STAFF  RULES

  Requirements for being a Tournament Director

1.If you want to apply for td, we would love to have you,

all we ask is that you dont give up after a week.

If you require training there are Htd's at hand who can train you.

2. We would like to see at least 10 a week.

Really we would just like to see you running tourneys and enjoying yourself.

We all have lives outside the league. Job's, family etc.

So just run as many as you can as long as it is above 1 tournament.

3. If you resign from a td post after being approved within a month, give a valid explanation to an admin or you will be removed from the league.

1. Do not set a tourney before entering the room.

If you want to host a tourney please check the tourney calendar first to see who is hosting

and whether you can fit one in.

Please don't rely on the TD's in the room to know who has set one up for next.

2. Only 1 tourney may b set up at one time, once the tourney starts if there is no other tourney set up, the TD may then go n set up another tourney

3. Make sure all tourney's r kept up 2 date and on time,

so they are on the main lg page 4 members 2 jump.

If they are set up earlier and been run at a later time change it to the time it is when you run it.

4. TD's must know the tourney rules of the tournament they are running.

If you are uncertain please do not run it until you are sure.

The tourney must be on the tournament rules page, or something similar like

red ball last may be blue ball last. But explain this to the people playing that it is similar.

If there is a completely new tournament please give the rules set in stages of how it is played to Nai,

so she can add them to the rules page.

5. If you have 4 in a tourney who are playing

and someone tells you they give win please remove them from the tournament.

6. You can jump your own tourneys but you get 3 warnings,

if you do not pay attention and get 3 the ability to jump your own will be removed.

7. When massing a tourney in yim please mass it only 1 time every 5 minutes.

8. When not running a tourney please lose caps unless you are spamming for next.

Nothing else should be said in caps except the next tournament details.

9. The 1st name called in pairings invites.

10. If someone asks for a timer, for what ever reason it is a 7 minute timer.

11. A boot-em can be set as Swiss system or regular.

If you want to learn either of these please get with a HTD/ADMIN who knows so they can train you.

12. Tourneys will be ran this way as of now.

If there is a tourney in finals then next tourney should start running.

After that starts next TD needs to start spamming.

Its not hard to keep it like that we believe we can run 40 tourneys

that way as long as we have tds running.

13. There will be a calendar going out at the end of each month for the specials,

so anyone can set them up doesn't have to be particular people each week,

except the TOC which is always set up by Sprinks.

But they will need to be set up in advance so we know who is hosting them when.

Only have to be careful that when you host the Wednesday night tourneys,

you have an admin at hand to help do the reporting.

Also things that have a trophy attached the winners names are given to Nai or James,Sprinks

to add them to the league page.

1. TDs need to be aware that if they have a problem about a tournament,

it should be taken to a HTD. This is what the HTDs are there for to help run tournaments.

2. HTD's need to be nice to the TD's and encourage them to run if they are around.

Please don't be mean and boss them around.

3. If a HTD sees a problem with how a TD is running their tournament

please talk to that TD outside the lobby, there should be no criticising.

4. HTD's if you want to send out a e-mail to TD's

please let Skittles, Sprinks, Nai, or James look it over first before sending it out.

On that note it may be easier to notify all 4 of them, so they all know whats being done,

before its sent out, as we should be agreeing on it first before its sent out

5. ADMIN's need to listen to each other and work alongside each other, when things occur in lobby.

For example if we need to move rooms because of a problem.

Or if we need to Iggy someone who just likes to cause trouble.

6. One day during the 1st week of each month have an ALL STAFF meeting.

Whether its a few TD's or many.

Its only to go over rules, see if anyone has something to bring up that may help the league.

It can go up on the main league page, telling the TD's when it will happen,

either as an announcement or maybe setup the news box again on lg page with whats going on,

So keep an eye out for them.

7. Admins will meet the next day after the meeting and discuss it,

and if there are more rules or changes we come up with

we will verify them and send them out in an e-mail.

8. There should be no removing staff unless its been authorised by ADMIN as a group.

If a TD isn't hosting and refuses to host they can Idle out of staff

rather than be removed after so many days.

There is always a chance that TD may suddenly decide to host,

and that will help the league, even if it is one tournament every now and again.

9. New TD Apps should be checked by Skittles or Sprinks, James or Nai.

We are looking for new TD's to host especially as it is a big league.

Experience is not necessary as they can be trained.
