Please remind them that they need to use their full Pogo screen name, profile must be open when in tours and that they need to activate the code that's sent to their email (remind them to check their junk or spam as the code sometimes goes there).

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' wall.

January 1st marks the beginning of our Resolutions morning and afternoon tours challenge as well as the Devil's Dash for evening tours. The Resolutions and the Devil's Dash will run the same. Get a solo win, score a point. Players with the most points at the end of the month win: 1st place Badge Album up to 54 gems, 2nd place M 'n M Badge up to 30 gems and 3rd place 4,000 bux. You can only win once, so if you've won in the morning and afternoon challenge you are not eligible to win the evening and vice versa.
Morning/afternoon challenge is now from Midnight through the last tour prior to 2:59 pm. Evening challenge is now from 3:00 pm through the last tour prior to 11:59 pm. If the last tour of the day spills over past midnight, then the final high score for that tour still counts for the day that tour was started on. When the Midnight host takes over the room that is when that day's new high score goes in effect.
Major's new monthly challenge is Major's Top 20 Battle Royale. If you are in the top 20 at 11:59 pm on the LAST day of the month then you will receive an invite to attend a special tour. That tour will be in Shrine the 1st Wednesday of the month with Major hosting. 20000 bux and 32 gems to overall winner.
Major has another new monthly challenge for S/E tours. It's Major's Splendid S/E Spectacular monthly challenge. Win a S/E and get an invite to the playoff tour. 1st place winner wins 20000 bux and 48 gems. 2nd place winner wins 16 gems.

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. Any given host may remove players if not in the room when they are closing the tour. This is especially important with S/E and D/E tours as once they have started a missing player cannot be removed.
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. Your profile must be open when in tours.
Another issue I would like to address at this time is proper tour etiquette. PLEASE WATCH YOUR SWEARING. BOTH TOWN & COUNTRY AND SHRINE ARE CENSORED ROOMS AND POGO CAN BE MONITORING THEM AT ANY TIME. It is also against Cases rules.
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. This also messes with the stats which will not be tolerated.
Make sure you read each tourney carefully so you know what it is. 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. 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.
A huge shout out to our sponsors. Your generosity is much appreciated and without you we wouldn't have all the daily weekly 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.
A HUMONGOUS shout out to our hosts who volunteer their time to host for all of you. Please be sure to thank hosts, they will appreciate the recognition. AND NOW A WORD FROM ME TO MY STAFF. YOU ARE ALL SO AMAZING AND YOU HAVE HELPED MAKE THIS LEAGUE THE SUCCESS THAT IT IS. I ENJOY WORKING WITH EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF YOU. THANK YOU JUST DOESN'T SEEM ENOUGH FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS AND HARD WORK.

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.

Trivia is optional, and we will only do it if you tell us you want us to do it! Mooky 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!!
