Fall 2025 8 Ball Tri Annual Bracket  

A few tips to help you avoid sudden death.

Put up the players for the next match before the current match is finished.  That gives the players a chance to use the bathroom before their match starts.  The players in the second match should be lagging for the break within 1 minute of the end of the previous match.

Keep your Timeouts to 1 minute or less.  

Pace of play - 20 seconds for a routine shot 45 seconds for a difficult shot.  If you have slow players it is now time to speed them up.  Police your own team, team captains should be telling their own players to speed up.
