JULY NEWSLETTER
Happy Canada Day, 4th of July and at long last summer...now if it will just stop raining on a daily basis we'll be in good shape, lol. Please have a safe and happy holiday. Please keep in mind that hosts would like to celebrate the holidays with their family and friends, but we will do what we can to keep tours running although the tour schedule may be altered slightly as a result. Tour schedule will return to normal on July 8th.
For as long as I have been HA of DCR Devils And More, we have been all about being the league where players to come, relax and enjoy themselves. To forget about daily troubles and to provide an escape from everyday life. THAT WILL NOT CHANGE EVER.
Welcome to all our new members, we hope you will make this your MyLeague/Pogo home. If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please feel free to contact any Admin. Do you have a friend that would like to join DCR Devils And More? If so just give them our website addy and have them sign up. Remind them to activate the code that's sent to their email (remind them to check their junk or spam as the code sometimes goes there). Remind your friend that when they sign up to include your Pogo screen name as the referral. Cases will then send you 1000 bux for the referral.
Please join me in welcoming Thumper and CanastaKid to the hosting staff.
DONATIONS
Should you wish to help the league out with a donation, we now have a donation button on our league home page. It is located on the right-hand side of the league home page just above the backdoor button. Every little bit helps. Thank you in advance for your kind donations and help. Donations are used for $50/ month to keep us a plus league. (Plus leagues receive more bux per tour). The donations also allow us to provide bigger and better prizes for contests.
In case you haven't noticed we now have a Facebook icon on our league homepage which will take you directly to our DCR Devils And More wall. As you scroll down to the home page, look on the right-hand side just above the Tutt Radio Player. If you are not already a member on our Facebook wall, we will add you a.s.a.p. just answer the question asked when you want to join our wall and I will add you.
Remember our new daily and monthly challenges will be listed on our league homepage as soon as they are established. It is up to the winner to contact the sponsor with what prize they want. Please be as specific as possible when it comes to receiving gem items. It helps the sponsor find the item much more quickly. You have 1 (one) week to claim your prize, if you don't you forfeit it and it goes back to the sponsor for another day.
In case Pogo is having issues you can always use the tournament calendar. That link is: http://www4.igl.net/cgi-bin/gencalendar.cgi?path=dcrdevils. Please bookmark this to your favorites, that way if there are issues you will have it at the ready. THE BEST WAY TO GET INTO ANY OF THE NEW GAME ROOMS is by going into the host's league page for a tour when the room is very full, click on play here and that should get you directly into our room as well. If you still need help and there is time prior to the tour you would like to be in, feel free to ask any host and they can send you an INVITE.

Because we have grown so big it is necessary to create some new rules. If you are in tours and find that you need to leave it is YOUR responsibility to remove yourself from any tours you cannot play in. This helps the hosts in the larger tours. A mistake can be made, either the host will forget to remove you or the worst of all accidentally remove the wrong player because they are in a hurry to close and give pairs for the next round. I hope you can understand why we found it necessary to create this rule...if you have ever been behind the scenes for a large tour you will totally appreciate the hosts challenges.
PLEASE DO NOT SIT IN THE ROOM (ESPECIALLY DURING EVENING TOURS) IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PLAY IN THE NEXT TOUR. This is not fair to other players who want to play and cannot get into the room. You can always use an invite or go into a host's tour page and click on play here to get in... even I need to use those links occasionally, lol. EVERYONE's cooperation will be appreciated. The only exception allowed is if you are the next host. Obviously, the hosts need to be able to be in the room to do so.
Another issue I would like to address at this time is proper tour etiquette. PLEASE WATCH YOUR SWEARING. ALL OUR GAME ROOMS ARE CENSORED ROOMS AND POGO CAN BE MONITORING THEM AT ANY TIME. It is also against Cases rules, not to mention the league has no budget for bail money if you get put in Pogo prison.
While it is not mandatory it is only right and polite to wish your opponent good luck. The other is if you find that you are losing in a tour it is very rude to just withdraw from the tour and/or abruptly leave the room. Not only is it rude but shows very poor sportsmanship.
MAKE SURE YOU READ EACH TOURNEY CAREFULLY SO YOU KNOW WHAT AND WHERE IT IS! THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WITH MULTIPLE GAMES BEING PLAYED. Please try and pay attention to the hosts during the tours and please keep in mind that there is a lot going on behind the scenes, so a host may not have time to watch ALL the chat as much as they would like too. This is particularly true in larger tours. Our hosts are human, mistakes might be made, but nothing we can't fix. REMEMBERING TO POST WINNER//NON-WINNER is a huge help for the host. SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, POST WINNER//NON-WINNER. IN VERY LARGE TOURS, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HOLD CHAT AFTER GIVING WINNER//NON-WINNER. Your hosts will truly appreciate this. If we all work together tours will run very smoothly. Should by chance an error is made in calling the wrong winner, it is imperative that the player/s immediately notify the host and not wait until the next round pairs are given. Simply type out noooooooooooooooo so and so won. That being said, occasionally a mistake may be made, but as I stated above all hosts are human beings, not robots. Also keep in mind that we can and will fix any error that might be made.
WE NEED SPONSORS FOR A DAILY HIGH SCORE IN YAHTZEE. If you wish to sponsor, please notify any Admin. Your generosity is much appreciated and without you we wouldn't have all the daily and monthly specials.
A tremendous thank you to our hosts for donating their time. Without you, there wouldn't be as many tours. You are also greatly appreciated.

AngelicHearts is now coordinator for our birthday tours. Here's what to expect: Angelic will contact you a week or so before your birthday month asking you if you would like a birthday tournament in your honor. She will be asking what day, what time and what kind of tour you would like. Your tournament will be scheduled as close to the time you have requested as possible. Once you have let her know you would like a birthday tour, Angelic will send you questions that we can use for trivia in your tour (favorite color food music etc.). Trivia is optional and we will only do it if you tell us you want us to do it!
Angelic will be working off the birthday list on the right side of our main page. If your name/birthday is not on there, please let one of our staff know and we will put your name on the list. Thanks, and we hope you will enjoy this way to honor our players on their special day!!
