GENERAL LEAGUE RULES
No force forfeiting
Timers are 7 minutes, 10 minutes in finals. Bootem timers are 3 minutes throughout the entire tourney.
IF the 8 ball is on the lip of a pocket and therefore makes it impossible for tourney to be comepleted correctly, such as in a 4 corners or last pocket or bank the 8 etc. it is a rerack.
If players feel the need to argue and do a he said she said, the game will be replayed while the TD babysits regardless of which player is right.
DOUBLE
ELIMINATION
In this type of tournament, you have
to lose two matches before you are eliminated. After you lose your first match,
your team then moves into the lower (loser's) bracket. You continue playing
matches in that lower bracket until you get your second loss, which means you
are out of the tournament. However, if you win all the matches in the lower
bracket, you then play the winner of the top (winner's) bracket. Since the
winner of the top bracket has not yet lost, the winner of the loser's bracket
must beat the winner of the winner's bracket twice in order to win the
tournament. The winner of the winner's bracket only needs to win one of the two
matches to win the tournament. If the winner of the winner's Bracket wins the
first game then there is no second game
SWISS SYSTEM
In this type of
tournament, players play in every round regardless of their match results. (A
player may withdraw from the tournament after any round if they no longer wish
to compete.) Each win counts as one (1) point, and each loss counts as zero (0)
points.
Regular Swiss
System
The tournament is
finished as soon as there is only one player remaining who is undefeated. (The
number of rounds is set before the tournament in order to specify a maximum
number of players. If the tournament is set for six (6) rounds, this does not
guarantee that there will be six rounds of play since players withdrawing from
the tournament may shorten the rounds required to reach an undefeated player. If
for some reason after the given number of rounds has been played and there is
still more than one undefeated player, the tournament will be extended in order
to determine a winner.)True
Swiss System
In True Swiss
System format, the TD presets the number of rounds before the tournament starts
and regardless of the number of registrations, the number of rounds does not
change once the tournament begins. (The TD can manually change the number of
rounds prior to the tournament.) After all the rounds are complete, the player
with the most points wins. If there is no conclusive point leader, there is no
winner of the tournament. However, as an example of a true Swiss system, suppose
there is an undefeated player after 5 rounds of play, and the tournament is set
for 8 rounds of play, the tournament does not stop, giving those players who
have already lost a chance to win the tournament.
To determine the pairings, the following method is used.
- Players are put into a list from top to bottom in order of skill ratings. (All players on a list have the same number of points. For the first round, since all players have 0 points, there is only one list.) The list is divided into two groups, the top half and the bottom half. (Obviously all lists must have an even number of players in them. If they don't, players are moved to another list in order to make all lists even.)
- The first player in the top half is paired against the first player in the bottom half, second player from top half against second player in bottom half, and so on.
PARTNERS /
TEAMS
A partners
tournament is just like it sounds. You play with a partner against other teams.
First thing to do is find yourself a partner. Your partner must be a league
member. After you and your partner have decided on who will be the captain of
the team, and have picked a name for your team, and password, the captain then
goes to the tournament page and registers the team to play.
HOW TO
REGISTERThe captain will
first fill out the Team name. Then he will put in the team password that has
been chosen. He will then register him/herself to the team, by putting in
his/hers own name and password. Click on the box stating that you understand the
rules. And click the register button.The team, and the
team captain have been registered.Now it is time for
the partner to register. The partner will go to the same tournament page, and
find their team name in the pull down list. After finding the team name the
partner will put in the team password for the selected team you will then put in
your own yahoo id and password. And then click on the box stating you understand
the rules,Then click on the
register button.Your team should
now be checked in for the tourney. Make sure your both checked into the same
team by clicking on the TEAMS/CHECK IN at the top and look at the teams checked
in, and make sure your both in.HOW TO
PLAYThe tables must be
setup UNRATED!!!
And the game
is played like normal play.The team captain
sits first, and shoots. The captain continues to shoot untilhe/she misses,
then you stand. The partner then sits in the captains spot.The partner then
shoots at their designated balls. Until they miss, or finish the game by putting
in all the remanding team balls, And the 8 ball. The two partners continue to
trade off sitting and standing until the game is over.
At NO
time during tourney play can there be "coaching" or "telling your partner
where or what or how to play". It will result in automatic DQ.
PUB STYLE / CALL ALL SHOTS
All tables are
rated, protected tables.
Before you shoot, you must call which ball (color
and solid/stripe) and which pocket you are trying for.
If you do not make
your shot, but pocket another ball instead, you must tap cue ball, giving
opponent ball in hand. Combo shots do not have to be announced (ex:striped red
to solid blue to striped pink bottom right) just announce "Pink Bottom
Right".
The only instance that you would have to announce "striped" or
"solid" is before the balls are called.
TIMER
A timer tourney is
the same as any other single elimination game. The only difference is that there
is a TIMER or a SHOT CLOCK set when making a table. To make a timed game you
click on create table and then set the timer to the time that the TD specifies.
This game moves fast. So stay on your toes!!
LAST POCKET RULES
This format is like normal tournament type, except that the 8 Ball must be sunk into the pocket your last solid or stripe was sunk in. If you fail to make your last pocket and the 8 ball goes anywhere else, you must forfeit the game to your opponent.

SCOTTISH DOUBLES
This rule
variation can be any tournament type (i.e. Single/double elim, swiss)
except
it is a team game where shots alternates between team mates, not turns.
(Ex:
if bill and sue are partners and bill makes a ball, sue shoots the next shot.
If bill misses, the other team starts where they left off in the same
manner.)
GOOD VS EVIL
There are two jump
numbers for two different single elimination tournaments (double elimination can
be used).
One jump will be designated as "Good" and one jump as "Evil".
Members decide for themselves which jump to enter and which side to
represent.
Once those two tourneys are completed, the top two in each

on the list has balls 6 - 10,
and the last person on the list has balls 11 -

WHO DO YOU TRUST? (UNRATED
TABLES)
(Also know as
Pinch-Hitter) Regular 8 ball, until its time to sink the 8
ball, then you
MUST invite someone else to take the 8 ball shot on your
hehalf. You may
invite anyone that is in the Tourney or the TD. If the
person misses the 8
ball shot, and you get another chance, you can
use the same person or invite
someone else to take it.
So, Who Do You Trust to take your most important shot??
HIT & HOPE (5 SHOTS) (TRAINING TABLE)
Each player to:
Sit. Break and
then take 5 shots. Opponent MUST count the shots in the
text box. After you
are done, stand and count the points scored.
Scoring:
8 ball = 5pts, Reds

on /
behind white line, shooting forwards
FOUR-PLAY (RATED TABLE)
Regular 8 ball,
except BEFORE the break, each player picks 2 pockets
that are off-limit to
their opponent. If a player shoots a ball into those
pockets (even
accidentally) then BIH to opponent. The 8 ball also
cannot be shot into
those pockets - failure to do this results in a loss,
no matter if Yahoo
registers it as a win.
NERVE RACKER (TRAINING TABLE)
Object of the game
is to run your table before your opponent does.
You each create your own
training table and invite your opponent to it
(keep both tables open &
overlap them). NO BIH, except on scratch,
then cue ball may be placed
anywhere on table and resume shooting.
Make sure you are ready when the TD
yells GO in lobby and make sure
you can see the lobby. After you have
cleared your table go to your
opponents table and type in DONE at his / her
table. If you are first to
type it in, you are the winner.
If players are going to argue over which person typed it first, both will be dq'd as to the fact the td cant sit at every players table to see who typed done first where.
THREE-STRIKES (TRAINING TABLE)
First player in
spam to break. If you make a ball, you stand, otherwise
shoot once more.
Then each player takes 1 shot and stands - whether
you make a ball or not.
DO NOT reset the table. If you scratch,
opponent gets BIH from behind white
line, shooting forwards. First
player to miss 3 shots, loses.
FAST AND FURIOUS (TRAINING TABLE)
All games are
played on the same table - TD will invite. TD will tell you
whose turn it
is. Then you sit, and break when the TD says "Go". You
keep shooting until
you have cleared the table - TD will be timing you.
No BIH in this tourney,
except on scratch - if you scratch you may place
the cue ball anywhere on
the table and start playing again, but a 5sec
penalty will be added to your
time for each scratch (including break).
After you cleared the table the TD
will give you your time. The winner is
the person to clear the table in the
fastest time.
