CANASTA GEMS
LEAGUERULES

1.We want to have good sportsmanship here, we are all
adults and should know what good sportsmanship means.
So be a good & polite,
sportsman.
We will not tell you what you can and can't do,
we will just tell you we want good sportsmanship......
Now it is up to you to be one,
just have it in the back of your heads,
if you upset too many members and get complaints
you will receive a warning email
and may end up in the box,
or even kicked from the league.
We are not babysitters,
so behave as an adult
or
take the punishment.

2.The lobby is our HAPPY ZONE!
meaning no fighting,
no swearing at staff
or members in a derogatory manner or way.
NO drama that will upset or depress others........
This rule also goes for our message forum........
forum is also our happy zone,
so no room for complaints

3. There will be a record of all players abandoning games the
Td will write down times the score and forward it
to admin...the players will then be spoken to
and given a warning if this continues
they will be boxed.

4. Only 3 Brbs during a game are allowed,
and no brbs should take more than 3minutes,
as this holds up the game,
so if your opponent goes on a brb and is gone for
3mins ask the Td to come to the table and put
a timer on.
Dont let your opponent wait more than top 30 sec
before you make your draw.

5.We will try and do something with slow play,
Admins will (when they have their hands free)
be jumping on and sitting on tables and watching some games when
a player are in 2 or 3 games.
So if a admin comes to your table,
it does not mean your opponent called for one,
or that you necessary are playing slow,
it ONLY mean that the admin saw that you or
your opponent are playing in more than one game,
and we want to try and make sure that all that join more than
one game can handle it (they have good speed)

6. Canastagems doesn’t allow that you play in more
than 3 games at the time. This rule also include league games.
So if u are in 3 games you are NOT allowed
to play a league game If caught playing in 4,
you will be dq'ed from the last tourney you joined.
This rule ALSO goes if caught playing in another lobby,
meaning if u play in 2 lobbies at the same time,
all together you are only allowed to play
in top 3 games
if you can keep the speed up.

9. When the td have said pairings you have 3 minutes to sit,
If you haven't made the table by then the hosting
td will tell your opp to make a table and sit first........
If your opponent hasn't made the table,
you may ask the td if u can make,
or if you just go and make,
you must invite the td to table
before you invite your opponent,
so the td can be sure it has gone 3 minutes from pairing.........
Timer goes on from pairing,
if not back in 10 minutes your opponent gets the win.

LEAGUE RULES 2:

1.Single Tourney: If your opponent gets booted /
leave table a timer will be set.
Ask in lobby for a timer or inv Td to table.
Timer is 10min If the player is not back
in 10min you advances to next round
( remember if you keep abandoning games you will end up in the box )

2.For Double Tourneys:
If a player get booted / leave table the team will
get a sub.The hosting td is the only one who should ask for
a sub when a player is booted If player
returns the sub must give the chair back.
If tourny has not started and one player is
missing a timer will be set 5min, if the player are not
back in 5min you will get a sub,
if both players in a team is gone a timer for 10 min wil be set.
and the sub will finish the game even if the player return.
The player that registered for the tourny will of course play
in round 2 of the tourny if they are back.
If a player booted 3 times, then sub finish game.
In a big bux doubles tourney,
In the finals kibitz is to be turned on
and an admin is to watch this game

Disqualified (DQ): If a person DQ's the win goes automaticly
to the other person even if it is in first hand.
So all please read the rules before registering for a tourney,
rules are on the tourney page under rules.
They can also be spammed on the table if that is wanted.
If it is a DQ is in the end of a game the
opponent can say they want to finish the game.
This way no one can dq on purpuse,
and the raiting points can be given.
BUT if the opponent decides to finish the game,
and the game turns around so the one that dq'ed ends up winning,
then they get the win for the game!!
