8 Ball Pool Tournament
We have weekly 8 Ball tournaments on Wednesdays at 7pm. The entry fee is $10.
We will play a double elimination bracket. Prizes are awarded to the top 2 or 3 players depending on the number of participants.
We play 8 Ball using bar rules. Below are some rules to keep in mind:
• there are no fouls (except scratches).
• a scratch on any shot results in ball-in-hand in the “kitchen” (behind the head string), and you must shoot the CB out of the kitchen before contact with a ball or cushion.
• if you pocket one or more balls on the break, the group with the largest number of balls down becomes your group (i.e., the table is not open).
• if the 8-ball is pocketed on the break, you win (unless you scratch, in which case you lose).
• if you hit one of your balls first and pocket one of your balls, you keep shooting (i.e., “slop” counts).
• safeties are considered “dirty pool.”
