     Getting Started With Something for Everyone Domino League

       Something for Everyone is a domino league geared towards player satisfaction in a manipulation free playing environment. The league plays hourly tourneys in yahoo/beginners/femur seven days a week and has a separate ranking structure for its players. This is a brief outline to get all new players situated and show them the basics to signing up and playing in this league. All new players should read through the full listing of rules. This is just an outline. Easy access to all of the selections is listed along the left side of the Something for Everyone’s main web page. Good luck and have fun out there.

By checking each of the boxes in this section you will accrue 100+  LadderBux and be directed to a page where you may earn even more. This will get you starting bux for our league.

   Activate Account. You will want to retrieve the 3-digit activation key that was emailed to you. This will activate your new account with Something for Everyone Dominos. You are only allowed to have one account per person. All multiple accounts will be deleted.

       Signing up and playing in tournaments

         The largest draw to this league is the multiple tourneys held everyday. The TDs (Tournament Directors) host a multitude of different tourneys. This keeps the ladder very active. This section will briefly outline signing up and playing in the tourneys.  

 Finding tourneys to play in   On the main page, owards the bottom, you will find a schedule of daily events. This calendar is updated frequently throughout the day. On the main page’s left side menu is a link for a real time Tournament Calendar. It is recommended that you sign up 30 minutes before the tourney starts. This will give you plenty of time to get all set up and find a partner if you need to.

      Tournaments are also advertised in femur’s lobby. All tourneys will have an address that looks like this  http://www.cgi2.igl.net/tourney/everyone/65555. The only difference will be the jump number at the end of that address. That number represents the number of that tourney. You can manually type the jump number in the ‘tourney jump’ box on the main page’s left side menu.

   Registering for a tourney   Once you have gotten to the tourney page, you will have to register for that tournament. Please follow these steps to get signed up in that tourney.

1. Click on the Register link.

2. Enter your league name and password.

3.  Check the read rules box. It is required that you read the rules for that tournament. Rules can be found by clicking on the Rules link at top of page. There are a variety of specialty tourneys, so please make sure you know what the rules are for that particular tourney.

4. Then click register.

5. The same procedure is used when you are withdrawing from a tourney as well. You will just click on withdraw though.

 Registering for a partner tourney    Registering for a 2 v 2 (Partner tourney) is slightly different.  After finding a partner (usually in the lobby or at a partner shopping table)  follow these steps.

1. If creating a new team, put a check in the box next to ‘make new team’ and type the team name into the space provided.  To join an existing team, put a check in the box next to ‘join a team’ and select the team from the pull down menu.

2. Enter the password for that team. This password should be something simple and easy to remember. Generally 123 or some password like that is chosen.

3. Please insert your ladder name and password.

4. Place a check in the Read the Rules box.

5. Then click register.

       Members who don’t have a partner may still play in 2 v 2 tourneys by checking the ‘auto-team locator’ box.  At the beginning of the tourney cases will randomly pair all players who are using the auto-team locator option.

Checking in for tourney   After you have signed up you will need to be checked in for the tourney. This is meant to ensure that players who register early are available to play when the tourney begins. To check in, just click on the Teams/Check-In button. Then click on the yellow Check-In button. Then just enter the team name and password. This will let the TD know your team is ready to play. However, if you sign up after the TD has opened the Check-In process, you will automatically be checked in after you register.

Standings   The Standings selection will show the bracket style listings of the tourney. This will show whom you will play in your upcoming matches.
Pairings   The Pairings selection will layout the matches to be played. This is most prominent in the Swiss Style tourneys.
Rules   The Rules selection is just that. This specifies the rules for that tourney. Please read these before each tourney.
Report   In Something for Everyone domino league the Tournament Director reports all tourney wins/losses. A common mistake by new members is to use the report page to do their own tourney game reporting. You will report to the tournament director by typing in the lobby chat window your name, your opponent’s name, and whether you won or lost.

 Tournaments aren’t the only way league members can compete. This next section pertains to non-tournament league games.

Playing a non-tourney match     You may also play against other league members anytime you would like. There are many games going on after or in-between tourneys. To initiate a game, just ask in the lobby if there are any My League members who are interested in a game. It is never very difficult to find a game. You can play against another player three times a day, and the top twenty only once per day.  However, you can run across these same players many times in a tourney that same day.

Reporting a non-tourney match     It is the loser’s responsibility to report the losses of these matches. If you lose a match, click on the Report Loss selection on the left side menu on the main page. You will insert your ladder name and password. And you will insert the name of the player who beat you.   Something for Everyone is a fast moving league and our members expect prompt reporting of losses.  You need to report the loss of a match before playing another My League game.  If you are experiencing ISP or computer difficulties you have 24 hrs to get your report made, this is assuming that the report WILL be made prior to playing another game. It is recommended that you use a notepad to keep track of the players that you play everyday. This prevents playing the same opponent more often than allowed and you may track reports from other players..

This last section will briefly describe the rest of the options on the main menu.

Find Player This allows you to see if another player is registered with Cases, or to see the stats on any other player or yourself.

Daily Results This will show all of the reports for any player for the past 7 days.

Hall of Fame This will show you the best of the best in many of the major statistical categories..

Standings This is similar to the Hall of Fame, but is a bit more detailed and thorough.

Rules Read these. This will outline all of the specifics of the ladder and the responsibilities of the players.

Tourney Bux Log This will allow you to track how you are doing with your ladder funds. Most members at some time find themselves running low on LadderBux.  If this should happen to you, contact the current Tournament Director who will contact one of our premium players to gift you with bux.  

Directors This will show you all of the TD’s and HeadTD’s for this ladder. When selecting the ladder, ours is Something for Everyone..

 Forums  This is a place for all players to communicate with everyone else. You can read or post messages in this area...

Buy Memberships This league is entirely free, however, you can get better services and larger LadderBux awards by signing up for Gold, Platinum, or Diamond premium memberships. These do cost a fee, and are totally optional, but are recommended if you play here quite often.

 User Editor You would use this if you need to make any adjustments to your account, like new email or if you want to change your name. While name changes are ok, only one ID per person is allowed.  Players with multiple IDs will have their accounts removed. Premium accounts are also managed from here..

Lost Password If you happen to forget your password you can request that it be emailed to you. The password will be sent back to the email address given in the player setup.

Withdraw If you need to withdraw an account, you will select this option.

Unreported Match If a player you have beaten does not report that match in a timely fashion, you would fill this out and the Admin staff will handle that report for you. This option should only be used after you have tried to contact that player.

Admin List This is a listing of the people that run this place. We try very hard to run this league smoothly and are always here to help with anything that you may need.  

Contact Admin This will allow you to send an email to any of the admin with a problem that you might be having.

 

      As a new member you will be added to our yahoo messenger so that you can receive direct links for tourney registration from those TDs who choose to advertise them. If you do not wish to receive these ads, just hit ignore on the instant message or reply to the message saying you wish us to delete you from our messenger . Most of our players love this feature! We update our pagers weekly. If you would like to ensure that you are added quickly, just email admin.

 

     Well that about wraps this up. I hope this will answer most of your questions as you begin playing with us. We are a large family here and most anyone is willing to help you with any questions that you might have. Remember, we were all new here at one time.  Let me be the first to welcome you to Something for Everyone Dominos.
