RULES FOR SABOTAGE 

2vs2 TOURNEY!

HOW TO PLAY SABOTAGE ONLY:
Captains sit first in opposite chairs like always. Their partners will pard with the opps captains. 
For example t_magnum/angie are Team 1; and twocute2bitch/dump_rattt  are Team 2.
The person who signs up team is the captain. T_magnum and twocute2bitch are team captains for this example. They sit first in opposite chairs and their pards pard with the opp's capt. Seating would look something like this:

The first team to 10 wins.
The CAPTAINS score is the one that counts. The strategy is for the captains to try and get points and for the non-capts to try and throw points to their capts. Because what points show on captains score is what counts.  The strategy is kinda like saying the captains play regular euchre and the non-captains play reverse. 
Lets say in first hand twocute orders trump and gets sets. The score would show t_magnum/dumpratt 2  twocute/angie 0. Team 1 is ahead because t_magnum is the capt and his score is the one that counts.
Lets say on next hand dump_ratt orders trump and although he tries to let his capt (twocute) set him (thus she would gain 2 points) t_magnum has lotsa trump and there fore they make it. Score now is tmagnum/dump_rattt 3; twocute/angie 0. Again Team 1 is still ahead. Next hand t_magunum orders up trump and gets set. Score t_magnum/dump_ratt 3; twocute/angie 2. Team 1 is still in lead.  Next hand dump_ratt orders trump and gets set. Now score is t_magnum/dump_ratt 2; twocute/angie 4. Team 2 has now taken lead.

The team captains score who reaches 10 first wins for his tourney team.

If this sounds confusing its not really once you start game.

Only rule is NO LONERS allowed.

Mistakes:
Any player going alone is team mistake.

MISTAKE RULE AND PLAYING IN ONE TOURNEY RULE:
One mistake allowed per team in team's first game of tourney (round 1 or round 2 for team's with byes.) Any mistake made in any game other than team's first game is auto DQ. 2nd mistake by team in team's first game is also auto DQ.
Call TD to table for all mistakes. Failure to do so may result in mistake not being verified and therefore not being counted against offending team.
If a player is still currently active in an ongoing tourney when pairings for round 1 for the next tourney - which same player has registered and checked in for - are announced in lobby then player (for 1 vs 1) or team (for 2 vs 2) will be removed from the second tourney without warning or discussion.
TD decisions are final.


GENERAL TOURNEY RULES:

You will need a partner.

NO PRIVATE MESSAGES of any kind are allowed once pairings are announced  indicating start of tourney (an instant DQ from tourney)! This includes but not excluded to yahoo, MSN, ICQ etc... 

Top team makes tables rated and protected. No private tables, please.

10 minute wait on freezes per team per round.  Please note: if  you are freezing constantly you may be asked to report the loss but the TD has final say over this. 
Players who are having computer problems and are holding up the the tourney will be asked to report loss of their game. Please make sure your system is working well before checking in to this tourney.
If you lose a partner please invite me to table to keep time.

This tourney is auto-report for ladder not the tourney. Please report loss to tourney page. 

No subs allowed.

No playing other games while playing in this tourney.

One table open at a time.

TD has final say over any problems that may arise in this tourney.

If a team does a force forfeit then the play will continue from the score that was posted. If a player does a force forfeit it is up to the TD to decide if they have to report the loss.

If there is any form of table talk before trump is called it is an automatic DQ. After trump is called, it is up to the TD to decide.

Most of all - have fun and please have respect for each player and all TDs in this tourney
