General Tournament Rules: Mistakes:

• You're allowed 1 mistake during your 1st round (this is for our underprivileged mountain folk)
  
  
• The opposing team captain chooses to skip or play the hand. (as long as playing doesn't change the concept of the game).
  
  
• If skipping, all players skip until person chosen is the dealer.
  
  
• 2nd mistake is auto DQ (because you didn't learn from your 1st mistake)
  
  

MIA, timing and subs:

• 2v2 = 10 minutes per team
  
  
• 1v1 = 10 min per person
  
• **After 5 min a sub will be chosen and game resumed
• **Player still has a total of 10 to get back and timing will continue in lobby if game is finished)
  
  
• Bot = 5 min per player per tourney

Swiss and Double Elimination Tourneys:

• Swiss Tournaments you play ALL rounds win or lose.
  
  
• NO Mistakes are permitted in Swiss Tournaments
  
  
• Double Elimination you need to lose 2 games to be out of the Tourney

General:

• There will NEVER be another comment, pout, or whine regarding Tables. IT IS TABOO! (use common sense or get whipped)
  
  
• TD must be invited to the table for any mistakes or problems.
  
  
• Tourney losses must be reported by the losing 2v2 team captain or each 1v1 player.
  
  
• No kibitzing, telephones, messengers, cams of any kind.
  
  
• No playing in any other games while you are active in tourney.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Respect each player and TD, we are here to have fun.
  
  
• TD has final say over any problems during this tourney.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF THIS LADDER:
COMMON COURTESY, COMMON SENSE, AND JUST THROW THE DANG CARD
