Hello folks, couple quick reminders on rules..

1. Do not talk to your players while they are at the table shooting. This is a time out. What this means is once the opponent misses you should not be talking to your player in ANY language. You can talk while the opponent is still shooting but again once they miss all talking should cease to that player.

2. Ghosting: as a reminder you cannot ghost a match and continue to play. As per the Northeast Mass APA bylaws once a ghost has been played all remaining matches must be forfeit. Please do not allow teams to circumvent this to get more players to a match. We are lucky enough to have this rule at all as most APA league areas do not allow a ghost. Please do not abuse this rule or we may have to asses its use in our area going forward.

3. Start time: if your division start time is 7:00pm the match STARTS at 7:00 not 7:04 not 7:12.. 7 if there are players at the match site you can start with one player! Teams that continually start past the start time may be assessed penalties. Team match forfeits are 15 mins past the start time. Please do not be late! 

4. Always follow the rules as they are written. We understand some of us want to be nice and friendly however the rules are there for a reason. The moment we start allowing players to circumvent the rules it gets lost and players start making up their own rules or not understanding why one week it was allowed but the next it wasn’t. The snowball effect gets large. Let’s all do our best to educate those who don’t understand in a respectful manner but we need to follow them as they are written. 

5. People are allowed to conversation with each other in ANY language and we are not regulating speech at league night. As long as the players are not speaking directly to a shooter we will not tell people they cannot talk to each other. 

Thank you!
