Event Rules for BGA

Our "Tournament Rules" are used by each and every Host.
We pride ourselves as all working on the same page, as a "Team".
However each of our Hosts is unique, so wording and
some Rule interpretations and actions may be slightly different,
from host to host.

1.   Please be in the room 5 minutes prior to the start time.

2.   Read the Rules Page and know what you are playing.

3.   Round Times will be clearly stated on the events main page
     It is up to each Host to decide when to call a Match.

4.   If the person-setting table is missing or not responding at post,
     they lose SEED and Opponent SETS table.

5.   Players should always check Table Settings, before match.

6.   Rd 1 ticker for those not in LOBBY when tourney closes.

    FIRST ROUND TICKER will be 5 minutes,
    following rounds are 10 minutes,
    including those posted with Rd 1.
    Booted Players must be seated and playing to stop tickers.

    The ONLY exceptions to Round 1 Ticker is if you are;
    ACTIVELY PLAYING in FINALS of the previous event,
    or player present at post, called to set is unable due to Pogo,
    that ticker will remain 10 minutes.

      Exception is the HOST of event.

8.   "Crawford Rule" League required rule stipulating that when
     a player gets within one point of a match victory,no player
     can use the doubling cube during the subsequent game.
     If this game does not decide the match, the doubling cube
     can be used during subsequent games.

9.    "The Cube" may be used and is truely encouraged to be used.
      Make sure it is used wisely, and in a sporting fashion.

     A.) Opening Ticker 5 Mins. ***See First Rd. Timer or;
     B.) 10 minutes during play, or;
     C.) 3 Accumulative boots total.

11.   Table Timers (1 Min) used to keep the game in motion.
      However with Pogo we see a lot of boots, freezes etc.
      Please notify the Host on each extention.

    If the Host decides it is a boot, or freeze they may select
    to use Boot Timer.   If your opponent says BRB, please notify
    the Host as such, Host will begin boot timer.

12.   "Registering for Events on this Ladder"
