This Fall we're considering an ambitious tournament schedule to help get the new game room (in the new student building) going. We will start running the Handicapped Straight Ladder again, and we'll also offer the tournaments shown below.
This is a preliminary schedule and as times are likely to change please keep an eye here if you're interested in playing any of these tournaments.
Please check the specifics of the individual tournaments for information about tournament format, entry fees (if any), and prizes.
7-9-8 Ball. -- August
26, 27.
(This tournament is open to students of New Mexico Tech
only.)
There will be player limits (by division) due to table and time constraints. The format of the tournament (number of games per set) may be adjusted to fit time constraints.
Entry deadline is 5:30 pm Friday, August 25. Entry fees have been waived. The schedule will be posted in the game room by 9:00 pm Friday, August 25. Play may start as early as 9:00 am on Saturday.
The game room will open at 8:00 am Saturday for check-in and warm-up. There will be a pre-tournament meeting for all players at 8:30 am on Saturday, October 26, to review the operation of the tournament. Any alternates wishing to play should also be present before the first matches start (in case a player hasn't shown up).
Auxiliary Services will be providing the prizes for this tournament.
Players will choose which division they will play in at the time they sign up. Known players may be seeded by the Tournament Director (TD).
