Taking Nertz to New Levels!
Tournament players must read the following carefully.
Please Note:
This online game may not be exactly the same style of Nertz you are used to playing at home. However, it should be similar. (Not to mention FREE) Thus, AOL,
Games.com, Pogo.com, Java, and any other parties involved with the Solitaire Race are not responsible for this NNA tournament or any issues regarding
tournament game play if there should be any.
Match Procedure:
1. Near game time, find the "NNA Members" 100-Point game room on the Solitaire Race home page at AOL.com: NNA Members / You can click the "Play Nertz
Now" button on the playnertz.com home page and it will direct you to the Solitaire Race home page. (Note: if you are logging in from a non-United States AOL
website, you will not be able to chat so you must log in from precisely the link given here: http://games.aol.com/game/solitaire-race/?
355146tab=2&355146sub=4#mod.355146
2. After log in, you will be directed to the “Room Lobby”. Remain in the lobby and do not sit at a table right away.
3. Make sure you are able to chat in the lobby. Sometimes a person logs in and the chat portion fails to load. If this happens, Log out, and log back in. Doing so
usually corrects the problem.
4. Currently, NertzTDJose will be the tournament director in charge of this tournament's matches. In the “Room Lobby” he/she will ask for the current NNA
tournament players. Respond and give him your first names so that he can associate your screen names with your NNA membership. (You can reply now with
your screen name if you have one already.)
5. Next the director will designate one of you to open a private table by clicking on the “Private” button in the blank table at the top left corner of the room. This
player will then have to create a password, at which point he/she will simply type in “nna”, and then press “ok” to enter the room. Public tables are often used in
certain cases.
6. IMPORTANT: After this player enters, he/she is not to click the start button which reads “I’m Ready Now”. That player is to wait until everyone else is seated and
then let the game timer automatically start the game. This will ensure that all players get a fair start. If the game starts before everyone is seated, the director will
instruct all players to exit to the lobby using the “Exit to the Lobby” link at the bottom of the table, and try again.
7. After the designated player creates this table, the remaining players will then locate the private table in the game lobby and join it. You will have to enter the
password which will be “nna” to enter. Be prepared for the start of the game shortly after you enter the room, as mentioned before with the player that creates the
table, wait until the timer starts the game and do not press the start button.
8. If any player encounters a connection problem, we will not be stopping the game. Unfortunately, the cost of playing Nertz online is that you can only be as good
as your connection or computer allows. If you do experience connection problems, sometimes exiting out and restarting your browser can help you salvage the
rest of your game. Once the game has begun, you are free to come in and out of the room to try a remedy any connection problems you may be experiencing. The
game will not stop, but a computer is designed to play for you in the case you should lose a connection.
9. The director will attempt to be taking screen shots of the scores after every hand. So, do not click the “Continue” button right away. Give it a couple seconds in
between hands so that everyone can get a chance to see their scores.
10. Lastly, if no player makes it to 100 points by the 20th hand, the game ends. This is not our decision, but that is how Solitaire Race is set up. So, if that
happens, it will still be the players with the two highest scores that advance even without making it to 100. This does happen, but not often.
Additional Tournament Information:
This is a single elimination tournament which means if you do not receive one of the two high scores this round, you are eliminated from the tournament. All
games in this tournament will be played to 100 points and as stated before 2 players from each round will advance to the final table. So you only get one game
per round to try to advance. Your scores will be posted and you can find them using a link on the tournament page. You may check the progress of the tournament
on that page as well page. Players will be notified after each round of their tournament status. If you advance you will receive addition game time information at a
later date via Facebook message.
We would like to thank you for your participation in this NNA tournament and look forward to seeing you in more to come! If you have any additional questions or
need some clarification on this information, let us know.
Also, if you still do not have an AOL account and have not familiarized yourself with the game, take some time to do so as soon as possible. Don’t wait to do it right
before game time as we may not be able to help you if you have any problems doing so. Good Luck!
