Time for FUN and GAMES! Toulouse is a game of tile laying, in which you take turns drawing tiles with different combinations of cities, roads and pastures on the sides and play them in the field to get points and WIN. The game's over when all the tiles are laid.

We're doing round robin: everybody plays each other according to the matchup list, and is ranked first by wins, then second places, and finally top score in a tourney game. The championship match will be a 3 person match among the leaders in which the victor must win twice.

~Particulars~
Scheduling matches is up to you. There's no particular match order, so play with whoever you can find. Once we get down to the last few unplayed matches, I'll set a date to finish the rest (probably a week in the future). and then the championship will be arranged. Ties will be scored appropriately as either 1-1-3 or 1-2-2. We're playing with all expansions on, unless everyone in a match can agree on playing with less.
If two competitors are having trouble getting in touch with the third, contact me and he'll probably get third by default. If you schedule a specific time and somebody fails to show up without notice, just play without him after a reasonable amount of leeway time (at least 10-15 minutes) if you don't feel gracious enough to reschedule. If TWO people fail to show up, then they can do a match for second place at some later time.
If somebody's having connection issues, do not play tiles and force a bot to take his turns until he's had a reasonable length of time to try to get his issues worked out. If he continues to have severe problems, it's at your discretion as to whether to allow him the option of a rematch or just let the bot's playing stand (and if he thinks he's got the game in the bag even as a bot, he can opt not to take a rematch).
I think we're all sensible enough folks so hopefully most of this won't be an issue, but it's best to not permit drama the option of arising. Let me know if you think of something I haven't and happy toulousing!
