The Moderators' Bible

Everything you could ever want to know as a Moderator.
(And probably some stuff you never wanted to know as a Moderator!)

By Gary S. Best and Bob Heeter; last revised 20-Feb-98 by Bob Heeter


The Moderators' Bible is the official reference page for moderators, providing links to all moderator resources as well as a complete guide to the official tournament rules.

Complete List of Moderator Resources:

Moderator's Toolkit
Collection of standardized procedures to use in common situations, including players who run out of timeouts (Lost Players), and the End of Game procedures.

The Moderator's Role
Complete procedure for how to moderate a tournament game from start to finish.

Remailer Edit Page
Usually the first place you go when you need to sort out a game problem using the Remailer! Make this a bookmark if it isn't one already.

Moderator's Screen
Special page on the Remailer for Moderators to keep track of important game information such as vacation days, rules violations, and upcoming vacations. Add this to your Web bookmarks if it's not already there.

Reference Archive
Collection of all Rules Tutorials and other "mass mailing" messages that have been sent to all players.

Ten Commandments
Brief statements of the key rules.

Players Rulebook
What the players know about the rules. Very helpful if you need to remind them of something - just copy & paste from the official rules page.

Moderator's Guide to the Tournament Rules
The Moderator's Guide is no longer up-to-date. Email Headquarters if you have a question.
