    • Playing Rules

  • When a player arrives, he adds himself to the bottom of the clipboard list.
  • Each player waits his turn.
  • When everyone's name above him is crossed off, it is his turn to play. He then can choose to do one of the following:
    --ask another idle player to play for fun,
    --challenge another player for a "challenge board" match,
    --ask another idle player if they want to practice for 20 minutes,
    -- delay playing (if he's still tired, or wants to wait for someone who is already playing).
    --If a player delays, it's the next player in line's turn.
  • A player who is asked for a "fun" match may decline the invitation.
  • All matches are 3-out-of-5.
  • When a match is over, BOTH players leave the table, return to the front, and add their names to the BOTTOM of the waiting list.

    Challenges for the challenge board work as follows:

  • you can only challenge (for the board) someone one or two spaces up from you, counting only those players who are present.
  • for example, if you're #4, and #3 is absent, you can challenge #2 or #1.
  • if the higher player wins, there is no change to the board.
  • if the lower player wins, he moves up to the higher players spot, and everyone in between moves down one spot (including the loser).
  • the players move the discs on the challenge board themselves (if they're not sure how to do it, they can ask someone).
  • A player who is asked for a "challenge" match cannot decline, unless he has already been challenged twice that night (or once already from the same person).
  • A player who is injured does not have to accept challenges.
