[/list]Arcade Rules


<ul class="bbc">
[*]We promote fair play in our arcade.
[*]The Arcade version that we have installed does not have all the features that our previous arcade had ie.
[*]Any member can view your arcade scores/wins/games, there is no disable feature
[*]Please note: whilst there are no actual targeting rules, we have 27,000 games on PGA, there is NO reason to take more than 5 scores off any one person within a 24 hour period!! Game of the Day, Team & weekly challenge should be competition enough.
[*]These rules may be revised at any time, please ensure you check frequently
[*]You get caught cheating or using game exploits - you are banned - simple!
[*]Please do not send pm's, chat messages or emails to other members querying scores, if you feel there is a problem please pm an Administrator who will investigate and deal with the issue
[/list]Anything that you need clarification on or are unsure about, please contact admin or staff
