• 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 255 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 .
• 20 time(s) Per Day
  • You may play the same member 20 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.

(1). If for any reason your opponent is not shooting (frozen or booted) please STOP shooting! If in a tournament, call the TD running the tournament to the table for a 10 minute timer. If in a league game, STOP shooting and ask for a free TD to give a 5 minute timer. If no TD is available or in the room then click WAIT never force forfeit. Failure to stop shooting will result in a rematch.

(2). THERE WILL BE NO COACHING, Anyone caught coaching in a league game, or a tournament game, even in a 2v2, will be DQ'd from that tourney.

(3). You can play the same opponent a maximum of 20 league games per day, but unlimited times in tourney matches.

(4). Your league ID must match your yahoo ID exactly when joining and at all times you play any league or tourney games and you must be in the room on that ID.

(5). No harassing or disrespect of any staff member or member. If someone is seeing this happening please report to one of the admins and we will see that it gets handled in the proper manner.

(6). ABSOLUTELY No Cussing in the lobby at any time. Keep disputes of any kind out of the lobby, go to a table.

(7). Use of aimers or any style of cheating will not be tolerated. This includes boosting your ID. As aimers are NOT allowed or boosted ID's, the accusation of aimers directly or indirectly will NOT be tolerated, if you do not have proof then do not accuse. If these rules are broken, it will result in being placed in the penalty box or kicked from the league.

(8). One name per person. Duplicates will be removed. If there is more than one player playing from the same internet connection, please let the admins know. We do delete duplicate accounts, so if we are unaware of the situation, your account may get deleted.

(9). Spamming of the leagues url/addy is strictly forbidden in any other room but the leagues and then it is done by staff. A strict enforcement of this rule will be carried out by admin here. The 1st offense carries an automatic 5 days in the box. Any subsequent offense will result in a permanent ban from the league.

(10). We do NOT allow racing in puppys as we feel it creates more problems than anything else so you MUST report each league game you play one at a time. League games MUST be reported within 10 mins of the loss and always BEFORE you play any other league or tourney game. If not, an unreported match will be filed and a penalty will be put on player if not report within 24 hours. The 24 hrs is only in the case of internet problems. Failure to do this will result in boxing or if there is a persistent failure to report you will be booted from the league.

(11). You can play up to a maximum of 2 tourney or other games at same time as long as you do not hold up any of the games you are in unfairly, if this happens in a tourney the TD will DQ you and award the win to your opponent.

(12). First and foremost in any tourney the TD's decision is final, if you have a problem with the TD's decision then the route to take is - 1st The TD themselves, at a table or in messenger NOT the lobby. If no agreement then, 2nd Any HTD available, again if no agreement then, 3rd The co-head, then if no agreement the Head Admin.

(13). All games are to be played on protected tables unless otherwise stated in the tournament rules.

(14). Timers are 10 minutes.

(15). If the 8 ball is sunk on the break in any game it is an automatic rerack.

(16). Never force forfeit a game. Use the wait or have someone assist to cancel. If you do force forfeit then you will receive time in the penalty box and you will play the person you did that to and lose to give back points you stole.

(17). When in a tournament, the first player to invite their opponent is the top bracket player and the 1st name you will see in the parings in the lobby. If their opponent (2nd player named in pairs) declines an invite, they will be put on a timer until they accept the initial invite.

(18). Be respectful to those that are playing. You may watch other games if the players are ok with it, if you are not sure, ask them.

(19). Caps are reserved for TD's hosting tourneys only; please do not use caps unless you are hosting a tourney. In an emergency situation the Admins will step in and use caps.

(20). All tables are to be protected, not private. This is so a TD may intervene for a timer if table host is frozen, or for any problems. There is also no swearing allowed at tables, IM, or in lobby at any time. If you repeatedly swear, you WILL be boxed.

(21). The ONLY yahoo glitch we will correct is the stick change (when yahoo takes away a players turn for no reason). If this happens you WILL tap the cue ball and give turn back to rightful shooter and they do NOT get BIH. If you fail to give turn back then, you will face being boxed.

(22). There will be NO use of BIH or Safety's in any league games or tourneys.

(23). When playing in any of the interleague(s) that puppys bugin is a member of. You are representing our league and must set forth a good example of our league. If you get into trouble while playing in an interleague event, you will also be penalized on home ladder level.

• Inactivity
  • Members in the Top Ten must play a League match at least once every 30 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!
