Poor Sportsmanship:

Insinuating someone is cheating, harassing, rude or leaving tables without
reporting because you lost.
Could be a 1 day box offense if a complaint is filed with admin and is proven with
copied chat.

The AGT way to handle a complaint / problem about a player in our
league.

1) Copy the chat

2) Send it to YOUR cappy not admin (every team as a cappy the only time it should
go straight to the admin mail is if it's the cappy you had a problem with)
3) If your cappy feels it needs to go farther then they will send it to cappy of
the players you are having a problem with.

4) If they can not come up with a agreement between the two cappys, the next step
is the cappys will copy the meeting between the two cappys and send it to the admin
mail. Then at that time we will come up with a decision regarding how to handle
it..

5) Do not bypass any of the steps and just send the complaint to the admin mail or
it will just be sent back to you.

Our Admin mail address is alwaysagoodtime13@yahoo.com

Prefix

In AGT the prefix is not mandatory. It is up to the captains of each team if they
want to use a team prefix or not. Please choose a non-offensive
nickname.
If you chose not to use a prefix please state that at the table your on the team
and not a pal to avoid any confusion.

Calling anyone a Cheater:

Do not call anyone a cheater without proof.
Lagging doesn't mean cheating.
If you accuse a player of cheating, without proof, you will be boxed a minimum of 3
days.

Kibitzing

If you have a kibitzer, you can cover your cards with the eye next to your name
on the table, click it then a red X will show and your cards will be covered.(This
is your choice to cover or not)
Rule applies for both Regular and Tourney games.

Hands being played

All hands advertised for must be completed unless all four
players agree to discontinue game and report.
One player from each team MUST stay at the table until the report
is made. It would be favorable if all four players would stay but if you
MUST leave then please post it at the table that you need to leave.

Being on the roster

If a player is not on the team roster before the end of
the game being played then the PAL will be used when posting the loss or win.
(If team has no pal on roster its a NO game.)

Table Talk(TT) will not be allowed

1. If you chat at the table, be aware that anything you say
might be misinterpreted by the ops as table talk IF it could
affect the outcome of the game. Things that are considered TT are:
TRAM (the rest are mine), HELP, Catch me, Cover me, Bad hand,
Duck, Watch the Bags, Nice Bags P (any talk of bags before the hand
is over is not allowed).
Also if there are 2 nils on the table, no talk is allowed that would
reveal how many spades either of the nils has.

2. Things that CANNOT be said until the hand is Over: NCP, NNP, NNU2,
NBP, NBU2.

3. NSP, NSU2, NTP, NTU2 CAN be said after the set is made.

4. Gln (Good luck nil) is ok, but don't say cmp (cover me partner)
or glp (good luck partner) if you are nil. If your partner didn't see
your nil bid, too bad for you. Some people feel that saying glp is
warning your partner that you are nil. You can tell your partner
good luck, as long as the non-nil partner initiates to
chatter. You cannot bring attention to your nil bid.

5. Don't talk about the bags forcing your partner to notice bags.

6. Any other comments that my reveal your hand will result in a DQ.

7.You can say anything that has to do with Good Luck: GLN, GLU2,
GL9 things on that line.

Alt Misbid/Misplay

If a player misbids or misplays on the first hand,
it is up the ops to decide whether to play on, or reseat.
If a player misbid/misplays on any other hand, the misbid/misplay team
should report the loss.
In a tourney, misbids/misplays are allowed on the FIRST hand of the First round
ONLY.
This means, if you get a ‘bye’ for the first round, then the second round is YOUR
first game and hand.
In reg, there is no misbid/misplay.
Check game rules for any exceptions/changes to this rule.

Booted

You have 5 minutes to return from a Boot. Your partner at table has 5 minutes to
either find a sub or use a bot if applicable to the game being played.If your
partner does not find a replacement before time is up, your team forfeits the game.
If the original person is able to make it back to the table, they may return to
game hold last card. If booted 3 times, the original player may NOT return. The
partner has 5 minutes to find a sub,(or use bot when applicable) or game is a
forfeit. Booting from the room and coming right back doest not count for a boot.
The person who played most of the game will get the credit for a table game.
(the original person or the sub).

BRB

BRB: A be right back (brb) should only be taken before the last card is played.
Ask for the last Card to be held and then take the BRB.
Please remember to be considerate of others and show good sportsmanship as
emergencies do occur and this is not always possible.
You should also be considerate of others on the table and keep brb's to a minimum
and non-emergency BRB's should only be on a hold last card (HLC).
BRB's cannot exceed five minutes. If you think your BRB will take longer than five
Minutes, please post this at the table or find a sub. Please keep BRB's to a
minimum while in a game.

If you do not hold last card for the brb when you return you can not nil. If last
card was held then you may nil.

Default for a game

All alt games are 8 hands if not posted during addy (by default).
In reg, default addy is full game ndn unless other wise specified.

1 vs 1

1 vs 1 games are allowed.
To report just place the winning players name in the box and use the pal for the
other player.
In 1 vs 1, if a player is booted, the other player should ask for a sub,
since the bot cannot. A boot is NOT an automatic forfeit.
The bot is considered the other original player.
Continue the game with the sub. If the booted player team loses,
please ask admin to post the loss. The sub does not have to post the
loss.

Tie Score

If your score is tied at the end of the game regardless of the number of bags, you
play one more hand, without reseating unless necessary.
Once the higher score has been reached the game is over.

Back To Top

#1 vs #2

So that we can keep the top of the ladder attainable for all teams, AGT would like
to be sure the top teams stay active.
However, the # 2 team cannot browbeat the # 1 team to play constantly.
If the following 2 requirements are not met, the team not in compliance they will
be rung 10 on the ladder.
If a team has kept the # 1 rank for 48 hours (2days) consecutive,
they will be rung ten spots so all teams have a shot at # 1.
1) 1st ranked team MUST play at least 5 ladder matches per day.
2) 1st must play 2nd at least once every 24 hours (Day).

Mass boots from GP

It is possible that you and your opponents may be disconnected from the game
or the GP entirely before your match is finished.
If one team was clearly losing at the time of disconnect then
that team should be a good sport and report the loss.
If there was no clear winner at that point in the match and it is not a game that
allows you to continue then a rematch or a no game would be suggested.
