Welcome to Playas! Relax, be courteous, and enjoy your games. All games will start *on time*. We will continue to seat until 10 after the hr. Once a tourney is closed no one may enter it except for a sub or to complete a table on a 1st come 1st serve basis. After closing, the active TD may redistribute players, as they see fit, in order to fill tables. If a player continuously gives a TD a hard time, does not co-operate, or disrespectful, it is up to that TD in charge as to if that player will be allowed to play in that TDs Tourneys. If the player gives the TD a hard time over it they may be removed from the room if the TD see?s fit to do so.
