EGO TOURNAMENT RULES (CALIFORNIA)

Double 6 Domino Tournament Rules1. Game Setup

  • Each player draws 7 dominoes to begin play. The game starts with the first double played as the Spinner.

2. Drawing Errors

  • Drawing more or fewer than 7 dominoes will result in a 50-point penalty.

3. Spinner and Double Plays

  • The first double played is the official Spinner.
  • If a player plays a double that is not the first double (i.e., not the Spinner), the opponent may request its removal if no further domino has been played (no penalty).
  • If the misplay is not noticed or acknowledged before another domino is played, the play stands.
  • The offended player is not obligated to call out the misplay; they may choose to accept it and continue, or request correction.

4. Misplay of a Domino

  • Any misplay is governed by the procedure in Rule #3.

5. Locked Game

  • If a player’s move will lock the game, they must announce:
    “This play will lock the game or cause the game to be locked. I will start the next hand with a domino of my choice according to Rule #5. Thank you!”
  • If no announcement is made, the next hand starts with the Double 6 or the highest double available.

6. Exposed Dominoes

  • There is no penalty for exposing your dominoes. Players may turn up any or all of their dominoes at any time.

7. Drawing from the Boneyard

  • When drawing from the boneyard, if you find a playable domino, you may turn it face up to decide where to play it.
  • Do not hide it among your unplayed dominoes. Doing so results in a 50-point penalty.

8. Winning Domino from the Boneyard

  • If you draw the winning domino from the boneyard, you must turn up your remaining dominoes for verification.
  • Failure to do so, if it’s impossible to verify your unplayed dominoes, results in a 100-point penalty.

9. Passing with a Playable Domino

  • If you pass or draw from the boneyard when you actually have a playable domino, you incur a 75-point penalty.

10. Rule Amendments

  • These rules may be updated prior to August 1, 2025. Please review the rules again before the tournament date.

Good luck and enjoy the game!
