HUMBLE HOME RULES & TWIST PAGE

Single Elimination vs. Double Elimination vs. Swiss Tournaments

In Single Elimination tournaments, you will only play until you have one loss. In Double Elimination, you will keep playing until you have lost TWICE in the tournament. In a Swiss tournament, you will play every round until one person is declared the winner. You always have the option of leaving a Swiss tournament. Just notify the TD that you wish to be taken out of the Swiss tourney.

Standard Rules

While twists and individual rules may change from tournament to tournament, some rules always remain the same:

* There is a 5 minute timer. If you get booted, have to reboot or are unresponsive for 5 minutes, you will be disqualified and your opponent will get the win. The TD will always announce the timer in the room. Also, 3 BRB's or 3 boots will get you disqualified.

* No one may join a tournament if they are already in a tournament. Please do not sign up for a second tourney. If you sign up for a second tourney and the TD starts the tourney unaware that you're already in a tourney, you will be automatically disqualified from the second tourney without a timer.

* There is NO clearing rule in this league. Members only need to clear their board before a tournament game if they had already begun a game previously.

* If you were not in your opponent's room before they began playing, you MUST notify them in the room chat before they have posted their score. If this happens, the opponent MUST replay their game. If you have trouble getting your opponent, contact the TD.

* ALL scores must be announced in the room chat and verified by your opponent. If you are playing in a baseball tourney, you MUST post the score and x, xx or xxx if it is a strike. No exceptions.

* NO member may play in a league match while playing in a tournament. No exceptions.

* All players MUST announce to their partner when they are in their room to watch their opponent's game. There are NO exceptions to this rule.

Game Twists

Blitz

A series of tournaments 15 minutes apart... 1 game each all the way.... You may report early only for blitz and mass confusion in order to jump in next before it starts. Please do not report early while in a regular tournament. Timers in blitz tourneys are only 3 minutes because these are supposed to be quick tournaments.

Mass Confusion

These are SD (Sudden Death) Games. You play only one game against each other. These games are set up to run quickly; therefore a few of the rules are different. Only 4 players per tourney. Jump #s will be given in the room. There will be no spam. If you are booted ONE time you are out of the tourney. There are no timers in Mass Confusion tourneys. You may only join one tourney at a time. Joining more than one will result in disqualification. Once you know you have lost a match you ARE allowed to report early so you may join another tourney. Please do not report early while in a regular tournament!! # 1 GAME EACH!

If you choose DEAL, post your score with the word DEAL in the room and wait for your opponent to acknowledge. Simple. Now the twist, if you choose DEAL, your hand is over, keep your score. If you choose NO DEAL, start a new game, but DO NOT PLAY any cards. The face up card determines your fate; if it is a 2, 3, 4 or a 5, you BUST, you get ZERO for a score. If it is a 6, 7, 8 or a 9, you get HALF of your score. If it is a 10, J, Q or K, you get DOUBLE your score. If you get the almighty Ace, TRIPLE your score.

Td will announce the total rolled and you will remove any of those numbers you have in your TOTAL SCORE. Example if 1 and 1 were rolled it would total 2, so you would remove all 2s, so if you score 3260 it would become 360.
