This party is invite only. You're invited. And you can invite any friends you like. Join us to win bragging rights, cool prizes, or just have a blast. This party is a gathering of friends, old and new. If any of the friends you invite are former Members and rejoin our community, you can both get free months and chips. And of course, if you invite any new people and they join, you both earn free months too!

You already know that if a *new* person becomes a Contributing Member of All inPlay and lists you as the person who referred them you each get a free month. But, to make this party a bit extra special, we've expanded the promotion for the holidays. If a *former* member joins before the end of the tournament, purchases a quarterly or yearly membership, and lists you as the person that referred them, we'll give you *and* your buddy a free month and 5,000 chips each. We'll even do it if you pay for their membership as a gift! To qualify the former Member must have canceled before December 22, 2005 and the canceled account can't already belong to you.
The Great Eight are eight special awards available to crazy eights players. Each award recognizes a different type of accomplishment and has its own special (and often silly) name.

This event and all prizes are sponsored by All inPlay.
This section is meant to help maintain a SPIRIT of fun and friendship. If All inPlay ever feels the exact wording of our rules gets in the way of the intended spirit, the spirit holds priority and we'll make decisions accordingly. After all, we're here to have fun and make friends, not argue legalese!
All inPlay actively monitors tournaments, logs all chat and gameplay, and immediately removes and/or disqualifies anyone found cheating or being disruptive.
* This tournament is void where prohibited. We don't know where that is, but hey, if you live there, you should know! <smile>
* There is no fee to participate in the tournament and it is open to all Contributing Members in good standing. Members good at sitting are also more than welcome.
* All decisions by All inPlay concerning removal of players believed to be cheating or disrupting the game are final. We mean it, we'll send the bots to your house <grin>!
* Each All inPlay account that is paid up may participate and be used by whomever the account owner wishes. However, it is the owner of the account who is responsible for the action of anyone they "loan" their account to. If you let your dog play for you and they have a little "episode" near community member FireHydrant, you're gonna have to deal with the consequences.
* All inPlay Staff, Tournament Sponsors, and their respective families are not eligible to win prizes beyond bragging rights and their rank. Besides, who would ever believe that Paul @ All inPlay could win?
* Folks who sponsor individual prizes are not eligible to win their own prize, but are eligible to win prizes they did not sponsor. Otherwise it might be hard to get prize sponsors!
* All decisions by All inPlay and the sponsor(s) concerning prize distribution are final. Again, bots armed with silly puddy are standing by.
* By participating in the tournament, you authorize All inPlay to share your contact information with the relevant prize sponsors (otherwise you can't get your prizes).
* Limit of one free trial account per person. We can't think of anything funny to say about this... darn.
* A "Contributing Member" is one who pays membership fees that support All inPlay or a player who has a complimentary account provided by All inPlay.So bring some friends and have a great time, or maybe even leave as the Tournament Champ!
