Just got a new message from BCA about team eligibility for 2010 This may be of interest to anyone planning on playing in the BCA nationals next year:
Please note the following NEW eligibility criteria for the 2010 BCAPL National 8-Ball Championships:
Women’s 4 Player Teams - Women’s Open Teams and Women’s Master Teams will be 4 player teams for the 2010 BCAPL National 8-Ball Championships. There are many leagues that do not have many women in the league. By changing the women’s teams to 4 players it will make it easier to form teams from their leagues. It should also increase the number of teams that participate.
Women’s Open Teams will race to 9.
Women’s Master Teams will race to 11.
Team Masters - The BCA Pool League is instituting a new player category for forming Open Teams at the BCAPL National 8-Ball Championships called Team Master. The reason for forming this new category is to eliminate the same people from forming all-star teams year after year. All individuals who were on the rosters of the top 16 Men’s Open Teams and the top 4 Women’s Open Teams since 2005 are under this new designation effective at the 2010 BCAPL National 8-Ball Championships.
A Team Master rating by an individual does not affect their rating as a singles player. If a player is rated as an Open player (and a Team Master) they are still eligible to participate in the Open Singles divisions.
The new requirements for forming an Open Team are as follows:
One Master (or Grand Master) is allowed on an Open Team
Two Team Masters are allowed on an Open Team
One Master (or Grand Master) plus one Team Master are allowed on an Open Team.
Men’s Open Teams are still required to have 3 original members on the roster.
The list of Team Masters is posted on our website:
