Conduct During League Play
8/15/25 - 6:29 pm
LEAGUE REMINDER: SPORTSMANSHIP, ETIQUETTE & GENERAL CONDUCT As we head into a new session, we want to take a moment to remind all teams, players and captains alike, about a few key expectations that help ensure our league remains competitive, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone involved. 📘 Know the Rules All captains and team members are expected to be familiar with or know how to locate:
Tri-Annual (BLAST) vs World Qualifer (Cites) Rosters
8/19/25 - 5:00 pm
Tri-Annual (formally BLAST) Rosters Will align with the roster at the conclusion of the session for the specific Tri-Annual event being played. For example: Summer Tri-Annual is being played based on the Summer session. Therefore players who meet the necessary eligibility requirements and were on your team at the end of the Summer session will be the roster that will show up for the Summer Tri-Ann

When it was my turn at the table I thoughts I was solids, I started shooting solids and after making 2 balls I realized I was stripes. Can I switch back to stripes and keep shooting? Yes, if a foul is not called before the shooter takes a subsequent shot, and makes legal contact with a ball of their actual category (in 8-Ball) or th
