League Rules ♥
Start Of The Game:
The TD must be present at table and have given the rules before a game may be started. Unless otherwise stated on lobby with pairings.
Making of the table:
It is expected that tables be made no more then one min after all pairings are posted each round
If the table does not get made after one min the Td will ask the second name in pairings to make. In this case the player who failed to make will be put on timer.
If this should take place the member who did make is intitle to sit first and choice of sub if needed .
When making table will always be protected, in the case that non league players get to sit before table is protected please ask them nicely to stand. If they do not then you may boot.
Do not boot any member from table unless asked to do so by the player or staff.
Playing In Multiple Tourneys:
Players may not participate in more than one game/tournament at the same time as players, or subs. This rule extends to other league tournaments as well, you cannot be in a Valley Tourney and a tourney in another league. Exception: Admin may sub if needed in a second trny. Players who have a bye in one tournament may not sub in another tournament/play in another game, it is an intant dq. Do not register is an upcoming trny if you are in the previous, as sometimes the trnys run over the hour.
Table Talk;
If there is any form of table talk before trump is called it is an automatic Dq. After trump is called, it is up to the TD to decide.
Fast Play:
Fast play is a must
If you are holding up a game and your ping is fine
the Td Will issue out warnings
After two warnings you will be dq"d. If your ping is bad then Td will start timer.
If you say brb at the table a timer will start

Each player is permitted up to five (5) minutes per tourney
for freezes, mias, brbs, or anything that disrupts the flow of play.

A mistake in finals will result in dq for player in 1V1 or for team in 2V2 and 3v3
GENERAL TOURNEY RULES
Kibbies will remain off during games unless host TD specifies they are to be on.
Some Valley games it is possible for more than one person to have what is required
to win, such as 4 of a kind or full house for example. In this case unless Game Rule
states otherwise, the person to type in chat first wins.
When a sub is required, it is preferable you ask a member not playing at that time,
but the host may sub if member requests them. Bots are not to be used
as a sub unless in the bots quickie game.
WE DO NOT FORCE FORFEIT
If a player FF a game they are automatically DQ"ED.
Adult League:
Although we call ourselves an adult league, there is no rule saying there is an age requirement. Calling Valley and adult league we want to WARN MEMBERS THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE 'EXTRA CONSIDERATE' & MINDFUL OF MINORS. FOUL LANGUAGE NOT MONITORED
Box/Ban Rules:
Box:
Please remember to be kind and courtious at all times. No lobby arguing will be tolerated. It is a reflection on our league.
Remember to respectful to staff and your fellow members. If an arguement occurs with a member or non league loungers, you will be asked to stop by staff member. After two warnings you will be boxed. Days of box is Staff decision.
Ban:
This is Admin team decision.
.
Most of all
have fun and treat each player in the manner you would like to be treated
