• When members ranked below you are victorious against members ranked above you, it's possible the member will jump over you in rank and you will move down one rung. This depends on the ranks involved.
  • Example(per 50% rank gain) :You are currently ranked #7. If the #10 ranked member defeats the #1 ranked member, then #10 will advance to the #5 rung and you will fall to the #8 rung.

• League Names
  • If your League name is deemed offensive or contains profanity, your account may be removed.
  • If your League name is deemed abusive towards another member, your account may be removed.
  • You can edit your League name by using the ‘My Account’ tab and choosing the ‘Edit Username’ option. If you have problems changing your League name, please use the ‘Contact Admin’ link, located on the 'Support' tab.
• E-mail Address
  • Your E-mail address must be kept current at all times, in case you need to be contacted. You can use the 'Edit E-mail Address' link on the 'My Account' tab to edit your E-mail address.
• Password Security
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.
  • You are not permitted to share your password with anyone for any reason.
• Inactivity
  • In order to keep the League as dynamic as possible, your account will be automatically deleted if you are inactive for 255 days. However, one of the features of our Premium Membership Program is never being deleted for inactivity. Information regarding our Premium Membership Program can be found here .
• Multiple Accounts
  • Only one account is allowed per person. There are no exceptions to this rule.
  • It is forbidden for more than one person to use or share the same account.
  • Multiple accounts from the same location will be investigated and possibly removed.

• Chat
  • The best way to find League matches is to announce in chat that you are looking for a League match so that other members will know you are interested in League-play. You can also directly challenge a specific member in chat.
• Formal Challenges
  • Most Leagues permit the use of Formal Challenges. A complete overview of the Formal Challenge system can be found here .
• 50 time(s) Per Day
  • You may play the same member 50 time(s) per day. However, you may play as many different members as you would like on any given day. A “MyLeague” day begins at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
• Verify Information
  • We recommend you ensure a potential opponent is also a member of the League before starting your match. You can do this very easily by searching for your opponent using the 'Search for Players' tool.

• Opponents
  • You are not allowed to report losses to another member that also plays from the same computer as you. Our security software will detect this activity if it is attempted, and participating accounts may be penalized or removed.
• Sportsmanship
  • The same rules that apply to behavior in chat (covered in a later section) also apply during matches.

• Reporting the Loss
  • In one-on-one matches, the loser of the match reports the loss to the winner.
  • In partner matches, each member of the losing team reports a loss to both partners of the winning team. At the end of the match, you would either gain two wins or report two losses.
  • In “free for all” matches (matches in which multiple opponents are competing against each other without partners), each loser of the match must report a loss to one overall winner.
  • When playing matches with more than one opponent, it is important for losses to be reported in the proper order if rank will be affected by the order of report. You must report to the better-ranked opponent first in those cases. It is your responsibility to make sure you report in the correct order when necessary. Not doing so may result in penalty.
• Unreported Matches
  • If your opponent does not report their loss within one hour after completing the match or prior to starting another match, you should click on the “Contact Admin” link and then use the “Unreported Match” form.

2. Players must use the same name on our league as in Pogo. They must also have a working email address on their account.

3. The Tournament Director (TD) will announce which game is being played for each round. Whether or not one-liners are played will be at the individual TDs discretion.

4. Unless otherwise stated by the TD prior to the tourney, all tourney rules will be as follows: Jackpot Spins will not count, a 1st bingo is an automatic win and the first player to 1st bingo in a pair will win. If both bingo without 1st bingo or there is no bingo, then the highest score will determine the winner.Score is defined as the “SCORE” total given on the details page at the end of the game, and does NOT include Jackpot spins. If the rules differ from these, the TD will post the rules in the bingo room prior to starting the tourney.

5. For each tourney, the game played and the rules for that game will be determined by the hosting TD and announced prior to the tourney's start. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE GAME, DON'T JUMP THE TOURNEY!

6. In case of a tie score, unless otherwise stated by the hosting TD, the winner will be determined by the highest skill rating. If both players are unrated then the highest ranked player will win.

7. Players should DAUB THE FREE SPACE AND ALL NUMBERS CALLED ONLY.
IF YOU DAUB A NUMBER THAT HASNT BEEN CALLED YOU WILL LOSE POINTS. At the end of the game the TD will ask for scores. It is the player’s responsibility to report a bingo with their score. If "Bingo" is not reported when scores are asked for and before tokens reset, it will not count.

8. Except for a typing error, TDs will take the first score posted. Make sure you have clicked only all your numbers called + free space BEFORE reporting your score.

9. It is the player’s responsibility to pay attention to the chat during a tourney. Once the TD has asked for scores, players will have a limited time in which to post their scores. If their score has not been posted by the time the token score has reset to 0, they will receive a 0 score – NO EXCEPTIONS! If there is a dispute, the TD has the final say.

10. Once the TD has announced winners for a round, players will be asked if all agree. Players will then have a brief opportunity in which to disagree with the announced winners. Once the tourney has been advanced to the next round, the announced winners will stand even if they are incorrect. If you need to go on brb, it is advised to wait until rnd winners are announced in case there is a discrepancy.

11. If a player is not in the room after two rounds of being absent, they will be removed from the tourney. In the case of Single elim or Double elim tourneys, players are unable to be removed by the TD, so they will be eliminated through the natural course of the tourney.

12. Players name must show in the chat list during tourney play. If a player goes "invisible" they must leave the room and come back in as soon as it is discovered or they will get a 0 score.

13. In the case of simultaneous tourneys (running at the same time), players can only enter one tourney at a time. If they enter more than one, they will be given a loss and be removed from the second tourney.

14. It is expected that all members will act in a courteous manner at all times. Respect for your fellow players and TDs must be shown at all times. Harassment, whether in open chat or private, will NOT be tolerated. Poor sportsmanship and/or name calling is unacceptable behavior. The consequences of such actions could range from a warning to being banned from the league, depending on the severity of the offense.

15. Padding of scores is strictly forbidden – this is cheating! The TDs will randomly check scores and if a player is caught padding (reporting a higher token score than they actually have), they will receive a warning and an email will be sent to all TDs regarding this player. If caught a second time, the player will be removed from the tourney immediately and put in the penalty box for seven days (they will be unable to play in tourneys while in the penalty box). If caught a third time, the player will be removed and banned from the league. We want to keep our league fun and fair for all, so please keep it honest!

16. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!

Top Ten
The purpose of the League is to climb to the top and the competition for the rungs in the Top Ten is high. As such, we have special rules that apply for members in the Top Ten.

• Inactivity
  • Members in the Top Ten must play a League match at least once every 7 days; otherwise, you will be automatically dropped five rungs and your inactivity counter is reset. There are no exceptions to this rule.

• Avatars
  • The rules of common decency should be followed when uploading images to use as avatars. Inappropriate avatars may be removed without warning or notification.
• Cheating
  • If you believe your opponent is cheating, then you should contact the Admin staff.
• Abuse
  • It is forbidden to abuse or harass another League member.
  • It is important to remember that two wrongs do not make a right. If you are being harassed by another League member, contact the Admin staff for assistance. Do not take matters into your own hands or return the abuse, or you could be penalized as well.
• Nice Guy Rule
  • Please note that behavior guidelines govern all methods of communication. This includes chat, E-mail, message forums, instant messenger services, etc. Treat other members with respect!
