Terms of Service for [N-O] Grid-Wide Sport Fishing, Fishing Competitions, and the [N-O] Grid-Wide Sport Fishing Group.
We do not like having to add rules but they are in responce to certain people trying to take advange of the number and type of competitions held.
So to make it fair to everyone.


I.  SCHEDULED COMPETITIONS

1)  Priority is given to those competitions listed in the calendar - http://fishing.web-community.uk/web/Competitions.php
2)  Competitions not held for 3 weeks may be removed from the calendar to allow others to use the time slot. If you are away from SL for more than 3 weeks, your time slot may be made available to others.  Contact Bebe if you may have a special circumstance.
3)  Hosts may hold a maximum of 3 competitions per week (combined impromptu and scheduled). Existing hosts do not need to remove competitions until their number decreases. Your current comps are grandfathered. This is not a lifetime license to hold the number of comps slots you currently use. If you hold more than three calendar comp slots and you give one up, it can not be traded for another. It is lost.
4)  Competitions cannot be held on land where [N-O] owners or Game Wardens are restricted from entering.
5)  Competition notices cannot be sent for comps held on land that is not publicly accessible.
6)  No competitions are allowed be held on land owned or rented by anyone appearing on the group banned list or by anyone deemed their alts. There is a good reason if someone is banned. Assisting banned persons in their efforts to get around their ban will get you banned along with them. 


II.  POSTING SCHEDULED COMPETITIONS TO [N-O] GRID-WIDE SPORT FISHING GROUP:

7)  Post a notice of your scheduled competition at least 10 minutes before the start time. Failure to do so allows others to host an impromptu competition.
8)  Only post notices for the competition you are currently hosting. Limit your notices to 1 group notices and 3 short (max 4 lines) group chat messages per competition.  Please Include the start time in the notice subject line for clarity.
9)  Include any competition restrictions (e.g., adult region) in your notice. Do not restrict avatar shape or appearance. Child avatar restrictions in Adult regions are expected per Linden Lab.
10)  Sending mass invites for unscheduled competitions or competitions that clash with scheduled ones will result in a ban.
11)  Competition notices cannot be sent for comps held on land that is not publicly accessible.
12)  For scheduled competitions, the posted SLURL must match the one in the calendar (within the same region) unless the Comp is of a nature which traverses Linden waterways.
13)  Do not advertise competitions held on land owned by banned residents.

If you wish to hold regular competitions, please copy and paste the attached request notecard into your own NC so that you show as the creator and return to Bebe stating the competition name and Main Host's name in the header.   We can then add you. 􀀀
