Lobby: Keep problems out of the lobby! When possible,
take the player to a table and try to resolve the situation there. Please
let an admin know what has happened.
As hosts, it is our responsibility to keep everything moving smoothly.
As such, you are expected to be an example to follow. Complaining about
pogo or other players in the lobby is not a good example.
You are a host now! Please do not ask "member"
questions in the lobby. Follow the standings for yourself.
General Hosting: You need to remain active. This
includes hosting every 4-5 days unless there are special circumstances
that you have spoken with Admin about. We are a team. If a TD
is a no-show or not running macros, please pitch in and help out.
Please be in the room, ready to host at least 15 minutes prior to the
beginning of your tourney.
If you can not be present for a scheduled tourney, please notify an
Admin or other head td ASAP. Your tourneys might be moved and replaced
if time allows. Always let an admin know if you are moving or
deleting a tourney on the day its set.
Please don't set tourneys and then ask others to run them unless you are
faced with an emergency.
Please delete tourneys that do not run.
Using the "Email TD" option on your TD center should be for
league purposes only. This email goes to the TD and all head TDS.
You are allowed to play in other tourneys if you are hosting. However,
please have another host available to assist you if necessary. Your
playing while hosting should never hold up either tourney. If
complaints are received, you will no longer be allowed to play while
hosting.
Make the Call! You are the host and your decision is final. If
you need assistance or "backup" please contact an Admin
immediately! Never debate an issue in the lobby. Make the
decision, stick to it and move on! If a player continues to question
your decision, please take it to a table.
If a table is set wrong, please request the players to start over. If
the game has finished with the wrong game set, winner stands.
Scheduling: When scheduling tourneys, do not block more than 3
hours at a time with out first talking to Admin if your hosting a
special of some sort. The exception to this are the overnight
tourneys. Please set all 4 tourneys in the hour when you set
and do not leave the :15 or :45's open for someone.
Tourney Variations: Set a variety of tourneys! Never set the same
tourney back to back as the members will get bored. Check the tourney
calendar before and after your own tourneys. First tourney
sets, gets the priority.
Canceling Tourneys: For :00 and :30 tourneys, please wait 5-8 minutes
before canceling. :15 and :45 should be held open for 3-5
minutes. Waiting any longer puts the schedule into a tail
spin and it's hard to get back on time sometimes. Canceling a
tourney at the start time is only acceptable if there are NO jumpers at
the start time.
Please delete un run tourneys.
Macros: Please setup your macros prior to the start time of your
tourneys. Advertise the current open tourney. After that
closes, begin advertising for the next tourney, even if it's another
host's.
Please be mindful not to double macro in the lobby. Watch for
other hosts and their tourneys. When a report comes in for another host,
it's not a good time to run your ad macro!
Multiple macros in the lobby can be confusing for members and hosts can
lose reports.
Weekend &
Special Tourneys:
Every other Saturday
is Rapid Rank. That same weekend, on Sunday, is No5's Sunday.
On No 5's Sunday only, every top of the hour tourney should be some sort
of No 5's game at 100 buxs.
Please set the half hour tourneys (:30) as large tourneys too and these
can be 100 buxs.
The other Sundays in the month are called Wacky Sunday. Hosts
may be a little more creative with tourney settings. No5's
can be set at any time, but please remember to keep a balance schedule
with a mix of tourneys. Be creative! Members love
trying new tourney ideas! (If you have an idea but unsure how it might
work out, please contact an admin prior to setting
it so you can try it out!)
Special Tourneys: Please review the specials listed on the main
page to avoid "double scheduling".
If you would like to host a weekly or daily special, please let an admin
know.
No5's – All odd hour tourneys should be set as No5's.
All top hour tourneys should be 100 buxs! Examples of large
tourneys are:No5's, 250 Check, Double Eliminations, Swiss, etc. If
you are unsure whether your tourney would classify as a "large
tourney", just ask!
Team Tourneys - We host a lot of team tourneys. Please
be in the lobby to "work" your tourney at least 15 minutes
before it's scheduled. You must pay attention and work with
members to get them teamed up or an even number or auto jumpers. DO
NOT close a team tourney until you have an even number of auto jumpers. Leave
team tourneys open 15 minutes after the scheduled start time before
canceling if you do not have enough jumpers.
OK, that's the nuts and bolts of hosting in PRP. We are very
happy to have you on board! If you have any questions, please contact an
Admin for clarification. You'll be hearing from one of us
about training and getting started SOON!
Happy Hosting! The Admin Team
