Need help with the final seven strings of the main page!

Hi

Soooo close to 100% now! But I don't know the context for some of these strings, or they just sound strange to me so I'm not sure what to write.
Leader arms
Not sure what this means. Sounds like a tournament thing?
No game in particular (multi-game tournament)
This sounds like an option. What's it an option for? What are the alternatives?
Number of points wins with this game result

Number of points wins with this game result (masked for standard account players)
Both of these seem related, but not sure what they are referring to. "Number of points wins" sounds kind of strange?
Round robin
Who's Robin and why're you bothering him about his weight?
Second, please retry in 10-15 minutes, they could be some issue with the shop.
Second?
The description of the Terms of Service violation. QUITTING A TABLE is NOT a ToS violation
Last one. Where can I see this in context?

Yes, this is an heraldic term (figurative speech to point to the player's icon by reference to medieval tournaments). A synonym to 'arms' is 'armorial bearings'.

One alternative 'This tournament is linked to this game'
This is for people setting up their own tournament (functionnality not available yet). A tournament is either specific to one game or multi-game.

This is contextual help for ELO game results on the result page for a finished game.
You are right, the sentence is not very good english (it's not our first language). I changed it to 'Number of points earned for this game'

:lol:
No offense to Robin there, round-robbin is a system for choosing players who will play together in a tournament: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_tournament

This is some support message for people buying a game in a partner shop (this is experimental, we only have one partner shop in France for now), they get some free time as BGA Club members.
If we can't find their order number when checking with the shop, we print them the following messages :
"We couldn't find your order when we questioned the shop."
"First, please check carefully your order number."
"Second, please retry in 10-15 minutes, they could be some issue with the shop."
"Finally, if you didn't get your membership, please contact us."

This one is shown when reporting misbehaviour of a player (at the end of a game, 'report this player' link).
It shows in front of the box for describing the misbehaviour, inviting the reporting player to describe the ToS violation he feels to have happened.
To make it more understandable, I changed it to 'Please describe in what way this user violated the Terms of Service of the site. QUITTING A TABLE is NOT a ToS violation'.

Cheers,
Een

100% translated now (except for a few games which I've yet to learn + Dominion which I guess there's no point in translating)! But the main site is done!

Left to do: Race for the Galaxy, Amyitis, Troyes, Hawaii, In the year of the Dragon, Seasons, The Boss.
Not completely unfamiliar with RftG or The Boss, so these will probably be quick as well. ^^
And Hawaii I'll probably be playing for the first time today-ish (it's already half-translated). :-)
