Whether you’re playing or just coming to support your crew, here’s everything you need to know before we kick things off.
For your convenience, but don't skip the good stuff below.
The 50% Rule Matters
Teams must have finished in the top half of their division after qualifying to stay eligible. Didn’t? You’re still playing, but know that handicap reviews are in full effect.
Skill Levels Must Be Accurate
Observers Will Be On-Site
Skill levels can change during the event. We’ll have Observers watching matches and assisting with evaluations. If you see a “W” next to a player’s name on the scoresheet, that match will be watched. Play fair, play smart, and keep score appropriately.
Every Player Signs the Certification Statement
You’ll sign before you shoot. This confirms your skill level is accurate and your team is legit. If you think a player may be under-ranked, this is your chance to fix that without penalty. Learn more about the Team Certification Statement.
Scorekeeping Isn’t Optional
Scorekeeping matters — a lot. It helps ensure fair play and protects your team. If you’re not sure how to fill out a scoresheet correctly, we’re here to help! Just ask at the Control Table. Intentional errors or sloppy scorekeeping can lead to serious consequences, including disqualification — so let’s get it right together. Watch this video to learn how to keep score on paper in 9-ball.
Team Fees Must Be Paid
All team fees must be paid in full before your first match. If your team has an outstanding balance, you will not be allowed to play until it's resolved. Need to check your balance or make a payment? Contact us before Saturday so we can keep things running smoothly. Let’s avoid any hold-ups at the Control Table.
This tournament qualifies teams for the World Pool Championships and as such, the APA National Office sets the rules governing this event. All teams and players are expected to know and adhere to the rules outlined in this document.
