Rules
One word regarding the rules before we get into them. There are many rules. Some you will feel are "stupid". Regardless of how you feel about them they must be followed. Also, keep in mind that new, little rules are added and changed constantly. The only consistency there is with the rules is that there is no consistency. As a group, we must go with the flow and adhere to each change. Remember, this is a win-win situation and if we choose not to follow the rules, Center Plate has many groups just waiting in the wings to take our place. They are fully in charge.
One more note to keep in mind, Center Plate loves to deduct percentages from groups for not following the rules. If there is a deduction to the group, and it is your fault, the deduction will come from your account.
