We take pride in our ladder as it is an outlet in meeting other people from all over the world.
Keeping the harmony is important to us because our competition is our pogo league friends,
a chat room where we can hang up our coat and have fun! It is very important that you read and
abide to our policies before becoming a League member.
Bingo Bonanza welcomes non-sharers/non league members alike in our Fortune Bingo
chat room. Please treat them with equal respect. Most players new to our room
who do not share usally don't understand what it means. Our Bonanza Ladder members
share in and out of the tournaments in fortune bingo.
'sharing bingo league',
How to share fortune bingos
Been asked if you share or are a sharer? ...read on ->
Sharing is when you win bingo 1st or 2nd and wait for others.
Typing in the chat area the letter 'B' and allowing the third(3rd) bingo winner to
gong first' is a perfect Share.
As a member of the Bonanza Ladder if you
take on the responsibility of gonging 1st there must be
at least 3 winners in total.
This means you have witnessed 2 other B's in chat
Bingo Share Tournament Rules
If you gonged early but 'lucked out' with 3 winners in the winners box you will not be penilized.
Missed scores and/or a non-share game is worth zero points.
We understand the expression of 'My finger slipped' but if this happens to often,
(1) it will be questioned, (2) you will be warned (3) then removed from the league if
it's done attentionally or/and to frequently.
-If your opponent gongs without a share then this is causing you to lose out on a
possible spin or bingo. We ask all members to share fairly by typing your B in
chat and wait to gong with the 3rd winner.
If your a Bingo bonanza Ladder/League Member and continues to not
share in and outside the tournament s*ystem, you will be removed from the
Bonanza N Friends ladder/league. Most rooms do not share bingos please use
other bingo rooms for non-share play.
Is chat bothersome?
...HOW TO MUTE TROUBLESOME CHAT...
Muting someones account on pogo
makes them Litterally Disappear.
What we might see is others making comments and thats why we ask E1 to mute or ignore.
Ignoring or muting any bothersome chat shows respect to others who drop in to say hello.
Simply click on the trouble makers pogo name in the who's here list and select mute player.
Our host's and players are #1 in Bingo Bonanza, their dedication to hosting and
playing daily tourneys, their participation and friendships made truely make us
a league we want around for more years to come.

Ladder/League Rules
Tourney Time
We would like to enforce and reiterate to all members that the tourneys
must start on time, with a max of 5 mins overrun. We may lose the odd person
who gets annoyed at missing a tourney but they will soon be on time the next
time. This will help stop the problem of members getting annoyed who have
signed up on time and have had to wait for late arrivals.
Our Hosts have the option of removing any registered player who
is not in gameroom and ready to start apon closing Check-in.
Leaving During A Tourney In Progress
For any reason you have to leave after your tourney has started
you are automatically giving up the chance to win the tournament.
Therefore if a player needs to leave during a tourney in progress
we find it more fair to award the opponent who is still actively
participating - regardless of the round outcome.
Once the tourney starts and a player announces they need to leave
then their opp recieves the game win regardless of match outcome.
If a player leaves and said nothing then we will treat the situation
as a boot and keep the player in an extra round in hopes of their return.
Theme & Location on tourney pages
Most of our tournaments are played in Fortune Bingo, 3 cards (speedy tab)
-Tournament Room 018. Anytime a tournament is played in a different room
our hosts will add game title & location on their tourney pages to help
those that are registering know where to meet up. If your not sure of the
room, add the host's name on the tourney page to your pogo find a friend
list, most hosts are in the game 6-10 minutes before their tourney starts.
Round Tie (Tournaments)
Sometimes in a tourney your score will tie with your opponents, if this
happens to you the host will take an other host or player into PC (private chat)
and ask them to pick a # between 1 - 15.
The opponent closes to that number wins the round
Monthly Challenges

We've set monthly goals to give our players an awarding experience

Ladder Priority Rule;
If you have multiple people challenging
you at once you should play the person with the highest rank.
The priority rule for accepting challenges only applies when
you have multiple challenges at the same time.
If you are challenged by someone you should not go to chat
and actively seek someone higher in rank to challenge you,
rather you need to accept the first challenger.
It is illegal to refuse matches based on Ladder rank.
You may request a specific rank or range when advertising
for a challenge, but you may not refuse a valid challenge
simply because the challenger is not the rank you are
wanting to play.
Prospective TDs
We have found through experience that it is not wise to hire
brand new members as hosts but rather allow those members to
get to know our members as well as letting others get to
know that member. To this end, we request new members play a
minimun of 65 tourneys with bonanza and be familar with league
and tourney rules before applying for host. Be part of the future!
Click on the smiley below to join our Hosting Family!
Cases boots inactive TDs
by no means do any of us want to see our hosts go, this is just an important
note to know that after 60 days cases boots our inactive hosts. You can
request to be active exampted from your duties up to 2 years if you want
to freeze your hosting account with plans of returning. Hosts who are on
vacation from hosting for longer then 59 days but still active on the ladder
has the option to request to be active exampted or allow the account to
expire automatically on the 60th day of inactivity. This is solely the choice
of the host. We want to make your transition from player to host as smoothly
as possible for you and with no presure if you deside hosting isn't for you.
League/Ladder Guidelines and Regulations:
We are a drama free ladder/league. This means if your a gosiper or a busy-body
or looking for trouble it wont be found here nor is it welcome. If you are
experiencing bothersome chat simply mute or ignore. Our ladders focus is enjoying
a clean and fun time on pogo with others and is not responsible for other peoples
actions on pogo.
Abuse of TD's in relation to them doing their jobs in chat
or the forums is forbidden. If you are found to be guilty of this your account
will be penalized. TDs Tournament Directors are volunteers dedicating their time
to help improve the quality of the Ladder for all. Tournament Directors do not
have the power to kick, mute, or ban other players they are a staff presently
available in chat to help you come to a fair resolution when problems or disputes
arise. If they cannot help you with the problem themselves they will get someone
who can or refer you to the proper place to go to report the situation. They are
there to assist you, so take advantage of them and be appreciative.
If you have a problem with or wish to file a complaint against a Tournament
Director (Host), please send via E-mail to tdcomplaint@bingonfriends.com
Please include all pertinent information.
Abuse: If you encounter another Ladder user behaving in an unacceptable manner
in chat the best thing to do is just ignore them. If you notice one particular
user being abusive repeatedly please let us or your Tournament Director know
privately. Be sure to include all pertinent information, such as the offender's
username, and a brief explanation of the problem that you encountered.
There are many players available to challenge. It is illegal to continually
harass one specific player for a match. If you need a match with a specific
person and are having a problem getting a hold of them, let us know via the
SUPPORT link rather then harassing that individual. We will help you resolve
the matter before it turns into a conflicting issue. We encourage you to try
to solve problems on your own before bringing it to the staff, but not to the
point of creating hardship to yourself or harassing other users. We have one
of the best support staffs available on the Internet. If you have a problem
we are here to help you.
It is illegal to abuse or harass another Ladder member. If you are observed
being abusive in chat it could result in a penalty. Depending upon the extent
of the abuse you might not always receive a first warning. It is important to
remember that two wrongs do not make a right. In other words, if you are being
harassed by another Ladder member come to us for assistance. Do not take
matters into your own hands by returning the abuse, or you could find yourself
in trouble as well.
All new hosts and members have more of a probationary start to
their role in our league weither your a new Admin, Htd, Td and
Player! These margins can be found on most BingoNFriends rule
pages where applicable.
Nice Guy Rule:
Please note that behaviour guidelines apply for all methods of communication.
This includes chat, E-mail, message forums, ICQ, etc. Treat other members with
respect! We can't cover every aspect of gaming in our rules. We have tried to
be as thorough as possible and cover all the basics. However, just because
something is not listed doesn't mean that it is allowed. Use common sense. If
it is something that will adversely effect other players it's probably against
the rules. Our staff have the final say in such matters. If you have a specific
question please feel free to contact us via E-mail.
