Format
Stage 1
• 16 players seeded by US Pro Billiard Series rankings. Random draw for the remaining players. Seeding
for the first event of the season will be based on the players’ Fargo ratings.
• Double elimination to the final 16 players (8 on winners’ side & 8 on the one-loss side)
• Two sets, race to 4. If the set score is tied at 1-1 after two sets, a spot shot shootout will determine the
winner.
Stage 2
• Final 16 players from Stage 1. A new draw will determine the bracket placement (undefeated player vs one-loss side player). The order of the undefeated and one-loss players will be random.
• Single elimination
• Two sets, race to 4. If the set score is tied at 1-1 after two sets, a spot shot shootout will determine the winner.
Breaking
• Winner breaks. Lag for the opening break of the first set. The loser of the lag breaks first in the second
set.
• Rack your own using the triangle rack provided – opponents may not approach or inspect the rack
• Referee racks on the TV table – players may not approach or inspect the rack or ask for a re-rack
Shootout
If a set score is tied at 1-1 after two sets, a shootout will determine the winner. The goal is to pocket the object
ball in its designated pocket. To determine a winner the following system will be used:
• The winner of the lag at the start of the match decides the starting player of the shootout, alternating
turns thereafter. One turn by each player is an inning.
• The starting player determines the starting side from which the shootout will begin. Sides will
alternate thereafter for each inning.
• Players will play a race to four (4) points (i.e., four balls pocketed) in alternating turns. Both players get
an equal number of turns.
• Play will continue until one player reaches four (4) points and the opponent cannot tie in the same
inning.
• If both players tie at 4-4, the order of play will remain until a player reaches a score that cannot be tied
by his opponent in the same inning. This is called “Sudden Death.”
