GENERAL CONDUCT
The vision of As Pogo Turns is to provide a place to show your WILDNESS without any drama. We take this seriously! Drama of any kind will be dealt with and not tolerated. We are here to kick back and relax and enjoy some fun, competition and good friends.
1.) COMMON COURTESY:
FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE ASK THAT EVERYONE TREAT PLAYERS, HOSTS, ADMINS, AND GUESTS WITH COURTESY AND KINDNESS.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT OUR TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS DONATE THEIR TIME OFTEN WITHOUT EVEN SO MUCH AS A THANK YOU. OUR HOSTS WORK VERY HARD JUST TO BRING YOU FUN AND GAMES AND AT NO TIME WILL WE TOLERATE THEM BEING SUBJECT TO ABUSE. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A HOST, PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS IT IN MAIN CHAT, BUT RATHER BRING IT TO A TABLE, OR PC (PRIVATE CHAT) OR IM (INSTANT MESSENGER).
IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH THE RESOLUTION PROPOSED BY THE HOST, PLEASE CONTACT A MEMBER OF THE ADMIN STAFF, AND THEY WILL MAKE A FAIR AND HONEST DECISION WITH REGARD TO THE ISSUE. PLEASE REMEMBER, ALL DECISIONS BY THE ADMIN STAFF ARE FINAL.
THE REVERSE IS TRUE FOR HOSTS ABUSING PLAYERS, AS WELL.
ABUSE ON ANYONE'S PART WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE HOSTS HAVE RECEIVED TRAINING ON HOW TO HOST THEIR TOURNEYS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH WILDerNESS STANDARDS AND PRACTICES. PLEASE GIVE THEM THE RESPECT OF ALLOWING THEM TO DO SO. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OVERSTEP A TD'S AUTHORITY IN A TOURNAMENT. THIS INCLUDES STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE NOT HOSTING AT THE TIME.
2.) POOR SPORTSMANSHIP:
GOOD HAND (gh), NICE PICK UP (npu), GOOD GAME (gg), WAY TO GO (wtg), THANK YOU VERY MUCH (tyvm), YOU'RE WELCOME (yw), ETC. ARE ALL CONSIDERED STANDARD PRACTICE WHEN PLAYING IN OR HOSTING A TOURNEY AND DIPSLAY GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP.
EXITING A GAME BEFORE A MATCH IS FINISHED (UNLESS CAUSED BY BEING BOOTED OR AN EMERGENCY), NOT SAYING ANYTHING TO YOUR OPPONENT OR HOST, LEAVING A TOURNAMENT BEFORE IT IS OVER (EXCEPT AS IN SITUATIONS AS MENTIONED ABOVE), ARE ALL EXAMPLES OF POOR SPORTSMANSHIP WHICH WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
3.) PROFANITY:
ALTHOUGH WE ARE PRIMARILY AN ADULT LEAGUE, SOME OF OUR MEMBERS ARE CHILDREN AND/OR TEENAGERS AND PROFANITY OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED. TOPICS OF A SEXUAL NATURE, EXPLICIT DESCRIPTIONS, REFERENCES TO ANATOMICAL PARTS, OR ADULT ORIENTED DISCUSSIONS ARE TO BE KEPT PRIVATE AND OUT OF MAIN CHAT.
WORDS LIKE "CHIT" ARE ALLOWED, AS IS INUENDO WHICH IS NOT SPECIFIC AND CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN ADULT SUBJECT MATTER.
VIOLATIONS OF THIS RULE ARE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES LISTED BELOW, DEPENDING UPON THE SEVERITY OF THE OFFENSE.
GAME SPECIFIC
1.) TIMER RULE:
OUR GOAL IS TO KEEP TOURNEYS RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND ON TIME. IT IS FRUSTRATING FOR EVERYONE IF THEY HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. FOR ALL TWO PLAYER GAMES WE HAVE A 5 MINUTE POOF RULE. IF YOU DO NOT SHOW UP WHEN CALLED OR DO NOT RESPOND FROM YOUR TABLE THE HOST WILL START THE 5 MINUTE TIMER. IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND BEFORE THE TIMER EXPIRES YOU DQ. IF YOU RESPOND BEFORE THE 5 MINUTES IS UP AND BECOME UNAVAILABLE AGAIN, THE TD WILL START A 2ND 5 MINUTE TIMER. SHOULD YOU RETURN AND BECOME UNAVALIABLE A 3RD TIME IT IS AN AUTOMATIC DQ. TO KEEP GAMES RUNNING SMOOTHLY TIMERS WILL BE SET IMMEDIATELY IF THE PLAYER IS NOT RESPONDING, INCLUDING THESE REASONS:
A. BRB'S THAT RESULT IN THE PLAYER NOT BEING IN THE ROOM WHEN PAIRS ARE SET,
B. PLAYER IS MISSING FROM ROOM, A QUICK ROOM REFRESH IS ALLOWED DUE TO POGO ISSUES.
C. ABSENCES DUE TO MECHANICAL, TECHNICAL, OR SERVER ERRORS WHICH RESULT IN THE NEED TO REBOOT,
D. NOT JOINING YOUR OPPONENT AT HIS/HER TABLE WHEN CALLED, OR
E. LATE TO THE TOURNAMENT ROOM WHEN ROUND HAS BEEN STARTED.
2.) AUTO-CHEAT PROGRAMS:
THE USE, OR THE SUSPECTED USE, OF AUTO PROGRAMS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AND WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FROM THE TOURNAMENT AND POSSIBLE BANNING FROM OUR LEAGUE.
3.) REGISTERING FOR MULTIPLE TOURNEYS:
MEMBERS SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHEN REGISTERING FOR BACK-TO-BACK TOURNAMENTS. IF YOU ARE PLAYING IN ONE TOURNAMENT AND REGISTER FOR THE NEXT TOURNEY ON THE SCHEDULE:
A. WE WILL NOT DELAY THE START OF A TOURNEY IN ORDER FOR YOU TO FINISH PLAYING IN A PREVIOUS TOURNEY THAT YOU HAVE REGISTERED FOR.
B. WE WILL NOT REMOVE YOU FROM THE TOURNEY UNLESS YOU HAVE CONTACTED THE HOST AND HAVE ASKED HOST TO REMOVE YOU.
C. IF YOU ARE CALLED TO PLAY AND YOU ARE PLAYING IN A PREVIOUS TOURNEY AND ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO PLAY YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DQED FROM THE 2ND TOURNEY.
D. YOUR BUXS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED IF YOU HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE HOST AND ADVISED THEN TO DROP YOU PRIOR TO THE TOURNEY BEING CLOSED. IT IS NOT THE HOST'S RESPONSIBLITY TO KEEP UP WITH PLAYERS WHO MIGHT BE PLAYING OR JUMPING IN MULTIPLE TOURNEYS.
PENALTIES
1st OFFENSE: A MEMBER MAY BE GIVEN A VERBAL WARNING VIA IM (INSTANT MESSENGER) OR PC (PRIVATE CHAT), FROM EITHER THE HA OR ADMIN.
2nd OFFENSE: A MEMBER WILL BE GIVEN A FORMAL WRITTEN WARNING VIA E-MAIL.
3rd OFFENSE: A MEMBER WHO CONTINUALLY COMMITS OFFENSES AGAINST THE LEAGUE, WILL BE BOXED FOR A PERIOD TO BE DETERMINED BY THE HA. THE HA MAY CONSULT WITH ASST. ADMIN, HTD'S OR OTHER STAFF MEMBERS WHEN NEEDED. IN THIS CASE A JOINT DECISION WILL BE MADE AND ABIDED BY. THE OFFENDING MEMBER MAY ALSO BE BANNED FROM THE LEAGUE FOR MAJOR VIOLATIONS AND OR NUMEROUS VIOLATIONS.
***ALL DECISIONS BY THE ADMIN STAFF ARE FINAL. HOWEVER, ALL RULES ARE SUJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.***
