📣📣 ATTENTION ALL BLAST PARTICIPANTS

Both the San Diego APA and Pockets Billiards & Brew will be requiring that ALL participants in the BLAST Tournaments this weekend strictly follow the APA Play Safe Campaign

1. If you have tested positive for covid within the last 3 weeks, or if you don't feel well or have a fever, please stay home. 

2. Masks will be mandatory for ALL participants whether vaccinated or not. This means players must wear masks AT ALL TIMES, except in the process of ACTIVELY eating or drinking – this means no walking around with a beer in hand and considering it drinking….no just having food in front of you and considering it eating….you must be in the ACTIVE PROCESS of putting liquid in your mouth or food in your mouth to have your mask off temporarily. So take a sip, put your mask right back on…. Take a bite, put your mask right back on. ALSO, players must wear masks while shooting. 😷

3. Use your own equipment and disinfect your equipment between uses. 

4. Use hand sanitizer frequently and wash your hands with soap and water before and after your match. 🙌

5. No handshakes. Find another way to express your respect for your opponent such as a verbal "good game" or thumbs up. 👍

6. No lagging. Please flip a coin to determine the break. 

7. Keep some distance. Do your best to social distance.6 feet is the length of a cue stick held at arm's length. 🖐
