Players Tournament (3/16/22)
Type of Games Played
Straight 8 ball … the 8 Ball is the only ball required to have the pocket called and pointed to.
Date and Time
Thursday 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Check-in at table in hallway starting at 2:00 PM. Room reserved from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM.
Sign-in Procedure
Upon arrival and before start of play, players will check in and will shake the “tally bottle” to obtain a “numbered pea” which will be their assigned player number. The player will then print their name on the tournament scoring sheet next to the number they drew.
Tournament Rules
The Tournament will follow the American Pool Players Association (APA) Rules. The players will lag to see who wins the right to break. The players will then play Straight 8 Ball. The winner of the game will record both the loser and winner results on the Tournament score sheet. The loser will rack the balls for the next round of games.
One exception to the APA Rules
We will follow Professional Pool Players Association (PPA) Rules to determine stripe vs. solid. Per the PPA rule, the table is always open immediately after the break shot. The next ball sunk determines stripe vs. solid.
Recognition
At the end of the tournament, the Tournament Leader calculates the winners for 1st and 2nd place, and then takes their photo. An informational email with the photo and names of the winners will be sent to the Players Billiards Group and selected members of the LHBG Board.
