Sportsmanship

Zero tolerance for poor sportsmanship. No sharking, bitching, complaining about handicaps. If you slam a stick on the table or knock balls off the table, you will be DQ’d. Do not walk around the table while your opponent is shooting. Stay in one spot. Do not talk to your opponent while shooting. If you say “good game” before they shoot the 9 ball, the game is conceded. If you don’t like it, don’t play. Go complain on facebook.

Chip Count + Eliminations

  • Everyone will start with 10 Chips, but if we have over 32 players, I may alter the number of chips to speed the play along

  • If your opponent does a break and run, you have a chance to break and run. If you break and run, your opponent does not receive a loss, but you play a 3rd game sudden death.

Format & Schedule

This tournament is about efficiency and speed. Speed is the #1 rule! It overrules everything else. If a match can be played, play it. Players should be playing.

  • Round 1 - Play 1 game, then next opponent

  • Round 2 - Play 1 game, then rotate. All of the players who were rotating in Round 1 are now grouped together to play each other, while the players stationary on tables from Round 1 will all play each other.

Score Keeping & Speed Violations

Later rounds….I’m tired of chasing people who go off to smoke. You must check with me and the schedule so I can tell you if you have a gap. If you go off to smoke I will call your match, and if you don’t show up within 2 minutes, you lose that game. There are PLANNED breaks for everyone!

For each round there is a schedule posted. Each group of players is responsible for policing each other and keep things moving!!! You know the schedule, so get your drinks, cigarette break out of the way. I’m not your mother, if you can’t be an adult, and be on time, you will be DQ’d. Once a match is done, BOTH PLAYERS must circle winner, time finished, & initial. Next match has 2 minutes to break or players not ready will forfeit. 9 minutes per game, then 30 second shot clock. If there is another available table, go for it. If there is an available match to play further down the schedule, PLAY IT!
