Game Rules
A maximum of 3 players allowed on roster.
The total of the skill levels of the 3 players fielded in any team match cannot exceed 15.
A player’s highest skill level (SL) in this tournament will be the highest of either the player’s skill level in 8-Ball or 9-Ball, unless the player is a SL8 or a SL9 in either format in which case their skill level in this tournament will be a SL7.
Only one player of skill level 6 or higher, sometimes referred to as a senior skill level player, may play in any given match.
Each team is limited to one coaching time-out per game. If a player is not at the table shooting, the team members can converse freely without being charged with a coaching timeout.
Alternate between 8-Ball & 9-Ball racks, starting with 8-Ball.
Each individual rack is worth one team point.
Team Captains flip a coin to decide who must declare their three players for the match first. Winner of the flip has the choice of declaring first or having the opposing Team Captain choose first.
The players are listed in ascending order (lowest to highest). That list determines the player rotation, and is locked for the match. Once both teams in a match have declared their players, the players cannot be changed unless the combined skill levels of the three players declared by a team exceed the maximum permitted combined skill level in which case the team will be allowed to declare three different players prior to first rack being struck.
Players of same skill level may be placed in order of preference.
Players lag to see who wins the first break.
Once the first two players have completed their rack of 8-Ball, the second two players in the rotation will play a rack of 9-Ball. Upon that rack’s completion, the next two players in the rotation will play a rack of 8-Ball. Once set, the player rotation continues until a team reaches the required points necessary to win the match.
The winning team breaks with the next player in the rotation after each rack.
It is a loss of game to shoot out of rotation.
