There must be at least 6 entries for a division to run. Each division will be limited to 16 players. If there are more than 16 entries the Tournament Director (TD) will take those signed up first (the remaining entries may start as an alternate if a starter doesn't start their first match).
If divisions are merged: a "B" player playing an "A" player would only need 35 points to win in a game to 50; a "C" player would only need 25 points against an "A" player; "C" playing "B" would need 20 points in a game to 35).
Participants are expected to know the rules for carom billiards, the general rules of billiards, and the rules and regulations governing tournament play. The player chair rule will be enforced. During a match the referee will be the only person allowed to handle the balls.
Signup will close Monday September 18 at 5:30pm. The schedule for the tournament will be posted shortly thereafter.
