JULY NEWSLETTER
At long last summer has arrived and I couldn’t be happier. I’d like to take this time to thank all of our players for all their good thoughts, well wishes and prayers. They have truly helped. I am on the mend and hopefully will be back to my old self very soon. I am working very hard towards that goal…I still have a lot of life left in me. To all of our wonderful, amazing hosts who held down the fort thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Rita, you did an amazing job as you always do to make sure tours were covered and things ran smoothly. I so appreciate and love you all from the bottom of my heart.
Welcome to all our new members. We hope you will make this your MyLeague/Pogo forever home. If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please feel free to contact any Admin or host.
Please welcome wild to the hosting staff. Welcome abord wild glad to have you on staff.

ATTENTION!!!! ATTENTION!!!! ATTENTION!!!!
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IF A HOST’S SCREEN SHOT OF LEADERBOARD SHOWS A SCORE FOR YOU IN PARTNER TOURS AND YOU WERE BOOTED THAT IS THE SCORE YOU GET…THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS! IF NO SCORE IS ON SCREEN SHOT AND LEADERBOARD THEN YOU WILL GET THE 750 BOOT SCORE!
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT PLAYERS "GETTING BOOTED" ON THE LAST ROLL OF QTR 4 DURING TEAMS, GIVING THEM A BOOT SCORE OF 750. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING QUITE OFTEN AND IT'S BEING NOTICED BY PLAYERS AS WELL AS HOSTS. THERE IS A PATTERN BEGINNING TO EMERGE AND IT HAS BEEN NOTICED AND REPORTED BY NOT ONLY HOSTS BUT PLAYERS. IF THIS CONTINUES, ACTION WILL NEED TO BE TAKEN.
ATTENTION!!!! ATTENTION!!!
WE NEED MORE HOSTS SO IF YOU HAVE SOME TIME TO SPARE AND WOULD LIKE TO HELP US OUT, PLEASE PUT IN A TDD APP. EXPERIENCE NOT REQUIRED, WE HAVE DAR WHO IS AN AWESOME TRAINER.
WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH PLAYERS LEAVING THE TABLE TOO SOON FOR HOSTS TO GET SCREEN SHOTS WHEN THEY LOSE CHAT. PLEASE WAIT UNTIL THE TIMER RUNS DOWN TO 0 (ZERO) AND THEN REFRESH. IF YOU HAVE TRILLIAN POST IN TRILLIAN LOST CHAT AND THE HOST WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S OK TO REFRESH THAT WILL GIVE US AMPLE TIME TO TAKE THE SCREEN SHOT. HOSTS WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MISSED SCORE OR WIN IF THESE STEPS AREN'T FOLLOWED.
WE NEED PLAYERS' HELP AS FAR AS LETTING HOSTS HOST THEIR TOURS. ALL THE EXTRA SUGGESTIONS, COMMENTS, ETC. SOMETIMES DEFEAT THE PURPOSE AS WELL MEANT AS THEY ARE.
REGARDING PARTNER TOURS 1) PLEASE SET YOUR TEAM AT LEAST 5 MINUTES PRIOR TO TOUR START TIME SO YOU’RE NOT SCRAMBLING LAST MINUTE TO SET ONE OR JUST JUMP AUTO AND YOU GET WHO YOU GET. 2) BOOT SCORE ONLY APPLIES IF YOU HAVE NO SCORE ON THE LEADERBOARD WHEN THE HOST TAKES THE SCREEN SHOT. IF YOU HAVE A SCORE THEN YOU GET WHAT YOU GET. 3) AND THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL POSTING TEAM TOTALS AND WINNER//NON-WINNER. THIS HAS BEEN GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE SO WE WILL BE IMPLEMENTING A “0” SCORE FOR THE TEAM IF THEY DON’T POST. It’s the least we can all do to help out the hosts that host partners tours to try and make their job a little easier.
As long as I have been HA of DCR Devils And More we are all about being the league where players come to relax and enjoy themselves, to forget about daily troubles and to provide an escape from everyday life. THAT WILL NOT CHANGE EVER!!
