JULY NEWSLETTER
HAPPY CANADA DAY ON JULY 1ST AND HAPPY 4TH OF JULY.
EVERYONE PLEASE ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS, STAY SAFE AND CELEBRATE RESPONSIBLY
Summer is finally in full swing! I, for one, am enjoying all the sunshine and warmth.
As you are all probably well aware we lost a dear friend, great host and our co-HA thumper on Sunday 6/21. She will be sorely missed, have no clue how we will do without her, but unfortunately for us we must carry on. That's what thumper would want. She loved this league as much as I do and worked diligently to help me. As soon as I have all the particulars those that wish to make a donation for flowers or if thumper chose monetary donations to her favorite cause I will let you all know. She sent a gorgeous flower arrangement for my son's Celebration Of Life, I would like to do the same.
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 (also 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.
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 every day life. THAT WILL NOT CHANGE EVER. However, your participation in tours is key. If there are other games you would like to see added, provided they are "hosting friendly" games, we are willing to add them and give them a try.
DONATIONS
Should you wish to help the league out with a donation, there is a donation button on our league home page. For whatever reason PayPal has deactivated the button (apparently they do this every few years). I will be working on getting that fixed asap but until that happens should you wish to donate you can contact me and I will give you the information to Gerry's and my personal PayPal account. 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 Facebook wall. As you scroll down on Our home page, look on the right hand side just above the Tutt Radio Player, you will find the FB lcon. 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.
Yahtzee high scores starts at midnight and runs through 11:59 pm Cases time. Bowling also has a 300 Club for those lucky enough to bowl a 300 game.
Since Pogo has now done away with the backdoors we are occasionally using WILD/FAST/HOLLYWOOD DISH. Alternatively, if tours are already running in Passionate Sports Lovers you can try and get in the room by typing into the search engine on the Yahtzee room page the word "pass". If the room isn't overflowing our full room name will pop up in the search engine area. Just click on that and it will take you directly into our regular room. In case Pogo is having issues you can always use the tournament calendar.

Please bookmark this to your favorites, that way if there are issues you will have it at the ready.

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 out the hosts, especially 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. IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE ROOM WHEN THE HOST GOES TO CLOSE THE TOUR YOU WILL BE REMOVED.
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.
IF YOU ARE CAUGHT CHEATING WE HAVE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY AND YOU WILL BE KICKED AND BANNED FROM THE LEAGUE...NO EXCEPTIONS.
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 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. 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.
