Information For This Weekend's BLAST!

by San Diego APA

Congrats on making it to the 2022 Fall Session Blast with a chance to qualify for this year’s Cities in June.

  • Your Fall Session ending roster will be your Blast roster (to be posted by this Thurs).
  • Teams do not have to register upon arrival.
  • About 15 mins before your match scheduled start time we will run a quick meeting.
    • Following the meeting the referees will bring your scoresheets to your assigned table.
  • Awards as stated in the previous Blast post will be available for pickup approx. 30 mins after we start the first round.
    • We will not have 9-Ball Division winning and Playoff winning awards on Saturday (only Sunday during the 9-Ball Blast).
    • All other awards (patches, MVP, perfect session, etc) will be available both days.
  • We really like to get pictures of the Division and Playoff winning teams with your awards (win or lose) if possible, so please stop by the control desk with your team before you leave.
  • Division and Playoff winning checks can be picked up by the Captain either day.
    • If someone else from the team is picking up the check the captain MUST email or text us consent.
  • 2nd round Blast teams, please only send 1 person to the control desk if you have questions before your match starts (again no need to check in).
    • The 1st round has the largest number of teams. This, along with referees and us, makes space a little tight during this transition period.
  • Unpaid players will not be able to participate until they pay their 2023 membership.
  • Teams that win the Blast, and thus become Cities qualified, will need to finalize their roster by Feb 10th.
    • After this no adds or drops are allowed (see OTM page 77).

Please share this with your teammates to help make the day smoother for all.

Thanks and Good Luck This Weekend!

Switching Coaches During a Timeout - Rule of the Week
4/20/26 - 5:00 pm
Situation: My opponents team calls a timeout and one of the players on the team starts to give the timeout. After the coach has already talked to the player at the table they switch coaches to someone else on the team. Is this allowed? No, during their turn at the table, the shooter may discuss strategy only with the coach designated for that time-out. A coach may get a group consensus from othe
