FULL LEAGUE RULES
If you ever have any questions about any of these rules, please contact an Admin.
1. CODE OF CONDUCT -
Be respectful to all at your table. Although the table conversation is private, all players must agree to the tone and content of the conversation. Please refrain from inappropriate talk or verbal sparring in the lobby, at the game tables, or in pm's. It is every member's responsibility to see that KE remains a pleasant and fun place for all to enjoy. You may not bait, insult, or harass a player, admin or TD. READ FULL RULES.
2. PRACTICE GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP -
We ask that members always use good sportsmanship when playing in league games and tournaments. We would appreciate saying Good Luck (gl) Good Hand (gh) Good Game (gg). Good sportsmanship also includes finishing any game that you start. Repeated issues of bad sportsmanship, including leaving games when losing, will result in being boxed for 3 days. READ FULL RULES.
3. IDS MUST MATCH -
Your league ID must match your Safe Harbor ID. You cannot play in a tournament if these are not the same. READ FULL RULES.
4. IM's ANYONE -
While IM's can be private, they are not always. Some members can and will send Log Chats to Admins. When this happens, this means that your private conversation is no longer private. Understand that when you are in IM's you are still expected to be respectful. READ FULL RULES.
5. POST WIN/LOSE IN LOBBY -
PLEASE REMEMBER TO POST IN LOBBY WHEN YOU WIN OR LOSE A GAME. INCLUDING GAME NAME. IT HELPS THE STAFF GREATLY.
EXAMPLE: GG JOE I LOST SOS TO MERRIE TYFT EMMY

we will remove the ID that is used the least. READ FULL RULES.

9. HARASSING IS NOT TOLERATED -
DO NOT at any time harass or attack any player on this league, pm's, or at the tables! This will not only get you booted from the lobby and 3 days boxed until ADMINS can decide the punishment. No one likes being attacked. If this happens please ask for an Admin and let them handle the situation. Do not interfere as this might get you caught up in it as well.
10. CHEATING -
There is No cheating, it will not be tolerated. If you are found to be cheating you will be dq'd from the game and will be boxed for 3 days until ADMINS can decide the punishment. Anyone accusing without physical proof such as screen shots another player of cheating at a table or in the lobby will automatically receive 5 days (first offense) in the penalty box. If you suspect a player(s) of cheating you should message the TD or Admin. If you have proof take screen shots at the table.
11. KIBITZING -
There is no watching or Kibitzing at tables that are currently in progress.
Exception to the rule: The Battles ask the TD.
12. DQ -
DQ is a DQ and game is canceled.
Exception to this rule is if it happens in 1st hand all may restart the game if all parties agree to this. If 1 of the players disagree to restart then the game is over, and it is a DQ. THE TD MUST BE CALLED TO THE TABLE IF THERE IS A DISPUTE BEFORE ANY ACTION WILL TAKE PLACE.
13. SLOW PLAY -
Slow playing is 40 seconds timed from discard to discard. Failure to play quickly will result in 2 warnings, 3rd time you will be DQ'D. Please keep BRB's to a maximum of 3 minutes and no more than 2 BRB's per game.
A sub is required if BRB will be over 5 minutes. At no time may a player ask for a sub, this is the hosts responsibility to handle the timer and the sub recruitment.
YOU MUST CALL TD IN CHARGE OF THE TOURNAMENT, OTHERWISE THE TD CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
14. PLAY TIMES -
In order to keep things moving along, we have a time limit on our games: 60 minutes for doubles, 45 minutes for singles, and 15 minutes for speed-type games (any game listed in the Speed section of our TD Help page).
15. BOOTED -
Please post the time of boot in the lobby and let the TD know. If using time under a minute in length is not considered a BOOT.
16. TABLES -
Here at KE you do not have to get a new table every time you start a game. Don't click start until everyone is seated at the table.
17. RESIGNING -
There is NO Clicking resign button by members.
18. AUTO WINS -
In all Auto Win games, when you have the auto win, play must STOP. If you discard you lose auto win. The Td does not have to be called to the table.
19. GIVING WINS -
Giving wins in tournaments is NOT ALLOWED. If you do not intend to play a tournament, please do not join. You have to play the hand out and if you win 1st round then you can give win
20. 3 GAMES ONLY -
Players are only allowed to play in 3 League/Tournament Games at one time. This is any day of the week and it does include playing in another lobby.
21. BRB -
If you go BRB, please post BRB in the chat of the game table. When your opponent says BRB, if you feel that they will not be back within 3 minutes, please alert the hosting TD right away.
22. REQUESTING A TOURNAMENT -
You may request a tournament at anytime. As staff we are pleased to try and give our members a happy and fun playing experience. Requested tournaments are left open for 45 minutes, after which time it may deleted or moved up depending on how many are in it. Please keep in mind that just because you want to play a particular game doesn't mean that everyone wants to. We ask that if you request a tourney you are willing to wait the allotted time for it to fill and run. Lately it has become far to common place for a member to request a tourney then leave after 10 - 15 minutes of it not filling right away. That is not fair to the staff that is going out of their way to make you a special tour while hosting and running other tours at the same time. For that reason the original requestee must be in the tournament when it closes. If you are not in the the tournament when it is closed, you will be given a warning. If you receive 2 warnings then the staff reserves the right to refuse your future request and you may be boxed for 1 day.
PLEASE NOTE THESE RULES CAN BE MODIFIED AT ANY TIME UNTIL PENDING FINAL APPROVAL BY THE FULL STAFF.
