*Update To
league Rules are as Follows*
As per Mplayer
Rules and Regs we need to keep names that maybe offensive
to the general population out of the league. We ask all
Players to make sure that their name would not be taken
offence to by the General population of Mplayer as these
names could be banned from Mplayer and could make the
League look Bad.
People With more
than 1 AGSL name need to pick the 1 name you will be
using from this point on. It is getting far to difficult
for the ADMIN stuff that we do as well as Stats, To try
and figure out everybody's different names. There has
been discussion about the AGSL names with numbers in
front of them and these are not the names in question
here. The Numbered names such as 1AGSL-Flirtn4Fun or 2AGSL-MaBear
are designation names so that people know who the board
members and hosts are if there is a problem they need to
discuss. What this is addressing is , For example:
You have an AGSL-IRule
name and then also have an AGSL-IRock name than this is
what we are talking about. If you could please choose one
name and let us know that this is the name you are going
to keep so that we can keep good accurate records of
games won and such for the stats. Thank you all for your
understanding and co-operation in the matter and Have Fun
Folks!!!

Table Talk - This is defined as saying something to your
partner or other players that alters his or her current
strategy during the hand. Table Talk is not allowed, if
there is a question regarding what is and isn't
acceptable, please contact a Board Member. Any team
guilty of Table Talk shall forfeit the game regardless of
the score. What would be table talk would be
saying,but not limited to, 'Bag 'em Pard', Duck, TRAM, NN(before
the end of the hand), or something similar as you are
playing the hand. GLP, GLA, GLE, GLN,CMAP, CMP, are
acceptable as they do not alter anything since they a
said at the start of a game or hand.The Definition of
start of hand is the period of time when all four members
at the table play their first card. Which means that if
any of the acceptable things are said during the time all
four players are playing their first card it is ok .
After all four players have played their first card it
can and will be taken as Table Talk. *These
things said in the middle of a hand could be and will be
taken as Table Talk so do everybody a favor and don't say
them during the hand..*
Remember, it would be saying something that alters your
partner's current strategy during the hand. A helpful tip
is just don't talk about the cards or the hand in play.
Talk about anything but the hand in play. NN is
acceptable only at the end of the hand. GLN is only
acceptable at the start of the Hand.
