE POINTS ARE 125 OR MORE. IF YOUR OPPONENT DOES NOT AGREE, THEN YOU MUST PLAY 125 REG GIN AS A DEFAULT GAME. REPORT YOUR LOSS USING THE REPORT LOSS LINK LOCATED UNDER STANDINGS TAB.
