Welcome to Wolfes Canasta league. We play on Yahoo. Come join us in some tournaments. Our room is Weasel Way found under Social Tab. You can find a direct link to room on the left side of this page under Back Doors.

•·. League's Rules .·•

1.Please make sure that your Yahoo ID and your League ID match. The ONLY exception to this is for those people that have and sbcglobal name, you can exclude the sbcglobal or the .net part of your name if it is too long with it included. If it does not we will help you to correct the mistake so that they do match. Also with the YAHOO barring of names if a name is barred for a few days and not indefinatly that person may make a new ID to use while barred and NOT have to change it in league.

2.All members are only allowed one account per person. Any duplicate accounts will be deleted.

3.Members residing in the same household/house may not be partners in a doubles tourney, unless it is a cheaters doubles and or a tag team dbls. If a team is found to be in the same household/house the team will be DQ'd and removed from the tourney.

4.ALWAYS show respect to one another. This includes non-league people. Lobby chaos will NOT be tolerated. If a non-league member starts something IGNORE them. For any one of us to banter back and forth with them makes us no better than they are and it makes the league look bad. You will get ONE warning and then you will be boxed even if it is a NON league person. TREAT people the way you want to be treated even if they do not do the same. IF it is multiple league members causing an issue no matter who starts it all involved will be boxed. If a league member is using a different ID in the lobby to cause a problem and it is KNOWN to the admin that this is a league member that member WILL be boxed as if they were using their normal league ID.This includes staff, none of us is better than another. We are a team. No arguing in the lobby, either take it to a table or IM. Disruptive behavior in the lobby will result in, a warning for he first offense, 2nd offense will be 1 day in the box, 3rd offense will be 3 days in the box, 4th offense will be 10 days in the box, 5th offense will result in the kick and ban of your account. IM'S AND CONVERSATIONS AT A PRIVATE TABLE BETWEEN MEMBERS WILL NOT BE USED BY THE ADMIN IN ANY SORT OF PUNISHMENT OR DECISIONS ON BOXING **UNLESS** THE IM'S BECOME A FORM OF HARRASSMENT OR THREATENING. IN OTHER WORDS WHAT IS SAID IN IM'S BETWEEN THE MEMBERS IS PRIVATE AND NOT A LEAGUE MATTER.

5.If you have a league/member problem/issue that you can not seem to resolve on your own, please feel free to ask for the assistance of an ADMIN.

6.You may not FORCE FORFEIT in a game, NOT on yourself nor your OPP. This will result in a warning the first time if it happens again 1 day in the box no exceptions, 2nd offense will be 3 days in the box, 3rd offense will be 10 days in the box, 4th offense will result in the kick and ban of your account.

7.Yahoo has made it so that all yahoo accounts automatically have a strong profanity filter. This means that unless you change that setting all profanity will come out as symbols. If you change this setting you are subjecting yourself to profanity. We will no longer box accounts for profanity in the lobby. We would however like to remind members that profanity is offensive to most, so please don't use profanity in the lobby or at game tables. Please try to respect your fellow league members. If you are a member that is offended by profanity or have children at the computer please click on options in the lobby and set your profanity filter at high so that any profanity used in the lobby will not be seen by you.

8.League games need to be reported A.S.A.P. If you have problems reporting a match please ask an Admin to assist you. If you fail to report a league match within 1 day after the match was played, you will be warned for the 1st time, 2nd offense will be 1 day in the box, 3rd offense will be 3 days in the box, 4th offense will be 10 days in the box, 5th offense will result in the kick and ban of your account.
9.We gladly welcome staff from other leagues that may wish to play here, however HA's will not be allowed to TD for us and Admin from other leagues (unless a league of a different nature ie:not a canasta league) will only be allowed on staff as TD's only.

10.DQ's there are NO restarts on a DQ!! HOWEVER, if a DQ happens and all parties agree the play CAN CONTINUE. if play is continued the DQ is VOID!!

11.Slow play there is a 30 second count from discard to discard. This means from the time one player discards until the next draws, plays and discards. Two warnings, the third warning will result in a DQ. The excuse "I am playing in more than one game", is NOT a valid excuse for slow play. A TD that is spamming or has just run pairs and needs to run rules at tables will be given a little extra time because of the spamming and not being able to do anything else when spamming.

12.Leauge members can be registered in as many games as they like at one time. However they can only be playing at a table in 2 at one time (an example if a member is in the DE and waiting they can play in 2 other tourneys while they wait). If you are found to be PLAYING at 3 tourney tables at one time you will be placed on a timer and risk timing out in the last tourney posted. This applies to dbls swiss games as well, so please don’t be unfair to your partner by jeopardizing them DQ’ing also, a sub will NOT be gotten if you are already in two tourneys, you will play the DBLS and take a timer on one of the singles games. A hosting TD may host TWO tourneys at a time and play in one. A TD may host one tourney every 45 minutes,a HTD can host every 30 minutes, however if there is a complaint about the HTD/TD slow playing, not paying attention to or making mistakes at their tables the HTD/TD in question will have limitations put on them. NO HTD should EVER have more then 4 tourneys open and a TD should EVER have more than 2 tourneys open.

13.BRB and MIA's AND AUTO WINS - if you need a BRB please state the time next to the BRB at the table. After 2 minutes gone on a BRB you become MIA. You have a TOTAL of 10 minutes BRB and MIA However if the person MIA has booted from the lobby the time will be extended to 15 minutes total time. THE 15 MINUTE RULE ***ONLY*** APPLIES IF THE PERSON HAS BEEN IN THE LOBBY/AT TABLE AND HAS GONE LINK DEAD AND THEN POOFS FROM THE LOBBY. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO PEOPLE NOT IN THE LOBBY AT THE START OF GAME OR IN THE LOBBY AND UNRESPONSIVE BUT HAVE GOOD PING!!! THIS CHANGE WILL REVERT BACK TO A STRAIGHT 10 MINUTES SHOULD IT BECOME AN ABUSED ISSUE. IF ANY ONE PERSON IS FOUNd CONSTANTLY POOFING AND USING THE 15 MINUTES THAT PERSON WILL BE CONSIDERED TO BE ABUSING THIS CHANGE AND BE WARNED AND POSSILBY BOXED IF IT CONTINUES. If you time out you will be DQ'd. NO more than 3 brb per per son per game. A total of 10 minutes BRB/MIA per person/team per game. On a Dbls game a sub will be found after 5 minutes, IF no sub is found, no sub is wanted or no sub is available then the team will time out and DQ after another 5 minutes, equaling a total of 10 minutes. In a swiss if a complete team times out one round and are not in the lobby for the beginning of the next round the TD will remove that team from the remaining rounds. If someone needs to leave, the TD will ask that the table be cancelled at the win will go to the opp. There is no need for MIA in this circumstance. In a game that can have a possible auto win such as "FIREBALL, SINNERS & SAINTS, SCARLETT LETTER and others not mentioned here) the game rules will be followed and the game will be cancelled!!

14.If a sub is used in a dbls game and the original player returns, the sub will complete the current hand and the original player may take their place back in the next hand. However should a sub be needed to start a dbls game, that sub will continue and play the entire game even if the original member returns, should that team win and go on to the next round the original person, not the sub, will play the next round.There must always be one original member of a dbls team. If for some reason there is a sub and the remaining original player has to go that team will take the loss. In a 3x3 4x4 5x5 6x6 if a sub is needed for any part of the team be it the singles or the dbls a sub may be gotten as it is all a team.

15.All games are played with kibbys off (unless the game specific rules state otherwise). If you do NOT turn your kibbys off and you are asked to by the TD more than once the TD will ask for the play to be stopped and place you on MIA which will run until you turn off your kibbys. All tables are made private. No visitors are allowed at the tables. All TD's will leave their kibbys on during all games.

16.In a dbls game NO table talk or use of IM or PM with your partner. If you suspect someone of cheating DO NOT make any accusations. Bring the matter to the attention of the TD first, then a HTD or admin. Partners asking their partner if it is ok to go out OR go out/wait, is NOT considered table talk. Discussion at the table after the hand is played about your hand is NOT considered table talk or cheating.

17.First name invites and sits at table first. HOWEVER, if the first name person does NOT make table within TWO minutes of pairings the second name will make table and get the choice of seat. The ONLY exception to this is if the first name is a TD that is currently hosting and unable to make table due to hosting. In this case the TD will ask the second name to make the table and the first name will still get seat choice. It is the players responsibility to watch the lobby for pairings and if the table hasnt been made in TWO minutes to make a table if you are the second name. The TD does NOT have to ask in the lobby for the second name to make. At the two minute point if neither name has invited the TD to a table both names may be placed on MIA. It is a curtosey that TDS ask in the lobby for the second name to make.

18.All singles games have a time limit of 45 minutes. All Dbls NO TOUCH games have a time limit of 45 minutes and doubles TOUCH games will have the 60 min time limit. If a game is nearing the time limit, the TD will announce to the players that they are nearing the time limit and that the game will end when the current hand is completed. Games are NOT to be cancelled for time in the middle of a hand.

19.Do not start game play until the TD is at the table and has spammed the rules and the start time. ONLY the WINNERS must stay at the table until the TD says gg. In the case of a DQ ALL players must stay at the table until the TD says please cancel.

20.Although we cannot force it, good sportsmanship is encouraged, it is common courtesy to say GH, GG, NR333 etc. We do expect our TD's to exhibit this behavior when they are playing. We can not expect the members to do it if we ourselves do not do it when we are playing.

21.We are not the ID police however Cases does have rules about ladder names which we will uphold. If you are unsure of the Case's rule it can be found at the main menu under ladder rules, account rules.

22.If you are interested in becoming a TD here you must have played in at least 20 league games, unless you are a returning TD.

23.In a game that is more than 2v2 {ie:3v3 4v4 5v5 6v6} if any member of a team DQs that person or team part of the team as a whole will receive 0 pts and the person or team they were playing will receive 5000 pts. DQ = 0 Win = 5000

24.We cannot stop people from making and holding tables. However in league games a new table is to be used / played on each round. It is not against the rules to make tables in advance, nor is it against the rules to make tables until you "like" the table you have.

25.If a table is made incorrectly, game play will stop and the table will be cancelled as soon as the mistake is noticed. It doesn't matter if they are on the first hand or the last. A new table will be made the score from the previous table will be carried over to the new table. Game play will start with the remaining time left and will end when the time is up, if the game is not complete the player/team with the high score at the end of the remaining time will be the winner. If however the table should have been made for 2 canastas and was made for 1 and it is found that the table was made wrong in this instance and only in this instance if both members and the host agree that from that point forward the game will be played 2 nastas to go out and should either member go out with only one they will be DQ'd.

26.CHEATING ...... 1.Unless you have ABSOLUTE PHYSICAL proof of someone cheating we do not want to hear about it. If someone IM's or PM's you about their cards you MUST take a screen shot of it for ANY action to be taken by the staff. Heresay is NOT proof and will not be acted upon by the staff. IF someone comes to Cierras with concrete proof the following action will be taken: your account WILL BE kicked and banned from the league. 2.Admission of cheatin is NOT allowed. (this includes comments that are made jokingly, throwing in a lol, lmao or j/k will NOT cover it). First offense will result in your account being kicked and banned from the league. NO EXCEPTIONS! 3.Please remember comments made whether joking or not about someone using a rumored program can be hurtful and should not be used at all. 4.If you think someone is cheating and do not like our wanting concrete proof please refer to cases and their rules on cheating. One program that is free and easy to use for screen shots is called printkey the link for it is: http://www.webtree.ca/newlife/printkey_info.htm Download the free version This is YOUR league. Treat others as you want to be treated. Please TRY to remember there is a real person on the other side of the screen. The things you say can hurt someones feelings. No one deserves to be abused. Our staff are all volunteers. If you publically or privatley berate, abuse or harrass a TD or cause disruption in a TD's tourney that TD has the right to remove you from their tourneys or not allow you to join their tourneys. We all come to play a card game and have fun. We should be able to relax and get along and act like adults. If you have suggestions please feel free to let RadCierras know. If you would like to see a game added to our games rules, you can send RAdCIerras an IM or email with the rules and they will be considered. Good Luck and Have Fun.
