How it works
Qualifying round:
Players will be split into 4 groups (4 or 5 depending on numbers)
Each player plays the other member of their set, best of 3.
The players of each set are ranked 1 thru 5.
In the event of a tie, coin toss(or dice roll off to determine place).
Those that place 1 or 2 in their set will play in the cup
Those that place 3 or 4 will play in the plate
Those that place 5 will play in the bowl
The following rounds will be elimination rounds, best of 3.
The final round will be best of 3 or 5, players choice.
Rules:
There are no penalties (except for those specified here), No 2 shots.
If you 'miscue', bad luck.
If the white is on the cushion, you can't move it out, shoot from the position.
If the white is sunk, the ball is played from anywhere in the 'D' and can shoot backwards.
If you are on the black, you are expected to make a fair attempt.
If you are on the black and you sink the white, you lose.
If you are not on the black and you sink it, you lose.
It you sink your ball, before the black is sunk (on the same shot) you win.
If you sink your opponents ball, at any time, no penalty.
(so if your opponent attempts to block the pocket with his ball and you sink it, no penalty, even if you are on the black)
If you hit your opponent's ball, or the black ball, before your ball and your ball goes in, you don't get another shot.
If you lose by 7 Balls, the rule is that you buy your opponent a drink of their choice(we don't need to see you dance).
If balls are moved accidently by hand, or by cue slip move back to approx position. Its a hard call, just be carefull.
