Cribbage Code of Congeniality

We are firm believers in the American Cribbage Congress Code of Congeniality and encourage it during our weekly cribbage nights and at Grass Roots tournaments. The intent is for experienced players to be considerate of new player skills and their development, and to foster growth of the community.

Here's our slightly-modified version.

During a new player's introduction period (their first 4 cribbage events):

• We pledge to welcome new players warmly and make them feel wanted.

• We pledge to not penalize new players for violating game rules. (We will, instead, gently tell them what the rule is and what the penalty [if any] would be.)

• We pledge to not let new players underpeg points or undercount hands. (We will, instead, explain errors and then allow new players to take all points they are entitled to.)

• We pledge to not make new players feel inferior if/when they miss points or make a bad play. (We will, instead, let them know that all cribbage players do this and that it is part of the learning process.)

• We pledge to not force new players to play a game in 25 minutes. (We will, instead, be tolerant and not complain, remembering that we, too, started slow.)

After the introduction period is up . . .

• We pledge to continue to make all players — new and existing — feel welcome and comfortable at all our cribbage games.
