HOST GUIDELINES

(These are Guidelines to help hosts and to prevent complaints)
THANK YOU FOR BEING A HOST ON FRIENDS OF MAMAS ANGELS .



WE KNOW IT IS HARD WHEN WE DON'T GET JUMPERS, BUT WE HAVE TO SHOW THEM WE ARE THERE BY SETTING THE GAMES AND BEING ON TIME, JUMPING YOUR OWN TOURNEY AND PLAYING MAKES THE TOURNEY GO OR BIGGER AND THAT IS WHAT MEMBERS LIKE, SO PLEASE JOIN AS MANY TOURNEYS AS YOU CAN, TO SHOW SUPPORT OF LEAGUE AND OTHER HOSTS. WE TRY NEW GAMES TO SEE WHAT MEMBERS LIKE AND WE WILL TRY IT FOR A WHILE UNTIL WE KNOW IF IS GOING TO BE A GAME WE WANT TO CONTINUE HOSTING.

SETTING TOURNEYS INCLUDES:

We set:
S/E AND ONLY CHARGE 200BUX
SWISS AND TRUE SWISS WE CHARGE 300BUX
D/E WE CHARGE 500 BUX
IF THE HOST IS MAKING A TD DONATION OF 5000BUX YOU MAY CHARGE MORE.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TRY AND ADD CORRECT TAB AND NAME OF ROOM AND THE LINK IF POSSIBLE ON YOUR TOURNEY. THE LINKS ARE LISTED BELOW.

Please set tourneys at least the night before so member see whats on the calendar, and make sure check ins are open! Do not set to far in advance, and make sure you can host the games you set. We know sometimes things come up, so please contact an Htd or admn if you can't host a tourney.

PLEASE DO NOT START OR PARTICIPATE IN DRAMA.
OUR LEAGUE SAYS ALL WELCOME, SO THAT MEANS EVEN PEOPLE NEW TO POGO ARE WELCOME!
EVERY HOST NEEDS TO KNOW HOW TO HELP A NEW PERSON HOW TO JOIN THE LEAGUE.
IT IS EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE BEGINNERS TAB TO EXPLAIN HOW TO JOIN A TOURNAMENT!
SHOW SUPPORT OF LEAGUE BY PLAYING IN TOURNEYS WHEN POSSIBLE. MAKES IT EASY ON HOSTS AND SETS GOOD EXAMPLES FOR OTHERS.
​​ NOT SETTING GAMES AND NOT SHOWING ACTIVE IN OTHER HOST GAMES IS GROUNDS TO BE DEMOTED OR REMOVED AS HOST. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY DEMANDS ON WHEN YOU SET OR WHO SETS WHAT TIMES. YOU SET WHEN YOU WANT AND THE GAME YOU WANT EXCEPT FOR BOWLING AT 8PM AND 830 EVERY NIGHT.
YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE THE LINK OF A GAME AND THE NAME OF THE ROOM FROM THE LIST BELOW!
WE DON'T ALLOW HOSTS TO HOSTS ON OTHER LEAGUES, UNLESS THEY HAVE THE OTHER HA'S PERMISSION AND YOU LET US KNOW. . IF YOU HOST ON ANOTHER LEAGUE YOU NEED TO DO IT ON DIFFERENT DAYS THEN YOU HOST ON THIS LEAGUE.

YOU NEED TO KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR TOURNEY, IF SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE ANSWERING QUESTIONS IT GETS CONFUSING. RULES NEED TO BE ON YOUR PAGE, UNLESS IT IS A SIMPLE GAME THAT NEEDS NO EXPLANATION. THOSE GAMES CAN BE IN THE TITLE.

MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO FIND ENOUGH. HOST SHOULD ADD ALL NEW MEMBERS TO THEIR FRIENDS LIST SO YOU SEE THEM WHEN THEY COME IN LOBBY. YOU CAN SET GAMES IN A 4PLYR ROOM AND PLAY IT AS A 1V1 SWISS, A GOOD NAME FOR IT IS MUSICAL CHAIRS! IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW PLEASE ASK SO YOU CAN LEARN IT. ALWAYS SHOW GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP AND SET EXAMPLES FOR OTHERS, HOSTS NEED TO BE IN ROOM 15-30 MINS BEFORE THEIR TOURNEY SO THEY CAN GREET THEIR JUMPERS, AND WHEN PLAYING IN ANOTHER HOSTS TOURNEY PLEASE BE IN ROOM AT LEAST 5-10 MINS TIL GAME TIME. HOSTS NEED TO SET THE EXAMPLES FOR OTHERS!

​​ YOU CAN CHOSE WHO YOU WANT TO SET, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE PERSON ON THE LEFT OR RIGHT, AND IT IS BEST IF THE HOST DOESN'T SET SO THEY ARE THERE TO CHECK OTHER TABLES.

BADGE IS NOT REQUIRED BY CASES OR LEAGUE, IF WE ARE IN A NEW ROOM THAT HASN'T BEEN MARKED THEN IT BEST TO HAVE IT SO PEOPLE REALIZE WE ARE THE HOST! HOST ALWAYS USE CAPS AND MEMBERS MAY USE THEM IF THEY WANT, BECAUSE SOME HAVE TROUBLE SEEING THE SMALLER LETTERS!

​​ IT TAKES LESS THEN 2 MINS TO SET A TOURNEY, PLEASE DO NOT MOVE TOURNEYS TO 2018, JUST DELETE THEM, UNLESS YOU PLAN ON USING THEM IN THE NEAR FUTURE, REMOVE ALL MEMBERS THAT HAVE JUMPED BEFORE MOVING ANY TOURNEY.

​​ PLEASE START ON TIME IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH, IT'S NOT FAIR TO MAKE MEMBERS WAIT AND IT CAUSES US TO LOSE MEMBERS.
​​ BE NICE TO ALL PEOPLE IN LOBBY, MEMBERS OR NOT! WE NEVER KNOW WHO MIGHT JOIN AND IT MAKES US WELCOME. IF YOU THANK THE MEMBERS FOR BEING PART OF FRIENDS R US AT THE END OF YOUR GAME, IT WILL LET NON-MEMBERS KNOW WHO WE ARE ALSO!

​​ 1. OUR MEMBERS ARE OUR FIRST PRIORTY, SO PLEASE TREAT ALL OF THEM WITH RESPECT. I KNOW SOMETIMES THIS IS DIFFICULT, BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAKES THINGS DIFFICULT FOR THEM!

2. ALL HOSTS ARE EQUAL, SO WE NEED TO LET THEM DO THEIR HOSTING WITHOUT BEING CRITISIZED! IF THERE IS A PROBLEM PLEASE LET THE HA KNOW AND THEY WILL SPEAK TO THE HOST IN QUESTION. SOMETIMES THEIR MAY BE PERSONALITY CONFLICTS, BUT TREAT EACH OTHER THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED, AND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM PUT IT ON IM NOT IN LOBBY. EVEN ON SKYPE OR TRILLIAN PLEASE SPEAK TO EACH OTHER WITH RESPECT. UNLESS YOU ARE ASSIGNED TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THEN HOSTING DO NOT TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO DO IT!

​​ 3. IF POSSIBLE TOURNAMENTS NEED TO BE PRESET BY 10PM THE NIGHT BEFORE SO THAT OTHERS CAN SEE WHAT TIMES NEED TO BE SET. SOMETIMES THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF WORK SCHEDULES, BUT PLEASE TRY. IF PRESET IT HAS BEEN PROVEN YOU WILL GET MORE JUMPERS IF THEY KNOW THE GAMES ARE THERE! MEMBERS NEED TO SEE THE GAMES FOR THE DAY LISTED IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. PLEASE CHECK THE GAME BEFORE AND AFTER THE TIME YOU ARE SETTING SO THAT YOU DON'T SET THE SAME GAMES OVER AND OVER. WE DO SETS OF GAMES IN AN HOUR, SO YOU SET 2,3 OR 4 IN AN HOUR OF THE GAMES THAT ARE FAST. CARD GAMES ARE ONLY ONE AN HOUR.

4. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN TO DO THE 1V1 AS TEAMS AKA R.R. OR MUSICAL CHAIRS. IT IS REALLY EASY ONCE YOU HAVE DONE IT. HOST ALSO NEED TO KNOW HOW TO FIX BLUE LINES.

​​ 5. IF YOU SET A TOURNAMENT AND REALIZE YOU ARE UNABLE TO HOST IT, PLEASE SEE IF ANOTHER HOST CAN HOST IT FOR YOU. ONLY DO THIS IF AN EMERGENCY HAS COME UP OR ARE CALLED AWAY. ASKING SOMEONE TO HOST YOUR TOURNEY BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED THEN YOU SHOULD CONSIDER, HOSTING EARLIER OR RESTING PRIOR TO YOUR TOURNEY. IF YOU ARE GOING TO MOVE THE TOURNAMENT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE AT LEAST 2HRS BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT IS SCHEDULED, DO NOT MOVE A TOURNEY IF YOU HAVE JUMPERS ALREADY!!! DELETE TOURNAMENT IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH AFTER EXPLAINING IN THE LOBBY THERE ISN'T ENOUGH!

​​ 6. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE LOBBY AND BE READY TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND RESPOND TO POSTS. FRIENDLY CHAT IN LOBBY IS FOR AFTER TOURNEY HAS STARTED AND TABLES ARE SET. IF YOU CAN'T HOST AND PLAY AT THE SAME TIME PLEASE DON'T JOIN YOUR OWN TOURNAMENT UNLESS YOU MAKE THE 4TH AND THEN YOU DO JUMP SO MEMBERS CAN PLAY!

7. THERE IS A CLOCK ON THE PAGE SO MEMBERS KNOW WHAT TOURNEY TIME IS. IF NOT IN ROOM GET A SUB IS ALLOWED ONLY IF IT IS A 2V2 GAME. PUT ON A 10MIN TIMER ON ANYONE WHO ISNT IN THE ROOM OR RESPONDING. THIS IS FOR ALL EVEN HOSTS AND ADMN, WHEN THEY ARENT HOSTING THEY ARE JUST CONSIDERED MEMBERS.

​​ 8. GET THE MEMBERS ATTENTION: TELL THEM WHAT TABLES WE WILL BE USING, TELL THEM THE RULES AND START.

​​ 9. DO NOT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TELLING RULES TO SAY HI TO SOMEONE, OR ANSWER A QUESTION. DO THIS AFTER THE RULES.

​​ 10. WHEN A HOST IS PLAYING IN ANOTHER HOSTS TOURNAMENT THEY ARE TO BE TREATED LIKE A MEMBER. PLEASE DO NOT SLOW DOWN THE GAME BY SENDING THEM MESSAGES OR GOING TO THE TABLE WITH QUESTIONS. WHEN THEY ARE HOSTING PLEASE TRY NOT TO SEND THEM MESSAGES. THE CURRENT HOST IS RESPONDSIBLE FOR ALL DECISIONS IN THEIR TOURNEY.

​​ 11. THE HOST NEEDS TO WAIT TIL ALL TABLE ARE SET BEFORE GOING TO THE TABLE IF THEY ARE PLAYING IN THEIR OWN TOURNAMENT. HAVE THE OPPONET SET THE TABLE YOU WILL BE PLAYING. THIS WAY YOU ARE AVAILABLE IF SOMEONE NEEDS HELP.

​​ 12. ALWAYS THANK THE PLAYERS FOR JOINING YOU AND TELL THEM ABOUT THE NEXT TOURNEY TIME!

13. PLEASE KEEP UP TO DATE ON SPECIALS AND CONTESTS, AND PROMPT THEM TO JOIN IN. ​ ​​ ​ THANK YOU ALL!

HERE ARE THE NAMES AND LINKS TO THE ROOM TO COPY AND PASTE TO YOUR TOURNEYS. AFTER YOU HAVE DONE IT ONCE YOU CAN SAVE AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE!

​ Blues Lines***

Blues are what happens when a match happened earlier in the tour . When you hit advance round you will notice beside all the teams/player have a numer in brackets beside them. This is how many wins a team/player has. Sometimes a pair gets a Blue Streak on it . When this happens switch a team in the blue with one outside it with Same win Total. This makes for fair matches and usually get rid of blue . If it stays try with all possible optoins outside of blue with same win total. Try to never switch the top 2. SOME TIMES YOU WILL NEED TO EXPLAIN THAT THERE WILL BE A REPEAT MATCH IF BLUE LINE CAN'T BE REMOVED!

A PERSON WITH 0 WINS SHOULD ALWAYS GET THE BYE!

If you need help on learning how to fix blue lines, we can set up a time to teach you.

TOKEN GAMES:

EASY TO USE TOKEN PAGE BY CASES:

Now it shows matches and great for round one but the matches change and hard to change all names while doing it so this is what i do works best. Put all the names of playes in your tour on sheet. You can do this when you see them jump so you are ready. The games that use this are slots, mahjong and some bingo games have certain start and go times. Slots is 7 mins If you prefer paper and using calculator that is fine too, depending on your math skills.
Start of tour:
Give Pairs in Room
Get last 6 numbers of pogo token totals, put in the numbers beside each players name
Start tour with announce time on clock
Stop round at exactly 5 minutes later.
When you stop round say hit new game as this counts all the tokens for undone game and makes it fair.
In Slots this wont be needed.
Ask for the last 6 numbers again and ask them not to play until the next go is given.
Put the token total in Final Score
It will show the difference in tokens highest difference wins as it means they earned more in the 5 minutes. Put in lobby the numbers next to each player of the teams, so they know who won and if they are doing the math, they know you have it correct.
Now for other rounds its a little trickier. Changing all the names to match the matches takes to much time so i would say keep them the same .
Take all the scores from Final Score put into Start score for the next round Give pairs, give them start time.
SAY Stop ( Hit new Game only in Majong) get token count put in Final Score Compare names with pairs on tour Sheets to see who's difference is higher. keep going till tour is done .
FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW. IF THE SCORES ARE BOTH MINUS ON A PAIR, THE LOWEST MINUS IS THE WINNER!!
