THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Thanks to all the League Members who made the time, effort, and financial commitment to make our 2nd Annual A Path 4 Paws Food & Supply Drive a success! With your generosity, we were able to raise $850 in cash and contribute several boxes of food and supplies to A Path 4 Paws, helping their mission of providing a safe haven for dogs suffering from abuse, neglect, or homelessness. You can check out all the details at their website https://apath4paws.org/ . You can also check out our blog for all the details on this year's fundraiser and donation drop off. https://www.misfitspokerleague.com/post/a-path-4-paws-food-supply-drive-league-members-step-up-for-second-annual-fundraiser

WEEKLY RULES REVIEW!
We have three rules to review this week as well as an addition to the MPL Rules of the Game:
There has been a clarification via addendum to RULE 16 on the MPL Rules of the Game.
MPL Rules of the Game, Rule 16a:
a. In order for a current member to receive the referral bonus, they must introduce their new guest to the Tournament Host upon checking in for the tournament or before the first hand that the new player plays (Late Registration).
TDA Rule #67: No Disclosure. One Player to a Hand
Players must protect other players in the tournament at all times. Therefore players, whether in the hand or not, must not:
1. Discuss contents of live or mucked hands,
2. Advise or criticize play at any time,
3. Read a hand that hasn't been tabled.
One-player-to-a-hand is in effect. Among other things, this rule prohibits showing a hand to or discussing strategy with another player, advisor, or spectator.
TDA Rule # 68: Exposing Cards and Proper Folding
Exposing cards with action pending, including the current player when last to act, may result in a penalty but not a dead hand. Any penalty begins at the end of the hand. When folding, cards should be pushed forward low to the table, not deliberately exposed or tossed high (“helicoptered”).
With these two rules in place, the MPL is adding Rule #19 to the Rule of the Game.
Rule #19: Per TDA Rules #67 and #68, asking other players to "pick a card" either during action or after the hand is complete is not acceptable and will not be allowed. Once the hand is complete, players may decide to muck face down, show one or both of their cards. This is completely at the player's discretion and shall not be influenced by any other player. Penalties will be given accordingly when these rules (MPLROG #19, TDA #67,#68) are broken.
The League Rules have been updated so please take the time to review all of the League rules and guidelines as it makes for a better playing experience for yourself and everyone at the table. For full access click the link below:
The Tournament Dealer Association (TDA) rules will apply in most cases. Please keep in mind TDA is a guideline for poker rooms to use and always respect rule #1 which states the following: “The best interest of the game and fairness are top priorities in decision-making. Unusual circumstances occasionally dictate that common sense decisions in the interest of fairness take priority over technical rules. Floor decisions are final.” To further familiarize yourself with the TDA Rules please visit: https://www.pokertda.com/poker-tda-rules/
