Just a reminder regarding director calls at our games... when you request that a director come to your table, regardless of how you may be feeling at the time, please do not shout out in an annoyed tone "DIRECTOR!". Instead, simply raise your hand and say in a clear, calm voice, "Director, please". Keep in mind that our directors work very hard before, during, and after each game, and we could not run our games or tournaments without them. They deserve our respect and appreciation.
