This is a one-day, modified double elimination format. Race to 7 on the winners and 5 on the one-loss side. We play down to 4 on each side (depending on the number of players), and redraw into a final bracket of eight. Those eight players on the Final Board will play a single-elimination race to 7.
MANDATORY PLAYERS MEETING 11:00 a.m. A $10 late fee is charged for Players arriving after 11:00 a.m. There is no guaranteed entry for late arrivals.
The draw is a blind draw by the tournament software. We will make every effort to ensure that you do not play someone that you came with in the first round.
Rules:
- Lag for break.
- Rack your own.
- Alternating break.
- Two goes behind the 9-Ball.
- A 9-ball that goes in behind the rack on the break spots.
- No conceding the 9-ball. Doing so will result in the loss of one additional point. For example, if the score is 5 – 5 and you concede the 9-ball, the score will be 6 – 4, rather than 6-5.
- If you miscue on the break and the cue-ball passes the headstring, it is the other player’s option to break even if the cue ball does not touch an object ball.
- Cue-ball fouls only.
- Cellphones are not allowed to be out in the playing area during a match. They must also be kept on silent/vibrate. If your cellphone rings during your match, it is ball in hand to the other player.
