We require all staff to be active in Just 4 Fun. If you are idle from hosting for 31 days, you will be removed from the TD team unless you have contacted a TD Manager with a valid reason.
TD's are required to host a minimum of 10 Tournaments per month
HTD's are required to be active every 7 days and host a minimum of 20 Tournaments per month Admin are required to be active every 7 days and host a minimum of 30 Tournaments per month

No hosting 2 speed-type tourneys in a row, either on the calendar or as a TD. You must host a full type tourney between hosting two speed-type tourneys. We want variety on the calendar as well as from each staff member when hosting.

1ST: A staff member may NEVER play in more than ONE-1-UNO tourney or league game or non- league game when hosting.
2ND:If you're hosting 3 tourneys one of those has to be verified to be in finals by another staff member and then you can play in your allowed 1 game.
3RD:IF YOU ARE HOSTING 4 OR MORE TOURNEYS YOU MAY NOT PLAY AT ALL!
4TH:When you are hosting, the members in your tourney should be priority; not the game you're playing in. If you feel you cannot keep up with playing and hosting, then please use common courtesy and DON'T play.
5TH:Please note that slow play rules apply to td's and hosting is not an excuse for slow play. Make sure when you are hosting and playing that you let your opponent know when you are taking tables.

Doubles may NOT be hosted at times other than listed here, just remember no singles should be hosted in the above time slots. If there is a skill dbls in a reserved dbls slot, please do NOT buddy it with a non-skill dbls - unless it is your own.

These are tourneys that are hosted in the same spot on the calendar together to give our members better variety. You can buddy any singles tourney with another singles tourney, or dbls with another dbls tourney, but do not do a mixture of both singles and dbls in one time slot. Buddy tourneys may be hosted by 1 td or can be shared by 2 tds. If you are sharing the same time spot with another td, You do not have to ask the td if you may buddy, however you do need to IM them and let them know that you have buddied them and you will do the spamming. All Tourneys marked SE are special event tournaments and may NOT be buddied unless its another SE tourney or an invite only tourney such as TOC. Multiples also may not be buddied. Tourneys marked TR are training tourneys and may NOT be buddied either.

In Just4fun we have skill and non-skill players. It is our job as TD's to do our best to please both. This means having a variety of skill dbls and non-skill dbls, skill singles and non-skill singles. All staff should do their best to host both skill and non-skill tourneys. We know at times that it may be harder to fill a skill tourney and it may take a little more effort to get it going, but it's better to make an effort than no effort at all. If td managers find that staff are not hosting enough skill tourneys then we may be forced to make stricter hosting rules, which we do not want to do. If at any time a skill tourney does not get filled, it needs to be cancelled (not moved) and the td needs to put in reason box the game type and how many in, etc.

Never move a tourney with less than an hour to scheduled start time or with people registered for it. If you cannot host your tourney, then please contact an Admin or HTD so that they may make arrangements to have your tourney covered. If you have spammed your tourney and still do not have enough players to close after the allotted grace period (5 mins past for singles, 10 mins for doubles) then please CANCEL the tourney and under REASONput the NAME OF GAME and the NUMBER OF PLAYERS REGISTERED.

As much as we would love to see EVERY tourney close ON TIME, it doesn't always happen. Singles tourneys are to be closed NO LATER than 5 minutes after scheduled start time. Doubles and multiples are allowed TEN minutes past time. There should be no reason for tourneys to be held open later than this.

DO NOT spam your tourney until the TD before you has closed their tourney, unless it is 5 minutes past closing time and the tourney before yours has not closed, then you may spam for your tourney. Please be considerate of the other TD, and pay close attention so that you don't spam out something they may be trying to say in the lobby. Sometimes they don't close because they may be trying to get somebody on auto so they don't drop a player, or trying to get bux to a member so they can join the tourney. Also, please do not spam out the pairings of the TD before you as soon as they post them to the lobby. Give the players a chance to see the pairings please.

You should be in the lobby no less than 30 minutes prior to your tourney start time for singles or doubles and no less than 1 hour before for multiples. With time slots so close together, often the tourney before you will not have closed when you want to start spamming. In this case, we ask that you include both tourneys in your spam, or choose to hold off and spam once they close. If for some reason the tourney before you has NOT closed at minutes past, then you may spam your tourney. Spam no more than once every 5 minutes. Please be aware of other td's hosting around you and do not spam out their pairings. Also, on regular days (not race days), for example a TD has a tourney set for 7pm, then another TD comes along and puts one for 645pm, the TD who has put the Trny up last(645) is supposed to spam for both.

Keep Spams to 2 lines max please include name of tourney, time of tourney, jump number, bux and league address (www.myleague.com/4fun).

When helping out and spamming for a few tourneys at once, please keep in mind that we still do not want your spam to be longer than 3 lines (as of New Yahoo Banning), and please don’t spam tourneys that are more than 30 Minutes ahead.

MIA time for singles is 10 minutes. After running a 10 minute timer, if the score for the PRESENT player is 3800 or more, AND the PRESENT player is ahead then remaining player my choose if a STAFF sub is to be gotten from the lobby to finish the game. Otherwise, the game is cancelled and the present player advances in the tournament. If sub wins present player still advances.

MIA timers for all speed tourneys (3 hands or less) are 5 minutes.

MIA time for a Doubles game that has NOT started is 10 minutes from time of pairings. After running a 10 minute timer, you are to take the first sub from the lobby. If the sub starts the game, then the sub is to play the entire game. The original player may take their seat back the next round provided their team advances.

**Please Note –If a player is MIA at time of pairings you use the time of pairings to start timer. If player is present at the table and then gets booted or they have no ping, Then start time is at time the player was booted. **

MIA time for a Doubles game that is IN PROGRESS is 5 minutes. After running a 5 minute timer, you are to take the first sub from lobby. If the original player returns, inform them that they may have their seat back the next hand and they can stay at table but they are NOT to turn on kibitz. Turning on of kibitz by the player watching will result in immediate DQ of that players team. The sub is to finish the hand in progress. The sub may not stay at the table after the hand is finished.

If both players in a match are MIA when you announce pairings, you place them both on a 10 minute timer from pairings time. If both of the players do not return within the 10 minutes; then you advance the player that would have invited that round and DQ them in the next round as they had timed out from round 1.

If both TEAMS in a doubles MATCH are MIA when pairings are announced, the same procedure used in singles is to be followed.

If a player asks for you to get a sub for them, you do not need to run a timer. The ONLY time that a timer is run on a sub, is if they started the game. If a sub is gotten in the middle of a game and gets booted, please get another sub immediately. Anytime that a player subs for 1.5 or more rounds (win or lose), you need to complete a Sub Report, found on the TD Help Page. If you need help please contact any Admin or Htd.
***Please Note *** When a player has a sub and original player gets booted leaving only the sub at table they get a full 10 min before the team is timed out and dq'd. As long as there is 1 original player to a team the game goes on this means. If player 1 has a sub for player 2...player 1 gets booted but player 2 comes back then player 2 can take player 1s seat as they are an original player.

All staff will have the choice to host doubles as random partner or pick your own partner (PYOP). Please make sure to label all random partner doubles as such.

Anything about cards or game hands is considered table talk. Asking “out p?” is ok, but players are to limit answers to yes or no. If you see something that you KNOW is table talk then issue the player a warning. If you are UNSURE if something is table talk, please consult with a HTD or Admin before giving a warning. If the person table talks again after a warning is issued, then the team is DQ’ed. Cyep, gh, nmp, gjp, ncp (anything along these lines) is NOT considered table talk. If cards are discussed DURING the hand, it is table talk. Anything after the hand is dead is ok.
