SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER
Summer is almost over. Am I the only one who thinks that went by way too fast? Kids are going back to school; chillier weather will be setting in... can we please have summer back?
Sadly, we have lost 3 members in a little over 3 weeks’ time, SunsetCanada, Mohawkgirl and GC4KiddyCat. All 3 were instrumental in helping the league in their own ways. RIP dear sweet angel Devils...you earned your wings may you soar through the heavens no longer in pain, no longer suffering. All 3 of you touched many lives and will be sorely missed.
Please join me in welcoming Ccl back to the DCR DEVILS AND MORE 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.
There will be more challenges and changes made down the road, just need to get our bearings with the new games and see how else we can make them more fun and exciting. I am open to any and all suggestions.
In case Pogo is having issues you can always use the tournament calendar. That link is: http://www4.igl.net/cgi-bin/tourney/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 that 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. IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE ROOM WHEN THE HOST GOES TO CLOSE THE TOUR YOU WILL 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.
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 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.
