is already then the match will be played out as RATED
LEAGUE
TOURNAMENT RULES
1)We request that the player listed on the left will create
the table
and invite the players listed on the right. This does not mean that
only
that person may create a table. Tds will invite for finals in any
order
they choose.
2)If you do not see your name listed in the elimination round you
have
a bye: A bye allows you to advance to the next round without playing.
3)CAPS are to be used solely by the
Tournament Director (TD).
4)Players will not use abusive, foul or obscene language that is
grounds for automatic disqualification and respects the Tournament
Director at all times.
5)It is your responsibility to be familiar with the game and
all the rules associated with it as well. The tournament director
makes tournament specific rules. TDs decision is final.
6)MIA RULE: Hardware and reliability are the player’s
responsibility.
If the player’s connection is severed during a match it is our
position
to disqualify after a combined 10-minute absence.
7)DQ RULE: A combined 10-minute (15-minute boot rule is for|
tournaments that have an entry fee of 500 BananaBux or more) rule
on boots/MIA begins when player

consecutively
and does not begin over each time they are disconnected. 15- minute
boot rule is for tournaments that have an entry fee of 500
BananaBux or more.
8)Please be familiar with tournament format and the player
responsibilities to report. Outright failure to report a win or loss
without telling TD may disqualify you from the next tournament.

KIBITZING and you must stay until the end of the game. Players
have the option to request no watchers, if you asked to leave please
do so.
10)Players are not allowed to play in other games while in tournament
play. Players are automatically disqualified when caught playing
other
games during a tournament. If a player has started a game before the
tournament has officially started, then they have 10 minutes (15
minutes for tourneys with entry fee of 500 Bux or greater) to get out of that
game before reporting to the tournament game. Any time used will
count towards their boot time. Players may not start a non-tournament
game 15 minutes prior to the official start of the tournament.
NO EXCEPTIONS!

name must be 24 characters or less. There will be no exceptions!

be completed; you will have 10 minutes to get to the new server after
that. Once the ten minutes is up, your 10-minute MIA timer will
start. The TD will state any other special instructions
Sub Rules for Tournament Games Requiring Partners
1. There are tournaments that require partners. Everyone pays to|
play and everyone should get their chance to play. Here is the rule
for tournament matches when one person is missing because of a
time out or a disqualification:
a) Call the TD to the table to start a timer. (10 minutes for
tournaments 0-499 bux and 15 minutes for tournaments
500 bux and over)
b) If a player TIMES OUT there will be NO skipping of hands. If a
player MISS BIDS in any NON reg. game we will skip hand 4 times
until its back to original dealer. Players that played in the
tourney,
but have already lost a game, will be given preference for subbing in
that tourney. Players who were disqualified for disrespect or
disruption
of tourney, or who timed out, will not be allowed to sub in that
tourney.
c) If you time out or are DQ's before money round your buxxs
will be taken from your account. If you dq or time out during a
money round you will keep your buxxs EARNED.
SPECIFIC PINOCHLE RULES
1. Setting the table - If table is not set unrated and game starts,
if will continue and stand as played and all players will cancel
at the end of the required number of hands. Allow Idle Force
forfeiting option must be OFF. If not off, table will have to be
re-made, regardless of how many hands have been played. It is all
players at the table's responsibility to make sure the table is set
correctly.
2. Uneven number of players - We strive to start on time.
If the tourney starts with an odd (uneven) # of players checked in
one will be bumped from the tourney. The bumped player will be
the last player to check into the tournament. Make sure you check
in early to avoid this possibility.
3. Tie Breaker - In the event of a tie, the Tournament Director must
be called to the table. The score will then be cleared,
and two hands
will be played to determine the winners of the match.
4. Table Talking - No table talk will be permitted. Any talk of the
hand at play or any coaching during bidding will be grounds for
an auto dq.
5. Conceding in partner type games - There will be no conceding.
If you concede, you will be reported.
