TD Requirements
1. Currently there are no hosting limits. Host when you can. A week is from Sunday through Saturday.
Please pre-set your tournaments as much in advance as possible. Pre-setting helps Admins and other
TDs see what times need extra attention. Our goal is to have a full calendar as a priority. Remember
no slot blocking. Fill in your tourneys from the time you want to host until the time you want to
finish. Make blocks minimum of 1 hour and there is no maximum.
If you have not hosted for One Month
(without clearing it with the TD manager):
~1st offense, you will be placed on vacation and you must contact the TD manager to discuss.
~2nd offense, you will be removed from staff.
Of course we understand there will be times you cannot host. Let the TD manager know so these
rules can be waived.
2. Due to the fact we host so many tourneys and the lobby gets so confusing at times
there are certain hosting rules that we must insist you follow. These rules will be
supplied to you when you become a TD and it will be your responsibility to know them
and follow them.
3. We are a team. We are also the league leaders. We must work together without
conflict and show respect for each other and the members at all times. We do not
expect you to be best friends with everyone however you must be civil to all members
and staff. We cannot expect the players to be respectful if we ourselves are not.
4. ALL TDs must read emails, daily results and message forums.
~Daily Buzz - Go to our home page, click standings tab, click "Daily Buzz" (directly below the standing tab).
~Message Forums - Go to our home page, click community tab, click "Message Forums"
(directly below the community tab).
5. A TD needs to help new members with any problems that arise and help people join the
league. TDs should be nice and considerate to all the members of the league.
6. Make sure you pay attention to the lobby at all times. If you have to leave your computer
ask another TD if one is present to watch your tourneys for you. Also say BRB in lobby to the
members so they will know you are not at your computer.
~Should an emergency arise get a HTD or Admin to run your tourneys for you. Make sure they
know you are leaving before you leave the lobby.
7. A TD should inform all members to not go to the tables without their permission (KIBITZER / WATCHING),
if you don't inform the members then they will not know. All TDs do this differently. Members cannot
watch one another play.
8. TDs should be in the lobby at least 60 minutes
before their tourneys start
9. Please DO NOT try and help your fellow TDs in the lobby with posts. The chat in the lobby
is often so heavy it just adds to the confusion and causes posts and help for players to be missed.
If you believe the TD has missed something (give them a minute or 2 after you see it) then IM them
and ask.
10. Please be considerate of the TD hosting before you and do not start asking for players in yours
until theirs are running. You can always send them a message asking if you can advertise both of your
tournaments or vice versa (we are a team).
11. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE DO WE SPAM OUR LEAGUE INFO IN
ANY OTHER SAFE HARBOR LOBBY
~whether it's in your league name or any other name you may have on SAFE HARBOR you still can
NOT spam this info anywhere else but our lobby.
~If you see any other league advertising their league info in the Outsiders lobby: Please take
a screen shot, if possible, and get an ADMIN so it can be dealt with ASAP. If an admin
is not online either email them with the info and the name of the person that spammed it
or leave the admin an offline.
12. Always remember that the players have bad days (we do too but we must not let them see it).
Don't take these things personal as tomorrow they will love you as much as they did yesterday.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP DRAMA OUT OF LOBBY. PEOPLE COME HERE TO PLAY
AND HAVE FUN NOT TO LISTEN TO PEOPLES PROBLEMS WHETHER THEY ARE OURS OR THEIRS
