• When members ranked below you are victorious against members ranked above you, it's possible the member will jump over you in rank and you will move down one rung. This depends on the ranks involved.
  • Example(per 50% rank gain) :You are currently ranked #7. If the #10 ranked member defeats the #1 ranked member, then #10 will advance to the #5 rung and you will fall to the #8 rung.

• League Names
  • If your League name is deemed offensive or contains profanity, your account may be removed.
  • If your League name is deemed abusive towards another member, your account may be removed.
  • You can edit your League name by using the ‘My Account’ tab and choosing the ‘Edit Username’ option. If you have problems changing your League name, please use the ‘Contact Admin’ link, located on the 'Support' tab.
• E-mail Address
  • Your E-mail address must be kept current at all times, in case you need to be contacted. You can use the 'Edit E-mail Address' link on the 'My Account' tab to edit your E-mail address.
• Password Security
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.
  • You are not permitted to share your password with anyone for any reason.
• Inactivity
  • In order to keep the League as dynamic as possible, your account will be automatically deleted if you are inactive for 120 days. However, one of the features of our Premium Membership Program is never being deleted for inactivity. Information regarding our Premium Membership Program can be found here .
• Multiple Accounts
  • Only one account is allowed per person. There are no exceptions to this rule.
  • It is forbidden for more than one person to use or share the same account.
  • Multiple accounts from the same location will be investigated and possibly removed.

• Chat
  • The best way to find League matches is to announce in chat that you are looking for a League match so that other members will know you are interested in League-play. You can also directly challenge a specific member in chat.
• Formal Challenges
  • Most Leagues permit the use of Formal Challenges. A complete overview of the Formal Challenge system can be found here .
• 1 time(s) Per Day
  • You may play the same member 1 time(s) per day. However, you may play as many different members as you would like on any given day. A “MyLeague” day begins at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
• Verify Information
  • We recommend you ensure a potential opponent is also a member of the League before starting your match. You can do this very easily by searching for your opponent using the 'Search for Players' tool.

• Opponents
  • You are not allowed to report losses to another member that also plays from the same computer as you. Our security software will detect this activity if it is attempted, and participating accounts may be penalized or removed.
• Sportsmanship
  • The same rules that apply to behavior in chat (covered in a later section) also apply during matches.

• Reporting the Loss
  • In one-on-one matches, the loser of the match reports the loss to the winner.
  • In partner matches, each member of the losing team reports a loss to both partners of the winning team. At the end of the match, you would either gain two wins or report two losses.
  • In “free for all” matches (matches in which multiple opponents are competing against each other without partners), each loser of the match must report a loss to one overall winner.
  • When playing matches with more than one opponent, it is important for losses to be reported in the proper order if rank will be affected by the order of report. You must report to the better-ranked opponent first in those cases. It is your responsibility to make sure you report in the correct order when necessary. Not doing so may result in penalty.
• Unreported Matches
  • If your opponent does not report their loss within one hour after completing the match or prior to starting another match, you should click on the “Contact Admin” link and then use the “Unreported Match” form.

3. Remember, not everyone in the game room is an adult. Be sure to adhere to POGO TOS.
4. MEMBERS have a 90 day inactivity window. If you do not play in 90 days you will purged from Lil Hellions automatically by Myleague. You will lose your bux and your stats. If you want to rejoin, please do.
5. PREMIUM MEMBERS will be unranked when the inactivity purge is reached.

6. It is the members and responsibility to check the league home page for daily tournaments, special tournaments, and league info. The instant messenger we use to send links has become sporadically unreliable. If you are waiting for a link for a tour, you may not get one. If you have special needs please contact a staff member. We will be happy to assist you. Visit your home page regularly and learn to use it. There is a forum for questions you may have, and a chat box to keep in touch. Put your homepage addy in your faves.

7. Please make sure you know what kind of tour you are registering for, and that you have the time needed to complete playing in it. Once you register for a tour, a TD CANNOT TAKE YOU OUT, you must withdraw before tour starts or take the loss.

8. Read the tournament rules for each type of game we play. They are listed later on this page, and on every tour registration page. It is important to understand what SWISS is, what DOUBLE ELIMINATION is etc.
9. MEMBERS WILL REPORT AT END OF ROUND OR GAME AS WINNER / NON WINNER BY NAME. EVERYONE MUST REPORT! IF YOU DO NOT REPORT THE TD WILL ASK YOU BY NAME ONE MORE TIME, IF YOU DO NOT REPORT WHEN ASKED AGAIN, YOU WILL BE DQ FOR THAT ROUND AND TAKE THE LOSS! This allows the host to be sure they are entering the winner correctly on his tournament page. ONCE YOU REPORT INCORRECTLY, IT CANNOT BE CHANGED, YOU MUST TAKE THE LOSS.
10. If you want to register for a tour and it is close to tour start time or LAST CALL, MAKE SURE YOU IM YOUR HOST AND TELL THEM YOU WANT TO REGISTER SO THEY DON'T CLOSE THE TOUR! Your Tds are volunteering their time and have a schedule to adhere to, so please be on time and load your game room BEFORE tour start time.
11. Support your league by playing, and by setting tours so your members CAN play.
12. AS OF JUNE 7, 2009.
It is the MEMBERS responsibility to be in the game room 5 minutes before tour time.
If you are LATE, or not PAYING ATTENTION TO THE HOST, or MISS START TIME FOR ANY REASON when they announce when to begin playing the tour, YOU WILL TAKE A LOSS, if you don't catch up and win!
THERE WILL BE NO REMATCHES for MISSING THE TOUR START.
This is necessary to keep our tours running on time. Please be sure to pay attention the chat and YOUR HOST.
IF YOU HAVE TO STEP AWAY FROM YOUR COMPUTER FOR ANY REASON, YOU WILL TAKE A LOSS IF NOT THERE TO START OR PLAY.
REMATCHES ARE ONLY FOR FREEZING OR BEING BOOTED, and that is only ONCE PER TOUR, in the games that allow rematches.
It is difficult as a host to keep everyone organized and ready to play, so your co-operation on this will be greatly appreciated.
13. Most of all have FUN!

TD AND STAFF (WHEN STAFF IS HOSTING) RULES

1. League rule as of June 3, 2008 for staff. Hellions staff may not TD or hold other staff positions in another league. If you already do, it is ok. But no new positions. Hellions needs your support and we thank you for your loyalty.
2. TDs and STAFF who are ACTIVE have a 22 inactivity purge for setting tours.

3. TDs must be familiar with all league and tournament rules.
4. TDs must enter the name of the game they are setting with the room location. This is needed so players know what game the tour is set for. When setting a tour TDs MUST check the calendars of the leagues we share rooms with, don't set at the same time another league is using the room. Also DO NOT set a tour or move a tour to the same time another TD has booked. Check the calendar when moving your tours.

5. TDs need to be in the game room no less than 15 minutes before tour start time. This will help newbies feel comfortable, and the TD can introduce them to members as they arrive.
6. TDs should be sending links from the room they are hosting in.

7. IM links should go out 30 mins, 15 mins, 5 mins before tour and at last call. LAST CALL is at tour start time if you have enough players, or after tour start time. Give members enough time to register for last call.
8. TDs must run league addy once before tour starts if non league members are in the room. If there are only Hellions in the room, and non league members enter the room during tour, addy the league once before you leave the game room. Keep it short and sweet. We don't want to spam the room, that is why only run it ONCE.
9. TDs must give the game settings especially at games that have tables and score settings. If the game doesnt have settings, announce what type of tour you are hosting, SWISS, D/E etc.
10. TDs must spend equal time at all tables when hosting. It has been "suggested" by Myleague that housemates or couples should not "visit" at tables the entire match. Especially if they are the host.
11. TDs must announce tour winner, give out bux, and announce the stats have been updated and the tour is closed. Members depend on you to keep them informed during the tour. If you know another TD has a tour after yours, please let members know what game and when.

Top Ten
The purpose of the League is to climb to the top and the competition for the rungs in the Top Ten is high. As such, we have special rules that apply for members in the Top Ten.

• Inactivity
  • Members in the Top Ten must play a League match at least once every 7 days; otherwise, you will be automatically dropped five rungs and your inactivity counter is reset. There are no exceptions to this rule.

• Cheating
  • If you believe your opponent is cheating, then you should contact the Admin staff.
• Abuse
  • It is forbidden to abuse or harass another League member.
  • It is important to remember that two wrongs do not make a right. If you are being harassed by another League member, contact the Admin staff for assistance. Do not take matters into your own hands or return the abuse, or you could be penalized as well.
• Nice Guy Rule
  • Please note that behavior guidelines govern all methods of communication. This includes chat, E-mail, message forums, instant messenger services, etc. Treat other members with respect!
