IF you do not report your score during round play you will not be asked for it it will be a "0" zero score. This has been posted on the announcements on the homepage was and left there for 45 days. Hosts WILL NOT be asking for scores they will scroll up chat to see if reported but that is only to see if it is if not there you will get that "0" zero score.

If you go in and out of the room during round play and your score shows out of order on the scoreboard, this will be a "0" zero score for that game. Please look on the scoreboard if you have had to go out of the bingo room for any reason to see where your score is located on the board. If it is NOT in line with other scores please be honest and say "My score was not in order for that game I get a "0" for it." This is only a game, its not if you win or lose we want you to feel that you are spending time with extended family.

Please say "tyfpm glnr or glnt" at the end of the round. This is just common courtesy to your partner. Put yourself in your partners shoes if they say to you and no response you just leave how rude that is and would you want them to do the same to you.

Sharing bingo's, this is a hard subject. Let me 1st say that this is not our rule here but a POGO and CASES rule, we here at thebrownbandits have not said much about it in the last 2 years but i feel this should be just a friendly reminder that since we DO NOT play in a sharing room, which pogo set up for this reason that if a player gets bingo to call their bingo DO NOT wait till someone else bingo's to call it if you are playing during round play and active in the tourney. This just makes it fair for all players in the room, yes everyone wants a bingo or their spin, but sharing is against POGO rules in our room and it can violate your terms of service and nobody wants that.

If you are MIA at the start of a tournament, you will be left in the tournament unless you have requested to removed before we close and start.

It has been a rule for quite some time that if a player registers for a tour, and not in the room when the 1st ball of the 1st game that they have a partner that the partner is given win to the next round. On that note occasionally there is the time when neither partner is in the room at the 1st ball of the 1st game of the round. At that time host looks to see who was registered 1st for the tour and that player is moved on to the next round. This was how we decided who advanced when we changed the rule to you had to be in the room for the 1st ball of the 1st game of the round.

Comments, rude comments in the bingo room, myleague emails, or regular emails with rude comments will no longer be tolerated. We try to have fun, get along and cut up but some comments are getting out of control. Hosts can not see everything thing that is typed in chat. They maybe helping a player, getting scores, writing pairs down, numerous things. That does not mean they are ignoring you but as you see with the size of our tours there is a lot a host does. Those that have never hosted can not understand as well as those that have what goes on when hosting. Some make it look easier then others, some are faster then others, but that is no reason for comments especially in main chat. If you need to discuss something ask the host to private when they have a moment but realize they may not be able to go right at that instant please be patient with them.

We do not like having rules but feel the need to kind of send a small reminder to players of these things just to make our bingo room a friendly fun place to spend your time. We here think of each person as an extended family member if they are on the league or not. Some leagues like to have crazy rules on being there and DQ'ing players to quickly. WE will not do that here. We just ask for all players in the room to be friendly courteous and have fun here as a part of our family at thebrownbandits.
