128 Teams with a full field!
Modified Single Elimination 3-Person 9-Ball Team Tournament
Maximum of three individual 9-Ball matches are played each round. Players race to their skill level (using the Ball Count Chart). Each individual match is worth 1 team point. The first team to 2 team points wins.
Teams decide their roster order prior to the start of the tournament. Please confirm your roster order with your league operator prior to them registering your team!!
In the first round, the first player listed on the roster is the first player to play. The second player listed is the second to play and the 3rd player listed is the last player to play if the 3rd match is needed.
Players must stay in shooting order throughout the tournament. If a team shoots out of turn, the individual match will be forfeited.
In each round following the first, the player who has the least amount of matches starts the next round. If all players have the same amount of matches, it starts from the top again.
Any individual matches that start after the 2 hour mark will be sudden death (double points)

Players must have twenty 9Ball scores in their record (by the entry deadline) in the last two years. Players must also be on a current 9-Ball Team and all play in the same league area. Players may only participate on one team in this event.
If your area is running a qualifier for this event, each team must begin their local qualifier at a starting combined skill level of 15 or less. We will allow a maximum of 17 should players move up in Skill Level during or after your qualifying event as of November 11, 2024.
If your area is NOT running a qualifier for this event, the maximum combined skill level is 15 or less as of November 11, 2024.
Skill levels will be reviewed between each round at the MAC and therefore, can increase.
Players may continue to play if their skill levels increase, they will just have to play to the ball count of their new skill level.
If any player’s skill level increases by more than one, or if any team has more than one player go up in skill level, the team could be subject to disqualification.
Only 1 senior skill level player may be listed on the starting roster unless the league area ran a qualifier and the player moved up in skill level.
Skill Level 8’s and 9’s will count as a 7 toward the combined handicap, but must still race to their appropriate ball count.
