Create your own dream team!  Players don’t have to be all on the same team together locally to play in this event!  All players must have 20 matches on their record in the last 2 years in the format they wish to play and all must be active on a team in that format in the summer session in our Greater DC Area APA.

Modified Single Elimination Bracket

Any roster changes must be emailed by May 14th to be considered

All of the entry fees will be given to the winning teams for travel assistance to get to CT

OUR QUALIFIER FORMAT WILL BE A DIFFERENT FORMAT THAN THE ACTUAL NORTHEAST CHALLENGE IN ORDER TO SAVE TIME, OPEN IT UP TO A LARGE ENOUGH FIELD AND GET DOWN TO 2 WINNERS IN 1 DAY.

We will run a format similar to the Team Captain Qualifiers.  Teams will choose their 5 players that can make the 23 rule and list them in order low to high.  Those players will match up to the opponent’s roster accordingly.  Each match up will play 1 rack.  Whichever team wins that rack will break the next rack.

For 8ball – It is a race to 5 racks

For 9Ball – It is a race to 50 cumulative points for the team.  Points are scored just as APA 9ball is normally scored for an individual match.  For instance – Player A gets 3 points in the first rack and player B gets 7 points and makes the 9ball.  Team A gets 3 points toward their goal of 50, Team B gets 7 points toward their goal of 50 and Team B’s next player breaks the next rack.

One timeout per rack

All other typical APA rules apply.

Masters Qualifier:

Qualifier Date:  5/17 - Arrive at 2:30, Start at 3PM
