​
Respect the Game
​
-
Do not cheat. Do not use counterfeit or fake cards. Be respectful of other players property and keep food and drink off of the game tables, accidents do happen! If you must handle another player’s property, do so carefully. Put things away the way you found them.
-
Everyone at JAKL KIDS should strive to act honestly at all times. Games cease to be fun when players break the rules to achieve victory. A player should prefer to lose a game than to win by cheating. If a player inadvertently breaks a rule during a game and becomes aware of the error, that player should make the opponent aware of the misplay and take any action neccessary to correct the error.
-
Players should strive to help each other increase play skills, game knowledge, and experience. Discussing strategies, offering tips, or constructively critiquing game play decisions helps both participants to become better players and help us build a better JAKL KIDS community.
-
Winning or losing with grace is vital to the enjoyment of any game. Demeaning, disrespectful comments, or actions before, during, or after a game indicate poor sportsmanship and will not be tolerated.
-
Taking advantage of inexperienced players or customers for personal gain through deceptive play, trades, or promotion of competing businesses is not fair and will not be tolerated.
​
​
Respect the Space
​
-
Everyone has the right to a clean, enjoyable gaming experience. Please pick up after yourself and leave the game space as clean and neat as you found it, or better!
-
Food and beverages are permitted and those attending events are welcome to bring in lunch or dinner but please do not leave any food or garbage unattended, do not eat at the game tables and put any waste in an appropriate garbage can. Be mindful of others and avoid strong smelling foods.
-
Restrooms are for all customers and staff to use, please respect the space, keep it tidy, clean up after yourself and wash your hands.
​
Respect the Store
​
JAKL KIDS is a business and must be profitable to continue operating and offer events and a placespace for everyone. Please be respectful of this and do not damage or disrespect the building, the merchandise, any property and JAKL KIDS overall business. Promotion, solicitation, and selling on behalf of yourself or another business without JAKL KIDS permission is disrespectful of the community and business of JAKL KIDS. Doing so without permission is strictly prohibited and grounds for expulsion from any event and/or denial of entry to JAKL KIDS and all future events. Stealing from the store, customers, participants, or staff will result in a ban from the store, as well as a report filed with local law enforcement. Theft is disrespectful of personal property and will not be tolerated at any level. At the end of the day, we want all participants, spectators, customers and staff to have a fun and enjoyable experience while at JAKL KIDS. We thank you for following the JAKL KIDS Code of Conduct to make this possible for years to come!
