***In timed games, please report in a timely manner

- either your score or tell us that you're in a state

where you can't give us a score for a few minutes***

***No disrespect. We do not tolerate disrespect by anyone

in this league aimed at other league members

 or non-members during a tour.

*** Disrespect takes many forms, such as (but not limited to):

 ***Vulgar Language - if it's gonna cause a TV show to get rated

"VL" for Vulgar language - don't say it.***

 ***Disrespectful names - trash-talk name calling is one thing.

Pulling out words that are getting radio hosts fired is another...***

***And don't forget - what one group of people thinks is all in fun,

another group may think is the worst thing to do in the world.***

***Violations will be dealt with - possibly by boxing or removal from league

(depending on severity of the problem)***

REQUESTED CONDUCT: We ask for the following, as a show of courtesy

 ***Please hold non-essential chat during the issuing of pairs and the reporting of results***

 ***Please pay attention to game-specific rules if they are run in room -

and please be honest if you don't know them -

 so we can run them and answer any questions***

***During the setup / running / follow up of a tour -

 please do not IM the host with unnecessary questions / commentary.

It can get hectic during a tour, and having a window pop-up

while we're working can be distracting and cause an error

 - even worse, we might mis-file a window and ignore / miss

what might have been an important comment.***

***Please stay through the entire tour -

 a tour ends after the tour winner has been announced

 and the various "thank you"s are done - we understand family emergencies, etc.,

 but if you're just killing time, we ask you hang around for

the half-game or so (on average) that it takes to wrap everything up***
