Community guide

Make competition welcoming

Welcoming competition has clear expectations, fair moderation and room for people who are still learning.

Welcome people deliberately

Explain how to join, where to ask questions and what level of play to expect. Offer a friendly first session that does not depend on knowing existing members.

Make conduct visible

Publish simple behaviour rules and a confidential reporting route. Apply those rules consistently, including to established members and organisers.

Celebrate useful behaviour

Recognise good communication, fair play, reliability and helping newcomers. Community culture is shaped by what receives attention.
