| These rules are put in place to acheive harmony among our players. They are also set forth with the penalties to put the responsiblity of your actions in your own hands. The rules are basic, fair and easy to follow, the penalties are the same. They are based on the things we all expect and want in a team and will make coming and playing a pleasant experience for everyone. |
| 1. Cheating will mean immediate removal from team and it will be reported with all evidence to Administration. |
| 2. If you have a complaint against a team or teamie save all chat, zms, lobby chat or table chat and turn in to the Captain. It is also appropriate to ask Administration to a table if needed if the Captain is unavailable. |
| 3. Do not argue or debate with Administration |
| 4. There will be absolutely no chastizing of a partner because they did not play to your specifications and there will be no spades lessons given without specific request of the person wanting them. So if you aren't asked for advice~don't give it or you will be penalized. |
| 5. Every one on our team partners with everyone.
This means that NO two (2) people play exclusively with each other. If there are 3 ready to play, we rotate. Anyone who has been sitting out should be first in line to play. If you are more concerned with your stats, then this is not the team for you. If it is determined you are picking and chosing your partners, you are subject to immediate removal from the TEAM. We are a TEAM here - and we play as one. There are plenty other teams out there who play with their favorite partners or exclusively for stats and to win - this is NOT one of them. If you are not rotated in please notify the Captain or one of the co-captains but be sure you have made your availablilty to play known |
| 6. TEAM CHAT
This chat is to be used when there are more than two people on line to arrange games. If you are not in the team chat, it is presumed you are not on line to play. If for some reason you can't gain access to the chat (i.e. puter problems), then it is up to YOU to let your teamies know you are on line to play. Repeated reminders of gaining access to the chat will result in penalties as seen fit. (Penalties below) If you are going to be away from your computer for 20 minutes or more, please leave the chat as a courtesy to your teamies - so they know who is playing and who is not. |
| 7. All Lobby & table chat and forum posts will be positive~ |
| 8. STALKING~if you sit and open at a table you are saying you are ready to play. If you are not prepared to play any team that sits~sit at a table that is opened by someone else. There will be no exceptions. |
| 9. Have a partner ready to sit with you before you sit and open at a table. |
| 10. All members of Oz will take their turn at reporting losses. |
| In addition, all Campfire Rules apply.
PENALTIES Co-Captains There are three co-captains. Their job is to enforce rules, example if you are not in chat they will request you come, if you avoid parding someone or do not rotate, you will be asked to. Penalties are in place as listed below, each request from a co-captain will be sent to me and the penalties will be enforced. In turn, if you see a co captain breaking a rule, report to me or the exe council which will in turn report to me and again the rule will be enforced. Co-Captains Bad_Guy~Coffee_Anyone ~Athena652 Executive Council Iceman_Ken~Ares ~ Bad_Guy ~ Dazzler Penalties for Rule & Conduct Infractions 1st Offense: Oral Warning 2nd Offense: Written Warning 3rd Offense: 3 Day Suspension 4th Offense: Removal from the Team (Any of these penalties may be bypassed if the situation warrants it) |
