1. The Total Points Tournament Bridge Club is a guest of BBO and Mr. Fred Gitelman.

2. BBO is not responsible for TPT Club or the rulings and decisions made by TPTC Tournament Directors.

3. The TD (Tournament Director) is the ultimate authority in a tournament. Please bear in mind that the members of the TD/AD staff work on a voluntary basis to provide our many players this opportunity of enjoyment, and they should therefore be treated with courtesy and respect.

4. Least Loser Collusion to help one pair advance is strictly forbidden and can lead to DQ of both pairs.

5. BBO Code of Conduct is applicable to the TPT Club and behavior inconsistent with that will not be tolerated.

Serious offenses include:
  - the use of profanity as well as racist or sexually explicit remarks
  - insulting your partner, opponents, or any other player in TPTC
  - kibitzers chatting with players about the content of unseen hands
  - sending private chat to members who have asked you to stop doing so

Repeat offenders will be suspended or even expelled from TPTC/BBO. BBO's Code of Conduct can be found in »Explore Bridge« - »Bridge Library« - choose language - »The Rules of this Site«.

6. English is the official language of this site. However, as we have players from all over the world, the level of proficiency may vary. Please bear in mind that this can cause some misunderstandings, and »offenses« may therefore have their root in mere language problems.

7. Reports/complaints about offenses should be sent to conductrevpanel@yahoo.com. Management will refer offenses to our Conduct Review Panel (CRP) and together they will decide on course of action. Serious offenses will be reported to BBO's abuse@bridgebase.com.
