THE TON A FUN LEAGUE RULES
ABSOLUTELY NO MULTI-TASKING WILL BE PERMITTED DURING ANY TOURNEY THAT YOU ARE REGISTERED IN OR SUBBING IN. THIS INCLUDES ANYTHING THAT WILL PREVENT THE GAME FROM MOVING ON IN A TIMELY FASHION.
YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO PLAY IN ONE TOURNEY AT A TIME. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU ARE IN 2 TOURNEYS AT ONCE YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO PICK WHICH TOURNEY YOU WILL PLAY IN. THE ONLY TIME YOU WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PICK IS IF YOU WERE PLAYING IN ONE THEN PLAYED IN A SECOND TOURNEY THEN YOU WOULD CONTINUE IN THE SECOND AND DQ OUT OF FIRST ONE (EXAMPLE...YOUR IN THE 730PM TOURNEY THEN YOU PLAYED IN THE 8PM YOU WOULD THEN BE DQ'D OUT OF THE 730PM TOURNEY BECAUSE YOU HAD PLAYED IN THE 8PM).
IF A GAME STARTS WITH ANY NON MEMBER SITTING AT TABLE THEN THE TABLE MUST BE REMADE AND REPLAYED.
IN THE 8PM ALL DISPUTES WITH A TOURNEY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH THE TD THAT IS HOSTING THE GAME. SEND THEM A MESSAGE AFTER GAME SO THAT THE ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED. IF THERE IS A BOO TD WILL ASK THE PLAYERS TO STOP PLAY TO ADDRESS THE BOO, ONCE IT IS HANDLED THEY WILL ASK FOR THE GAME TO RESUME. THE TD HOSTING THE GAME HAS FINAL SAY OVER ALL MATTERS.
THE FIRST PERSON IN PAIRINGS WILL INVITE REMAINING PLAYERS THERE WILL BE A TIMER PUT IN LOBBY. FIRST PERSON LISTED HAS FIRST CHOICE OF SEAT IF THEY DON'T MAKE THEN IT WILL GO TO THE SECOND PLAYER LISTED AND TIMER THEN WILL BE PUT ON THAT PLAYER. THEN THE 3RD LISTED AND SO ON. IN A 2 VS 2 THE TIMER IS PUT ON THE WHOLE TEAM IT DONT MATTER WHICH ONE MAKES.
FAST PLAY IS EXPECTED AND APPRECIATED AT ALL TIMES!! WE UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, WE ALL DO. SO WHEN TYPING AT TABLE PLEASE TRY TO TALK BETWEEN THROWING YOUR CARDS TO KEEP THE GAME MOVING AT A STEADY PACE. WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF OUR MEMBERS HAVE DIAL-UP AND SLOW CONNECTIONS AS WELL AS PING ISSUES SO WE WILL GIVE YOU 10 SECONDS TO MAKE YOUR PLAY. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE A PLAY THE T.D WILL ASK IF YOU ARE OK. IF YOU DO NOT REPLY YOU WILL BE GIVEN A WARNING. AFTER 2 WARNINGS IN THE SAME TOURNEY FOR SLOW PLAY YOU WILL BE DQ'D. IF IT IS A PING, FREEZE OR BOOT ISSUE THE TIMER WILL BE APPLIED. IF YOU HAVE SUDDEN CONNECTION ISSUES THE T.D. MAY BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN PLAYING IN A TOURNEY AT A TABLE YOU ARE NOT TO BE TYPING IN LOBBY AS IT SLOWS PLAY DOWN. WAIT TILL YOUR GAME OVER THEN YOU CAN TYPE IN LOBBY.
M.I.A AND FREEZE CLOCK IS AS FOLLOWS: IF YOU REGISTER IN THE TOURNEY AND ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING INTO THE LOBBY, LET THE T.D. KNOW! THEY WILL PUT YOU ON A 10 MINUTE TIMER TO ALLOW YOU TIME TO GET INTO THE LOBBY. IF A MEMBER THAT IS REGISTERED IN A TOURNEY IS BOOTED FROM THE LOBBY, OR FREEZES AT ANY POINT DURING THEIR ROUND THEY ARE PUT ON A 10 MINUTE TIMER. YOU ONLY HAVE 1 TIMER DURING THE TOURNEY AND THE T.D. WILL KEEP TRACK OF THE TIME USED. ONCE THE TIME HAS BEEN USED YOU WILL BE DQ'D. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE MIA A TEMPORARY SUB WILL BE PUT IN PLACE UNTIL YOU GET BACK. THIS WILL KEEP THE GAME MOVING. WHEN YOU RETURN, AT THE END OF THE CURRANT HAND THE SUB WILL STAND AND YOU WILL RESUME YOUR SEAT. IF YOU DO NOT GET BACK IN TIME THE SUB WILL STAY AND AUTO ADVANCE WILL BE ANNOUNCED TO THE TABLE.
LONERS ARE ALLOWED FOR MOST OF OUR GAMES AS LONG AS YOUR TEAM HAS 7 POINTS OR LESS. IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE AND GO ALONE ON 8 OR MORE POINTS THE HAND IS SKIPPED, THE OPPOSING TEAM WILL DECIDE ON HOW MANY TIMES TO SKIP, 1 OR 2. THIS DOES COUNT AS A BOO.
BOO RULE IS AS FOLLOWS: ALL PLAYERS REGISTERED IN A TOURNEY IS ALLOWED A TOTAL OF 2 BOO'S FOR THAT TOURNEY, UNLESS SPECIFIED WITH-IN THE GAME RULES THAT ARE POSTED AT THE TABLE. WHEN A PERSON BOO'S THE OPPOSING TEAM WILL DECIDE IF THE HAND IS SKIPPED 1 OR 2 TIMES. THE TD WILL RESUME THE GAME AFTER THE NUMBER OF SKIPS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED. BOTH PLAYERS MUST AGREE ON HOW MANY SKIPS. IF IT IS SKIPPED BEFORE AGREEMENT THEN SKIP BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASK AGAIN HOW MANY SKIPS THEN IT IS SKIPS AS THEY AGREE ON. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO BOO'S ALLOWED IN THE FINAL ROUND. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE FINALIST AND YOU BOO YOU WILL BE D.Q'D. IF YOUR SUB BOO'S IT DOES NOT COUNT AGAINST YOU. BUT THEY MUST STAND AND YOU WILL NEED ANOTHER SUB. IF YOU REACH 2 BOO'S OR ARE A FINALIST AND BOO YOU WILL BE D.Q'D SO BE CAREFUL!!! AND IF YOU ARE SUBBING AND BOO THAT COUNTS AS A BOO THROUGH OUT THAT TOURNEY... THERE ARE SOME FIXABLE BOO'S. YOU WILL STILL GET A BOO BUT THE PARTNER IS TO CALL TRUMP SO NO SKIPPING IS NEEDED. WHEN PLAYING TOURNEYS ON THE 00 OF THE HOUR TIMERS ARE ONLY 5 MIN FOR MIA'S. 10 MIN TIMERS ON TOURNEYS THAT START ON THE 30.
TEAM/PARTNER TOURNEY RULES & POLICIES * SUBS ARE ALLOWED IN A TEAM TOURNAMENT. IF A PLAYER GOES MIA, THE REMAINING TEAM MEMBER(S) WILL BE ALLOWED A SUB. IF THE MIA TEAM MEMBER DOES NOT RETURN BEFORE THE TIMER EXPIRES, HE/SHE WILL BE DQ'D BUT HIS/HER TEAM WILL BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN THE TOURNEY WITH A SUB. BOO RULES APPLY TO THE ENTIRE TEAM - 2 BOOS PER TEAM. IF YOU ARE IN SAME HOUSE YOU CANNOT PARTNER UP IN A TOURNEY. YOU MAY NOT SUB FOR EACH OTHER EITHER. IF YOU GO AUTOLOCATOR AND CASES PAIR YOU UP THEN IT IS OK. IF YOU TEAM UP THEN WE WILL DQ YOUR TEAM.
WHILE PLAYING IN A TOURNEY AT TON A FUN YOU CANNOT ADVERTISE ANOTHER LEAGUE ON YOUR YAHOO MESSENGER. YOU WILL BE ASKED TO REMOVE IT AND IF YOU DONT THEN YOU WILL BE BOXED.
GOOD LUCK AND LET'S HAVE A TON OF FUN!!
