Part I   -   Round Robin Schedule

Here's the Round Robin setup for the first part of the tournament.

The games will be limited by innings, and points.   The inning limit will be 30 innings.   The point limit will be: 12-points for an "A" player, 8-points for a "B" player, and 5-points for a "C" player.

Each game will end when the required number of points is reached (first one there on points wins).   If the inning limit is reached both players will have an equal number of innings.   It will be possible to have tie games as well as tie matches.

If a game ends on innings then the progress of the players will determine who won.   For wxample, if an "A" got 7 points and a "B" got 5 points then "B" would win as 5/8 (0.625) is greater than 7/12 (0.583).

In case of a tie in matches won the tie breakers will be:

  1. Head to head play.
  2. Round Robin, Points per Inning (by 5% margin).
  3. Best Match, Points per Inning (by 5% margin).
  4. Highest run.
  5. High run average.
  6. Flip of a coin.

Players, please arrange to have somebody keep score for your match.   (It will allow you to better concentrate on your game.)

NOTES:

  • Clean the table before each match for consistent conditions (like having sufficient speed for five or more cushions).
  • Numbers in parenthesis are starting scores per game.
  • If called on innings play will be on an equal inning basis.
  • Make every effort to play at scheduled time for those who may be interested in watching the match.
  • If you reschedule be sure to update the schedule sheet and phone the tournament director.

    For a handicapped (cross-division) game the spot will be prorated to determine how much of the spot is used in determining winner of unfinished games.   A half-point or less will round down, while more than a half-point will round up.   For example in a game where the spot is three points and the spotting player has reached six points (in a game to eight points) the applied handicap would be two ((6/8)*3 or 2.375 -> 2) points.

    For cross-division (handicapped) matches the starting scores (in games to twelve points) will be:

    1. A vs A     0 - 0
    2. A vs B     0 - 4
    3. A vs C     0 - 7
    4. B vs B     4 - 4
    5. B vs C     4 - 7
    6. C vs C     7 - 7

    If a handicapped game is tied the tie will be broken by:

    1. seeing who reached the final score earliest (by inning)
    2. high run (prorated)

    In case of a tie in games the match will be won based on:

    1. Total points.
    2. High run.
    3. High run average.
