Stale mate-If any team is not advancing the game and after 3 foul shots by each team so 6 fouls total. Then re-rack and the original breaker breaks.
If a team has an issue that can’t be resolved, they can re-rack that 1 rack and original breaker breaks
Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Depending on the situation TD could decide if the conduct needs to have a disciplinary action done such as warnings, hard warnings, BIH fouls, game loss, or a forfeit of the entire match (which would take a lot).
Breaking and Racking-
Rack your own, templates are optional, but you must bring your own. Both Players do not have to use the same racking tool
Flip a coin for the first break
Alternate breaks
When racking the 1 ball goes on the spot and the 2&3 balls go in the back corners of the rack
You can’t win or lose on the break.
If you foul on the break such as a miscue, it's your opponent’s option to break.
10 Ball Rules-
There is NOT a 3 foul rule
When racking the 1 ball goes on the spot and the 2&3 balls go in the back corners of the rack
10 ball does not count on the break in any pocket. If you make the 10 ball it is still that teams turn and spot the 10.
10 ball can be a combo shot after the break for a win. Must be called
If the cue ball is pocketed or jumps off the table, it is ball in hand for the opponent.
When on the 10 ball if you foul it’s BIH
If any other ball jumps off the table on the break or any other time it is a foul and the ball stays down and ball in hand for your opponent. If the 10 jumps on the table, it is not a loss but a foul. You spot the 10 and its ball in hand for your opponent.
If you make a ball in the wrong pocket and hook your opponent, it is their option to shoot or give it back for you to shoot.
If you accidentally knock a ball in with your hand, clothes, cue or any object then you re spot that ball. This is not a foul.
Pushing-
You can push after the break. If you do so, your opponent has the option to shoot from that position or give it back to you. If they do give it back, then it goes to the next person in the rotation. (Ex. Team 1 Players A&B vs Team 2 Players C&D, Team 1 Player A breaks and then decides to push, Team 2 Player C gives it back to Team 1, it is then Team 1 Player B’s turn. After this the next time Team 2 shoots it is now the turn of Team 2 Player D. Team 2 Player C gave up their shot when they pushed)
Move your stone-
If you play on the streaming table 1 team must take score on Digital Pool
There are stones at every table. Please leave them at the table.
Move your own stone. It is your responsibility to move your own stone. If you forget to move it please make sure both teams agree before you move it. You can also use the bracket text you will get to keep score. Table 1 has a score board in the back for people watching the stream. Please use the board if you are on that table.
If there is a disagreement on this, it will go by where the stones lie
Additonal Info-
Some things are TD decisions, ESPECIALLY when it comes to Fargo ratings and unsportsmanlike conduct.
