Rules & Guidelines
Code of Conduct
To our valued players:
We want our games to be a positive experience for all players, fostering a positive and enjoyable atmosphere where everyone can compete fairly and have fun. To this end, it is essential that all players maintain appropriate behavior at the table.
Reactions to bad luck, perceived bad calls, or any table irritations must be handled calmly. Disruptive behavior, including making a scene, over-criticizing others, belittling, or excessive swearing, will not be tolerated. Consequences such as warnings, chip removal, suspension, or removal by venues or hosts may be enforced. If you feel frustrated or upset, please step away to cool off. If issues arise at the table, inform the host immediately.
We value and appreciate each of our players and are committed to creating a positive and enjoyable environment for everyone. Your cooperation and sportsmanship are key to our continued success. Thank you.
