THINGS TO KNOW
It is free to join our Buccaneers!! However Cases does offer Premium Memberships where you can earn 2x,4x,and 6x the Bux than you would normally win a tourney. (See Memberships under the Account Tab on the main page)
Premium memberships are a way for you to also support YOUR league. Cases gives a small donation back to the leagues for each premium membership.
Ladderbux are separate from your pogo account. They work in the same way except you build until you decide to turn them in for prizes.
Earn Ladderbux by winning rounds in tourneys. But you win the most by winning the entire tourney.
Some tourneys have Gifted Bux. These are bux gifted by the Host for that tourney. They are awarded to the winner of that tourney only and paid immediately after the tourney is completed.
If you run out of Bux click on the "Bux Request" link on the Main League Page and submit request. You may also ask your Host to help you with this as well and they will be happy to donate bux if they are able and if not they will locate someone who can help wiht this, so that you can play.
Only Premium Members (Platinum or Diamond) can gift Bux to other players. Premium members can access their accounts through the "My Account" tab. User name and password is needed to access your account. Here you may edit your options on your account and gift as well.
Single Elimination or S/E's are tours in which you must lose one round before you are eliminated from the tour.
Double Elimination or D/E's are tours in which you must lose two rounds before you are eliminated from the tour.
Swiss Tours you play every round until the Host has declared a winner.
True Swiss Tours the number of rounds are set and tour played that number of rounds. May or may not have a "winner" buxs are still paid out.
The length of a tournament depends on how many players have joined in. It also depends on how fast its players report there scores when asked. It is important to help your Host by paying attention to the chat box and reporting scores when asked, not doing so in a timely matter will result in disqualification of that round. Possibly the entire tourney.

We have developed the WildnCrazy Buccaneers league for everyone's enjoyment. A place for players to hang out together, play games and have fun without drama and disruptions. All our rules are put into place to be fair for every player. All players are expected to adhere to all of Cases, Pogos and our Conduct rules listed below.
Sorry if these sound "harsh" but in order to keep drama out these rules must be in place!!
At no time will Racial Slurs, derogatory remarks, or insults be tolerated at anytime. Whether it is to one of the league players, pogo player or Host. All complaints will be investigated and could result in warning, suspension or
termination from league.
At no time will heated discussions of game issues be discussed in main chat of pogo. If you have an issue please take it to private chat and make sure that the host is present in private chat. The Host will then bring it to the attention of the Admins at which time an investigation will commence. We promise that every report will be investigated.
ABSOLUTELY NO AUTO PROGRAMS ARE PERMITTED ON THIS LEAGUE AND ALL REPORTS OF SUCH WILL BE FORWARDED TO POGO FOR FURTHER REVIEW. Keep in mind pogo can tell when there is use of an auto program. They will terminate your POGO account if you are found to have used a Cheat/Auto program. After which we will terminate your account from our league as well. LETS BE FAIR!! IF YOU NEED TO CHEAT WHY BOTHER PLAYING??
Any player found to be cheating in any way or form, can lose their membership on the Buccaneers league.
Please "Hold Chat" when the Host asks. This is to ensure the Host may collect scores in a timely manner without the chat flying by them.
On occasion the Host may make a mistake. We all do it, we are all human. Please understand and move on without making a BIG fuss in open chat. This makes a Host feel bad and it's very disrespectful.
At no time will "drama" be tolerated in this league, any disruption of game play can result in a member being removed from the league.
Host's for this league ALL volunteer their time. Wouldn't it be nice for us all to show our appreciation to that fact. Remember to say "THANKS" after each tour. They will be happy you did and so will you.
~~GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY PLAYING
