MyLeague has one of the simplest ranking systems ever used for competitive play. The concept was adopted from the ranking system used on the official Case’s Ladders. We call it a "Ladder" because each member holds a unique rank or "rung" that represents their standing among other members. The highest-ranked member holds the #1 Ladder position; for example, someone ranked #2 is ranked below the #1 member. The goal is to "climb" the Ladder all the way to the top!
- When you first join, you are placed in an “Unranked” category on the League.
- You become "Ranked" after winning your first League match. (Unranked members may play each other, and the winner becomes ranked at the bottom of the League.)
-
When you defeat a higher-ranked member, you move up in rank 50% the distance between their rank and your own.
- Example: If you are ranked #50 and you beat the #1 ranked member, then your new rank would be 25.
-
Your rank on the League does not go down if you lose a match unless your opponent is ranked DIRECTLY below you.
- Example: If you are ranked #5 and the #6 ranked member defeats you, then your new rank would be #6.
-
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 90 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.
-
Inactivity
- Members in the Top Ten must play a League match at least once every 14 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!
Account Rules
Challenges
Note: Please consult the Admin staff regarding whether or not League challenges are permitted for this League. A challenge is defined as a request for a match with a higher-ranked member. Whether you are the challenger or the one being challenged, there are some rules that must be followed. Violating these rules may result in penalties. If you notice anyone violating these rules, please contact the Admin staff.
Playing a Match
Once you are ready to start playing a League match, there are some guidelines governing game play that you should keep in mind.
Reporting the Match
Once your match is completed, the loser of the match is responsible for reporting the loss immediately. You can report your matches using the 'Report Loss' button located on the 'Standings' tab. Please note the ‘Report Loss’ link should only be used for League matches and not for tournament matches; you should consult the TD with any questions regarding reporting tournament matches. If you have any problems reporting a loss, you should contact the Admin staff and request assistance.
Tournaments
The rules for a Tournament are determined by the Tournament Director hosting the event. You will find a summary of each individual Tournament, including a Rules page, if you follow the link for that specific Tournament.
League-Specific Rules
LEAGUE RULES AND ETTIQUETTE
1. Members and Staff should be friendly and polite to all members and non members in gaming rooms.
2. If you have a personal problem with a member or non member, DO NOT BRING IT TO THE GAME ROOM. LIL HELLIONS IS A NO DRAMA LEAGUE.
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. LIL HELLIONS HOME PAGE ADDY

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! 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. 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.
Expected Behavior
As a member of MyLeague, you are representing the League, the Admin staff, and all other members when you are participating on a MyLeague. It’s part of your responsibility as a member to act in a respectable manner within your League community.
Fill in the Blank
Although we have tried to be as detailed as possible, we can’t cover every aspect of gaming in our rules. Please be advised that just because something is not stated in our rules and policies, then that does not mean it is allowed. Use common sense. If it is something that will adversely affect other members and you might think twice about it, then it’s probably against the rules. The Admin staff will have the final say in such matters. If you have a specific question please feel free to contact us via E-mail.
