Movin On Staff Guidelines
All Staff should read and follow these to the best of thier abillities.
:IMPORTANT RULE CHANGE:
Previously the rule on hanging 8 balls was both players had to double bank 8 in whatever pocket it was hung in. We are revising that rule to conform more with the actual situation the Game calls for.There will be a few examples below to hopefully make understanding this easier.
1. If your playing Last Pocket and player 1 gets to 8 ball first and calls Bottom Left as his LP and makes an attempt at that pocket and 8 settles in pocket but does not fall, Now your shot and you have balls left before 8 but you get to 8 ball, Only YOU will have to double bank 8 into that pocket, your opponent may shoot it straight in.
2. If the 8 ball is stuck in a pocket that is niether yours or your opponents pocket in any Game that requires a certain pocket, then both will double bank into the pocket it is stuck in.
3. We do not think the player that attempted a shot into his or hers last pocket should be penalized for a good attempt, so in fairness to the opponent, they will double bank into the pocket the 8 is stuck in and the other player can shoot it as called for in the specific game you are playing.

TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS
	All Tournament Directors are required to host 1 (One) tournament per 7 (Seven) days. If you have an issue that will not permit you to do this, you are required to contact an HTD or ADMIN to make them aware. We understand this is a voluntary position, But as you are aware, every league needs active Staff. We understand that life issues will ALWAYS take presidence over any online games, but communication is desired and helpful. NO GAME will be played that Movin On does not have rules posted for on our Tourney pages. http://users.igl.net/mlp2537/TourneyRules.html" Please know the rules for any particular Tourney you host Back to Top

DELETING TOURNAMENTS
	We ask that you DO NOT DELETE any tournament without and Htd or Admins approval Cases does not like any tourneys that can be edited and ran at a later time to be deleted This creates VOIDS in thier logs and makes for unessasary work, which in turns leads them to monitor our activity closer Back to Top
CONDUCT
	Staff members are expected to be respectful and helpful at all times. Remember that you represent this league (our league). Lobby conduct and behavior are important and your words and actions do have a huge effect on how the league is viewed by others. Back to Top
CALENDAR & SCHEDULING
	Do not post back-to-back tourneys on the calendar unless one is a Daily Special tourney. If no other TD has made a tourney by the time the TD currently hosting has closed, that same TD may then post a new tourney on the calendar and start spamming it. Be mindful not to post the same type of tourney back to back on the calendar. Please be respectful of each other's time slots on the calendar. If you would like to post a tourney between two already on the calendar, please YIM the TD you would like to jump in front of and make sure it is okay. Daily Special tourneys take presidence over all other tourneys. Back to Top

MULTIPLE TOURNEYS
	We do run multiple tourneys, but only when we have a large number of members in room, or if you see more members sitting than playing. Multiple tourneys should be run like Fast Four's. Be respectful of others by first communicating, not only with the other TD hosting, but with the members in the room as well. Back to Top
FINAL THOUGHTS
	We are here to have fun, not just for ourselves, but also for those around us. As a Tournament Director, you are in a position to see that this happens. Your attitude and behavior plays a major part in how the league is viewed, and more importantly, in how much fun you and others around you will have. So lets have fun!! Back to Top
