Tables at the next evening.

How the tables will look

This is how an evening's tables will look. Nothing is open yet: tables open with member login, and no date is set. Rows marked Example show the layout. Nobody is sitting at them.

• Needs 1 moreThe table has not reached the game's minimum number of players. It is not on yet.
• OnThe minimum is reached, so the table goes ahead. Free seats can still be joined.
• FullEvery seat is taken. The next names go on a waiting list, in order; the first is offered the next seat released.

How each table is played

The member who opens a table says how it will be played. It describes the table, not the people at it: any member can join any table, and nobody is scored or ranked.

• New to itRules taught from the start. A first game is fine.
• Played itA short reminder of the rules, then play.
• Know it wellStraight in, at full pace.

Before the evening

1. Any time beforeOpen a table, take a seat, or join the waiting list of a full one. If you cannot come, release your seat as soon as you know.
2. Three days beforeA reminder to everyone seated. This is the moment to release a seat, so the next name waiting can have it.
3. Two days beforeTables are settled. A table that has its minimum goes ahead. One that does not moves to the next evening, or its players join a hosted table, as the member who opened it prefers.
4. On the eveningThe host has the boxes checked and set out. From then on, a seat you cannot use is a word with the host, not a change on the page.

A group table works the same way, except that it is not listed for joining. The member who books it sends a private link to their own players. If the group is short, the spare seats can be opened to members.
