**Words of Wisdom**
CONFLICTS: LEAVE ALL BAGGAGE AT THE DOOR WHEN YOU T.D. IF YOU DONT GET ALONG WITH SOMEONE THEN KEEP CONVERSATION TO MINIMUM -IF THEY ARE TRYING TO BAIT YOU THEN BE AWARE OF IT. LET AN ADMIN KNOW AND THEY WILL TALK TO THEM; THEY WILL BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO SPEAK AS WELL AS ANY OTHERS INVOLVED. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ENFORCE RULES ON ANYONE (THOUGH HAVE CONSIDERATION FOR THOSE WHO YOU KNOW MAY BE GETTING READY TO RUN A TOURNY RIGHT AFTER YOURS AND SPEAK UP IF YOU ARE IN THAT POSITION TO T.D. ON DUTY) CAPS ARE FOR THE T.D. ON DUTY, T.D. WITH FOLLOWING TOURNY, HEAD TD'S/ADMINS FIXING A PROBLEM, AND THE HEAD ADMIN! - PLAYERS USING CAPS CAUSE CONFUSION LET THEM KNOW TO LOWER CAPS IN A COURTEOUS FASHION. IF THEY WANT TO KNOW WHY - TELL THEM IT CAUSES CONFUSION - IF THEY ARE BEING SMART-AZZED ABOUT IT TELL THEM IT IS MAIDEN LEAGUE POLICY SO IF THEY DONT LIKE IT GET OUT! PERIOD! DO NOT AGRUE WITH ANYONE ABOUT THIS JUST LET ADMIN KNOW. (FOLKS HAVING BAD DAY MAY BE GIVEN PASS - MORONS WILL JUST BE BOOTED) LASTLY EVERYONE IS HUMAN; PLAYERS AND T.D.'S ALIKE, SO BE UNDERSTANDING IF SOMEONE JUST BLOWING OFF STEAM BUT MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT DIRECTING IT AT OTHERS NOT INVOLVED WONT GET THEM ANYONE'S LOVE.

**TD'S AND PLAYERS ARE TO PUT DISRUPTIVE ID'S ON IGNORE - NO IF'S AND'S OR BUT'S.**

SPAMMING AND PRE-TOURNY SET UP

To speed tourny start times and for successful tournies please follow these steps if you are not currently following them - they will speed folks into registration and increase participation.

1) at 40 minutes before tourny time spam pager - if you do not have pager access have someone spam pager for you. If you are someone with pager access and do not see spam at 40 minutes before the next tourny please take inititive and spam for the m.i.a. TD.
2)at 20 minutes before the next scheduled tourny spam again. Again if you do not see spam or know the TD in question is not available due to being offline or in a tourny game - take inititive and spam for them on pager and in lobby.
3) after the 1/2 hour mark spam lobby intermittently - at least once every 3 minutes
4) make a table that you will direct all persons to that need partners - let the lobby know this and as folks come into lobby asking let them know
5)at 20 - 15 minutes to tourny time log onto the pager and stay there.
6)when peple are looking to get into the tourny -- do not not pair them up at once (have them make teams till you have at least 6 (4 for the 5 pm) half team up)- have them make a team unless they specificaly ask to join a team or you know or they say they have difficulties registering- at this point put them in your standby list of available partners that you will use to fill out teams - if you know they have difficulties registering. If you have time( meaning all other teams are mostly in or have told you they are getting in) then put them in or ask someone to put them in on a particular team. if you see the td is busy talking to folks (you'll know because they wont be talking in the lobby) help them as they ask you. Remember - direct them to the table -using the lobby is inefficient and often works to cross purposes with the TD who knows who is truely available and who else is on hold on instant messages even if they are not in the room.
7)spamming pager only lets people know there is a tourny it does not encourage them to enter therefore at the fifteen minute mark ask individually lit id's if they would like to participate - do not stay on that one pager window waiting! ask a number of them at the same time. example: -open window say " up for tourny? -open next window say " up for toruny?" -open next window say " up for tourny" - continue with this process -after your have asked the question some will have answered most will not have thinking it is not for them individually. -at that point buzz the various boxes -some will answer. those that have not answered send message "yes/no?" -remember anything but yes or no is NOT an answer -if they say yes and want to "p" someone let them know you will get team info for them
8)If there are people who have partners already and are going to make a team have them make the team a.s.a.p. check and make sure they have - if they are waiting for someone tell them to make the team in the meanwhile so tourny can proceed asap when time comes. this will help you know who is where and what is going on.
9)if last tourny is in finals go to the table and ask if any want in and put them in to fill out teams as needed. At this point you can start combining any half teams left. encouge folks to register early - it works -- literally say "register early"
10) lastly if tourny started more than 10 minutes late start round 1 and 2 at the same time and all matches for all tournies (except in rare cases) are to be started as the matches become available - do not wait for a whole round to be completed before starting the next round if matches are availbale - again this is for tournies that start more than 10 minutes late.
