Welcome
To
YAHOO'S
Largest and Fastest Growing Gin League!
*First And Foremost Good Sportsmanship Is Expected Here. We are a
friendly group here. Please take a moment to greet your
opponent with a HI and/or gl (good luck) and end your game with a gg
(good game) Win or
Lose. Good sportsmanship and good manners are KEY
to us all getting along. In short, please treat your opponent
and other league members as you yourself would want to be
treated.
If your opponent gets to the table after you, and you have played your turn
and taken the UP card, please let your opponent know what it
is if they ask.

How To
Gain Points For Our Leader Boards
For each tournament played and
won, you will receive points for how many people entered the
tourney. Example, you played and won a tourney that had 9
people signed up, you get 9 pts. If you play and win a Special
Tourney, you would win twice the amount signed up, like if
there were 11 people and you won you would get 22 pts. If you
are the runner-up for a special tourney you get regular points
for a consolation. Playing in a Yahoo Official would get you
points as well, same idea as our specials except you need to
have 3 rated games in previous 48 hours to qualify for those
points. Yahoo Officials are good point-getters. If you are
runner-up in Yahoo Official, you get regular points, same rules.
Getting that #1 rung for winning a Yahoo Official, you need to
have had 3 rated games past 24 hours and runner-up gets 50%
boost with 3 games in past 24 hours as well.
1.
Harassment of ANY kind, directed toward
any member or the league in general
WILL NOT BE TOLERATED HERE. That includes, but is
not limited to, profanity, lewd or sexual remarks & comments
and racial or ethnic slurs.You may expect to be banned
without notice for behaving in such a manner. Along those lines, we try to maintain an atmosphere in which
all ages are both welcome and comfortable. Language
inappropriate for this type of atmosphere will not be
tolerated. You may expect to be banned without notice for
behaving in such a manner.
==============================================================================================
2. This league maintains an 8 MINUTE FORFEIT RULE.
You must wait 8 minutes before forfeiting your
opponent,
which allows time for a booted player to make it back to the
table and resume play if possible. That is an 8 minute
wait from the start of the round for an opponent who is not
present, or 8 minutes from the time your opponent leaves or
gets booted.
NEVER leave your game and table
without clicking the OK button to end the game. This is
unsportsmanlike conduct, and leaves your opponent having to
sit there. If you find that after you start a game, for
some reason must leave, please offer to "QUIT AND FORFEIT"
your game. This allows your opponent to end the game and
close the table, without having to wait for the Forfeit
option.
==============================================================================================
3.
Kibitzing of tables is PROHIBITED here,
unless arrangements are made with all players involved (as in
training) Persistent table hopping is prohibited
here. It is
annoying and distracting to the players.
==============================================================================================
4.
Arguing or fighting in the lobby or at any table is
prohibited. If you feel the need to assert
yourself, please take it outside the league
==============================================================================================
5. There will be
no spamming or scrolling in the league lobby. Recruiting of any kind, for any
league, is prohibited here.
If you are found to be recruiting for another league, whether
by IM or by Email, you will be immediately banned without
warning.
==============================================================================================
The Moderators
(those with the Gold M-balls next to their name) are here to assist league members and answer questions, so
please feel free to approach them should you need information
or assistance. They are also here to enforce league rules and
policy, and to make sure everything runs smoothly. PLEASE MAKE
SURE TO FOLLOW THEIR INSTRUCTIONS OR DIRECTIONS. All
Moderators have the authority to make decisions regarding
misconduct or inappropriate behavior, and have been instructed
to take necessary action to enforce the leagues rules.
==============================================================================================
Miscellaneous Rules
Regarding Tournaments:
Regarding Substitutions
During Tag Teams
You and your partner
are responsible for your Team. If your scheduled partner does
not show up for the tournament, you may find a substitute
PRIOR TO THE 2ND ROUND OF PLAY. Once
the first round has been completed,THERE WILL BE NO SUBSTITUTIONS ALLOWED. This means if your
partner leaves, gets booted, doesn't respond etc... your team
is considered to be incomplete and you will be asked to
forfeit your game. Please do not ask the Tournament Directors
to make exceptions.
(TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS DECISION IS
FINAL !!!!!)
Time Limits during Tag Team Games. If your partner leaves,
gets booted, doesn't respond etc... the 8-minute Force Forfeit
will be started. At the start of the Tourney the Tournament
Director will announce in lobby the Time Limit on games. If
you are not sure of the Time Limit ask in lobby. If you are
asked to Forfeit because of time, Please do not argue with
Tournament Director. Win will be given to the team leading at
that time. If you are in a match and you feel someone's slow
play will time the game out then Please let the Tournament
Director be aware of the problem.
Yahoo has been known to do strange things with the tournaments
on occasion. When this happens, please keep in mind, it's
nothing that the league has done, nor is it anything that we
may fix. In these instances, those particular
tournaments are not counted in our points totals. In some
instances, such as if Yahoo went down in the FINALS of a
tournament, we can reschedule that game outside of the
completed tournament, so that it may at least be finished and
points awarded. This is the only circumstance where we could
work with you to rectify an occurrence outside of our
control. Please keep this in mind and not vent your
frustrations on the Moderators, it's not their fault, and they
can't fix it.
