Part of the speech to the table includes my 3 "rules":

1. Try not to cheer. I know you have friends out there but cheering takes your mind off what you're doing.
2. No food or drink at the table. If something spills it's not going to be pretty.
3. The only electronic device I want to see at the table is...and I point to the game clock (and the shot clock, if needed).

Since I lay it out at the beginning the kids don't protest...much.
