MOVING UP/DOWN LEVELS: In league match play , the spot and race is assigned in the beginning of each match according to the level chart , if a player wins their match by 10 balls or more of the final score then this player goes up one level for next week, the losing player goes down one level.
If a match is won by less than 10 balls then both players remain at that handicap.
**EXAMPLE: "B" player is playing a "C" player , with the B player being the highest handicap makes the RACE to 80 according to the level chart , the C player gets a 40 ball spot on the score beads in the beginning (on the wire) because the difference between the 2 handicaps is 40 , so the match starts off C player = 40 and B player = 0 on the beads , the B player has to pocket 80 balls before C player pockets 40 balls to get to 80. If B player wins 80 to 67 , then the difference between the C players final score of 67 (with the spot) and B players final score of 80 is 13 balls , so the B player won by 13 balls and this B player moves up one level and the C player moves down one level. If the C player had won the match with this same score then the C player moves up one level and the B player would move down one level..

****STARTING YOUR LEAGUE****:
----------------------------------------------
A minimum of 8 players and maximum of 16 players are required to form a 14and1.com league. Leagues are set up that each player plays all other players twice , chart below shows length of leagues according to number of players and based on once a week league play..
8 players = 14 weeks
9 players = 16 weeks
10 players = 18 weeks
11 players = 20 weeks
12 players = 22 weeks
13 players = 24 weeks
14 players = 26 weeks
15 players = 28 weeks
16 players = 30 weeks
OPENING DAY: The first week of league play ALL players start as a B level , there are no "bonus points" awarded during the first 3 weeks of league play , only 2 points for a win is awarded. This allows time for the handicaps to naturally adjust , and without allowing any player to surge to far ahead in points. In the 4th week of league play the bonus point system kicks on in addition to the 2 points for a win.
The final standings of any particular league is determined by overall points won during the entire league , win points and bonus points added together.
TIES: In case of a tie at the end of a league , use the 2 matches the 2 players that are tied played during the regular session , if one of the players won both those matches then this player wins the tiebreaker , if they were even on those 2 matches then the 2 players play a 1 game playoff using their current handicaps.
Players must play a minimum of 10 matches during a sanctioned league to be eligable for final standings rewards or tournaments outside of league play.
