Rules of conduct: our league members are what make this whole thing great and just like anyone else we all deserve to be treated with a level of respect and understanding. Treating others with disrespect will not be tolerated and could lead to your removal from the league. Also, there will be no arguing of final calls and decisions made by league directors. Pinball is a game susceptible to mechanical failures that may or may not cause for a game to be shutdown or be restarted. This is the nature of the game, and any arguing or inappropriate behavior over any such rulings will not be entertained. Basically, we are all here to have a good time and let's treat everyone with respect and kindness!
