 WHAT HAPPENS IN A TOURNEY ?

If this is new to you and you feel that you don't know what you are doing?  Don't worry, we have been there before so please make yourself known to the host and members.

We understand you will have a load of questions about how to play in a league.

WHAT TYPE OF GAME ARE WE PLAYING?

Most of the games are Regular STD unless otherwise stated on the tourney page.  these are played on odd hours, ie 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.

Gimmicks are played from time to time and your tournament host will advise you of the rules for that particular game.  gimmicks are on even hours, ie 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.

 

WHO DO I PLAY?

Once tourney is closed, the host will type in lobby. host will tell you which table to set and who your partner is and who your opponents are.

The 1st persons name called always sets the table.

Host will verify table and request to reset if set incorrectly.

 

HOW DO I SET A TABLE:

 

General table settings:

SCORE TO 10

BOTS: DISABLED
 2 PT MISTAKE RULE/ SKIP HAND ONCE
 5 MIN BRB DQ RULE

Rules are always typed in the lobby before the start of each tourney.  please make sure you are in room before start of tourney.

 

TOURNAMENT ETIQUETTE

We have some tourney etiquette rules in Euchre Joy League mostly they are common sense and courtesy.

The only person in league that uses caps are the hosting Staff.  Please, as a player, don't use caps as this can confuse members.

We ask that you aren't rude to your fellow players at the table or in the lobby.

We welcome all ratings...so sometimes you will have a partner that plays different from you please accept it as a part of playing in a league with multiple ratings.

Please don't be rude to the hosts they are here so that you can play and they give their time willingly which is  completely voluntarily.

 

LEAGUE RULES

NO Talking Religion or Politics in Lobby.  This is not only a League Rule but also a Safe Harbor Rule.

If your in the lobby and Host calls your name to a table and you haven't responded in the chat or sat at the table... you will have 5 minutes to do so or you will be disqualified (DQ'd).

If you get booted from Safe Harbor at anytime in a game you have 5 min's to get back to table.

If you poof 3 times in any one game you will be dq'd on the 3rd poof.

There is a 2pt penalty for going alone on 9.

Tourneys will not be held up for anyone once we start.

no instant messaging (IM) use of any kind while in Game Play.

 

CASES NAME AND SAFE HARBOR NAME MUST MATCH

PLAYERS IN SAME HOUSEHOLD MAY BE PARTNERED BY CASES IN REGULAR TOURNEYS; HOWEVER, IF ONE MAKES IT TO THE FINALS, THEY MAY NOT ASK SAME/A HOUSEHOLD MEMBER TO PARTNER THEM.

HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS CANNOT JOIN AS A TEAM FOR ANY TEAM TOURS.

 

LADDER MATCHES

You may ladder as many times a day as you want but you can only ladder the same person twice in a 24hr period.

The loser of the ladder must report the match immediately....by going to the Euchre Joy League main page.

Click on the Tab .."Standing" and in the title bar click on "Report Loss".

No one from the same household may ladder one another.
