HOW TO REGISTER FOR A TOURNEY
So you have now joined The Black Hole and you are ready to play a tourney and you haven't a clue how to, please find the help here. There are a few ways to join or as we say jump a tourney. If you are in lobby and see a host advertising a tourney you can go to the main page at www.myleague.com/theblackhole Login on the top right side of page. Then scroll down to "Tournament Events", and you will see a list of all the tourneys for that particular day click on "Register" on the right hand side of the one you would like to join and viola, you have succesfully registered for that tournament. Another way is to again go to the main page, scroll down to "Tournament Events", and you will see a list of all the tourneys for that particular day click on the Tourney Director's name, click register, fill in with your name and password but this time you must remember to check the 'I have read rules ' box. There are several ways to register, try these first, if you don't succeed, ask for help.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A TOURNEY
It is all very new to you and you feel that you don't know what you are doing. Don't worry we have been there before please make yourself known to the host. We understand you will have a load of questions about how to play in a league.
TRI-PEAKS TOURNEY'S
WHO DO I PLAY - The host once they have closed registration will come back and tell you who your opponents are.
HOW DO I PLAY - You will be playing 1 vs. 1. You will play 3 HANDS, each hand consisting of 1 run through the deck.
You will have 10 minutes to report your wins. Report your wins in chat like so: Host name**********# GAMES WON.
In the event of a tie, each player plays 1 hand until the tie is broken.you will have 3 minutes to report.
At the 5 minute warning Please Refresh by exiting room and enter again and DO NOT PLAY.
All players will be refreshed and ready to play at the 2 minute warning.
Registration will be closed at the 2 Minute Warning. If not in the room at that time, player will be pulled from tourney, NO EXCEPTIONS.
Refreshing after the 2 minute warning will count as 1 boot.
Not reporting your wins within the 10 minute time, or if booted during tourney, you will be given 1 boot.
Reasons for being disqualified 2 BOOTS, YOU WILL be PULLED from the tour!
If you have any questions feel free to ask!!!!
*** ANY issues will be handled to the best of the Hosts discretion!***
Please allow the HOST to make their decision, and run the tour! THANKS!
Rules are always run in chat before the start of each tourney please make sure you are in room before start of tourney.
TOURNEY ETIQUETTE
We have some tourney etiquette rules in The Black Hole. Mostly they are common sense and courtesy. The only person in league that uses caps are the hosts and admin please as a player don't caps as can confuse members. We ask that you aren't rude to your fellow players in The black Hole. Please don't be rude to the hosts they are there so that you can play and give their time freely and willingly completely voluntarily. Please don't leave a table because you are losing it is unsportsmanlike to do so
SOLICITATION OF MEMBERS
Direct solicitation of members of other leagues is highly discouraged and will result in sanctions against MY League. At no time may you solicit members of other leagues via E-mail or in the lobbies of other Leagues. ANY MEMBER CAUGHT DOING THIS WILL BE BANNED.
LEAGUE RULES
THERE IS A 3 STRIKE RULE FOR BAD/DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOUR We don't tolerate any bad behaviour; firstly you are told, secondly you are warned, thirdly you will be dq'd from tourney and possibly even be banned .
If you get booted from pogo at anytime in a game you have 10 min's to get back to table and be sitting. If you poof 2 times in any one game you will be dq'd on the 2nd poof
Tourneys will not be held up for anyone we start on time if at all possible.

LADDER MATCHES
You may ladder as many times a day as you want but you can only ladder the same person twice in a 24hr period. The loser of the ladder must report the match now for easiness there is a box on main page scroll down and you will locate it next to the jump box or on the left hand side of page you can click on report loss.
No one from the same household may ladder one another.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!!
