Tournament posting Rules:
| If you are posting in a lobby for an upcoming tournament, you can post a notice a maximum of once every 10 minutes.
|
| You can increase the rate to once every 2.5 minutes in the last 10 minutes before the tourney starts.
|
| Do your best to alternate posts with other tourney announcements. That is don't post right after someone's post about an other tourney wait at least one minute before you post yours.
|
| Don't post the same tournament as an other player...in fact, it's best if the TD or someone appointed by the TD handles all the posting.
|
| If a guard asks you to stop posting or asks you to adjust your posting, do so.
|
You as a player have two tools to help you with issues that might arise on the server:
| 1.You can opt to block your viewing of a player's chat by using the "mute" option. To access the MUTE right click on a player and choose mute.
|
| 2.You can vote to remove a player from a game if a player is not abiding by the rules below. Again, right click on a player and choose "vote to kick" . However please use kick as a last resort as that player will be penalized for abandoning a game.
|
|
Lobby guards will also try to help... if you get muted by a guard... don't take is personally, they are trying to give you a chance to cool off. Mutes are only temporary, so just wait it out and be polite.
