Bank the 8

The rules here are very simple, play all matches as normal tourney games, on protected, rated, untimed tables. The only exception is the winning shot. Either the cue ball or the 8 ball MUST to be banked and pocketed in the correct designated pocket. This must be a clear bank, AFTER the bank takes place, the banked ball MUST travel at least 2 ball-lengths before either hitting the object ball (in the case of the cue ball being banked) or being sunk(this is of course the decision of the td, if they believe it was a clear bank, their word stands, if they believe it was not a clear bank, then it is a loss). Anything other than this results in a loss. The TD MUST BE INVITED for the bank shot. The person which pots the 8ball is responsible for getting the TD to the table. If the TD isn’t invited, it will result in a DQ.

Back To Top

Full Power

This tourney is played just like a regular tourney, with the exception of EACH SHOT must be played with full power (to the top of the red area on the power bar). Each player needs to hold the power on each shot for at least 2 seconds, so your opponent can see that you are shooting with full power. If you do not shoot with full power, you can and will be DQ’d from the tourney.

Gentlemen's 8

The game play for this tourney will be the most familiar for all players. All shots must be 'called', in the chat box at the bottom of the pool table. YOU MUST CALL ALL BANK SHOTS, 'KISSES' (where the cue will hit the desired ball more than once) and COMBOS. However, there is NO BALL IN HAND. If someone scratches the cue ball, you may ONLY MOVE THE CUE from BEHIND THE FOUL LINE AND YOU MAY ONLY PLAY A BALL IN FRONT OF THE FOUL LINE. If there is no ball in front of the foul line, then you must bank the shot to try hit your ball. If you deliberately scratch, it will be considered a snooker and you could be disqualified. You may not move it anywhere in front of it. If someone fouls and hits the wrong ball, you may not move the cue ball. You must PLAY FROM WHERE THE CUE BALL STOPS. You must make your target ball, or the shot is considered a miss. Also, if the table is open, you must choose the same suite as the target ball you picked when you made your shot.

Killer

All games to be played on TRAINING TABLES This is a 3 or 4 player bracket per round Tables are protected and players shoot in the order in which they joined the table. The player that breaks get 2 shots ONLY if they miss a ball on break if they make one on break they shoot again. As soon as a player shoots they stand and the next player sits to shoot. When a player misses a shot or scratches, they lose 1 life. Each player has 2 lives at the begining of each rd. As soon as a player loses 2 lives in the trny they are finished and leave the table, the round is over when only 1 person is remaining.

Back To Top

Last Pocket

Game play is normal tourney conditions. No shots need to be called, nor banked. The one difference is, the pocket where your last ball went in, is the same pocket that the 8 ball MUST be pocketed. Failure to do this, results in a loss, no matter if Yahoo registers it as a win. TD needs too be present to see the final shots.

Back To Top

Mystery Pocket

This tournament is to be played as a Swiss style and as if it were a regular tournament game. The difference here is that the 8 must be sunk in the pocket that the TD specifies IN THE LOBBY AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH ROUND or else it will be counted as a loss. The TD must be invited to the table before shooting the 8 ball to bear witness and avoid possible conflicts later.

Back To Top

Point Tourney

Format is 1v1 - bux up to TD   8ball = 5 points   Regular balls = 1
You play on a training table each taking turns. You shoot until you miss. There must be a TD at each game to take score. The person with the most points at the end of the game wins and advances. If tie by any chance you must play the same player again and first person to 5 wins. If the person that breaks doesnt make 1 off the break, they get another shot. Any disputes with a TD's decision will result in automatic DQ.

Pot The Most Balls

In this Type of tourney, all games are played on a TRAINING table. When playing you:

  1. Sit.
  2. Break.
  3. Shoot again as the break does not count as a miss.
  4. Keep shooting untill you miss and then stand and count how many balls "points" you have.
  5. Opponent sits and shoots untill they miss.
  6. Repeat steps 1-5 so that each player has had two (2) turns.
  7. Add up the total amount of points for each player the player with the most points wins.

    If you scratch that counts as a miss, you can shoot the 8 ball in at any time during the game, you can not move the cue ball when it says ball in hand.

Back To Top

Suicide

Matches are to be played on protected, UNRATED and untimed tables. As per usual if the eight ball is sunk on break it is an instant rerack. However the aim of this tourney is to sink the black first before your opponent. After the break, either you or your opponent MUST sink a stripe or solid before the 8 ball is potted. You may combo your own balls into the 8, but you cannot hit the other player's ball first in the combo. Also: Scratching on the 8 ball results in you losing the round, You CANNOT scratch and pot 8 ball same time. Just remember the aim of this game is to LOSE. Any problems contact the hosting TD.

Back To Top

Timed Tourney

Each match in this tourney, must be played on a protected, rated and timed table. Games are played as normal otherwise, following all the league rules, with the exception of a couple of things. If your opponent gets booted, or disconnected, play STOPS after you miss your shot and the hosting TD NEEDS to be called to the table immediately. Play resumes when your opponenet returns and they have however long is left on the timer, whether it's the full 2 minutes or less. They ARE NOT allowed ball in hand, unless there was a foul or scratch, and the TD MUST be notified of that.

Back To Top

2v2 Team Tourney

This tourney is played with two people per 'team' or side. All four members are at the same table, which is to be UNRATED, untimed and PROTECTED. The game play for a 2v2: One player of each team takes a seat. When one player misses the pocket (doesn't sink the ball) and the turn switches to the opposing team, that person stands up and lets their partner take the next shot. Each take turns until they either win or their opposing team wins. If a team member misses their turn or their partner takes their shot for them, they are disqualified. This is a TEAM EFFORT, not solo. TIMERS: If one team member gets booted or would normally require a timer in a 1v1, then game play stops unless it is still the opponents shot. Game play resumes only when the team member comes back or is responsive. Even if one 'half' of the team remains, the timer still stays on. If the timer runs out, then that team is disqualified. As per regular tourneys, no snookering, or deliberate safeties. Unlike regular tourneys, team members may discuss in the chat box (at the table) their next plan of attack or 'shot'.

Back To Top

Around the Table

2 players per table. This game is to be played on TRAINING TABLES. Top bracket breaks. Break does not count as a shot. Once the break is done, that player starts out by shooting ANY ball into the top right corner (the pocket at the top of table next to the big english ball). The order for each shot after is as follows: top middle, top left, bottom left, bottom middle and bottom right. If you miss or scratch*, your turn is over and the next time you sit, you start with the pocket you left off at. Next player then sits and shoots WITHOUT resetting the table, starting with the top right pocket and following the same order. If you slop a ball into another pocket and miss your target pocket, your turn is over. If you INTENTIONALLY shoot a ball into the wrong pocket, you will be disqualified. The first player to make it around the table will be declared the winner. (*Note - If you scratch on the FINAL pocket - bottom right - your turn is over and you must stand, on your next attempt you must pot a ball in that pocket to win, without scratching.)

Back To Top

Spots and Stripes

2 Players per Table. This game is to be played on a training table. Top bracket breaks. Break does not count as a shot. The object of the game is to sink solids and stripes alternating. You may start with either, but once one type is sunk, the shots following must alternate suits. (i.e. - If a stripe is sunk first, the next ball must be a solid, then stripe again.) If you miss or scratch, you stand and your opponent sits and continues WITH the type left off. If you SLOP the wrong type in, that ball must be pulled out of the rack and spotted where the cueball sits at the beginning of the game. If you pot the 8 ball EARLY, you lose. The person who sinks the 8 ball - without scratching - once the table is cleared, will be declared the winner.

When calling the pocket, you MAY NOT choose a pocket that is blocked by balls as this would be considered a snooker. If there is a scratch while on the 8, the player MUST spot the cue ball anywhere on the table BEFORE the type of shot is called. You MAY NOT call the same type of shot twice in a row, you must choose one of the other choices. (I.E - You may not call Bank twice in a row) If a player misses 3 times on the 8, you may choose ANY of the 3 shots again (rotation style). If 8 is pocketed other then how specified by opponent, it will be considered a loss.

Call All Shots

This will be the most difficult of all tourneys, because a staff member NEEDS to be present at each table. (3 TD's to be present at the minimum.) All matches will be played on protected, rated, untimed tables. EACH SHOT MUST BE DESIGNATED or called in text in the chat box where it can be witnessed. If you 'slop' the shot and it goes in another pocket, this will be determined to be a foul. If this happens, you must tap the ball to give your opponent ball in hand. If you 'slop' another ball that wasn't designated, this is considered a foul, but will not result in ball in hand, just a change of possession. If you make the designated shot and pocket another ball in the same shot, play continues as normal. If you miss the shot, and do not 'slop' another shot, play continues with a change of possession.You also MUST 'call' if you intend on doing a 'combo' (where you hit one of your balls to hit another one or few balls, to sink the desired ball). Example: purple stripe on the green stripe, top left pocket. You do NOT need to call a rail shot. Before taking any shot you must tell the supervising TD the shot you intend to take and then wait for them to say ok, or the equivalent.

Fast n Furious

    1. All games are played ON THE SAME TRAINING TABLE.
    2. Each player starting at the top bracket of round 1 will sit down and break when the TD is ready.
    3. The TD will start the timer and you have as much time as needed to clear table.
    4. If you scratch, you need to pull the cueball out of the rack and place it anywhere on the table and start playing again. A 5-second penalty will be added to your time for each scratch, even off break.
    5. After you have cleared the table, TD will give you your time.
    6. The next opponent will then sit; press reset and do the same thing.
    7. If you are at the table to play or watch you MAY NOT talk during the game. This is distracting to the players and is not necessary. If you continue to talk during the game, the TD has the right to boot you from the table until it is your turn to play. The TD may also make the table private in the event of other problems.
    8. Lowest time for that bracket to clear table advances to the next round.

Back To Top

Follow the Leader

This game is to be played on TRAINING Tables. Top bracket sits first and breaks. Break doesn't count. Player 1 shoots again and pots any ball EXCEPT the 8. If player 1 pots a ball this becomes their suite for the entire game (i.e. - Player 1 pots a Stripe and shoots at Stripes the rest of the game.) After the 1st ball is sunk, that player will stand, and their opponent will sit and attempt to pot a ball of their suite into the SAME pocket as the 1st player. If you make one of your balls into the "leader's" pocket, you become the leader and shoot again, choosing any pocket you wish, and your opponent must then try to pot one in the pocket you chose. If you miss, scratch or slop a ball into a pocket other than the "leader's" pocket, your turn is over and you must stand. ALL Slopped Balls must be spotted back on the table where the cue ball is spotted at the start of the game. Game play continues this way until you come to the 8. If you are the leader and it is your shot, you may pot the 8 into any pocket you choose. If you are following the leader and you are on the 8, you MUST sink it into the "leader's" pocket. The first player to sink the 8 correctly wins the match and advances.

What's the Score?

This game is to be played on a TRAINING Table. Upper bracket sits first. Before starting the game, each player picks ANY ball (other than the 8) to be their 5 point ball.
Player 1 sits, breaks and takes another shot. Any balls potted on the break do not count towards your score. If a normal ball is potted on the second shot, it is worth 1 point. If the ball that You Called at the start of the game or the 8 ball is potted, it is worth 5 points and is brought out of the rack and spotted on the head string line where the cue ball originally sits at the start of the game. Players alternate taking 1 shot, either potting a 1 point or 5 point ball. If you pot your opponent's 5 point ball, you automatically lose. Each time the 8 ball or a 5 point ball is potted, it is spotted back on the table, until there is only 1 normal (1 point) ball left. When there is 1 normal ball left, the player whose turn it is must pot the normal ball. After there are no more 1 point balls left on the table, the 5 point balls are potted and not brought back out on the table, the 8 ball being the last ball to be potted. The player with the highest score after the 8 ball is potted for the final time is the winner.
(*Note - If you pot a ball and scratch, the points still count and your turn is over. If you scratch your opponent may use Ball In Hand BEHIND the head string line only.)

10 Shot Tourney

2 players per table. All games to be played on protected training tables, but in a Best of 3 format. (Each sit counts as 1 match in the best of 3.)

    1. Top person in bracket sits first.
    2. The player sits and gets ten shots, break counts as first shot. Scratch on break is a RERACK. You get 10 shots regardless of if you scratch or miss.
    3. If you scratch you get Ball in Hand behind the head string line. If you miss, you shoot from where the ball lies. The total number of balls made during these ten shots is your score.
    4. Once you complete your 10 shots, count up your score, and then stand and your opponent sits and takes their 10 shots.


*(Note: It is easiest if your opponent counts out the shots taken as you shoot. e.g.: You shoot, they type 1, you shoot again they type out 2, to help keeps things clear.)

**(Best of 3 format example: Player 1 wins 1st sit 10-8. Player 2 wins 2nd sit 8-6. 3rd match (sit) to be played as tie breaker. If either player wins 1st two sits, there is no need for the tie breaker.)
