TOURNAMENT FORMAT 2016-2017
For its 2016-2017 season ABO is guided by two main objectives:
1- Increasing participation in tournaments
2- Starting tournaments earlier in order to finish the day around 8 P.M.
Most ABO players are already rated in classes B, A, AA, AAA, SP or Pro.
Some fine tuning, before the season starts, will be necessary. An advisory committee will be struck to help ABO decision making.
For ABO tournaments, players will be divided into 3 main groups with similar skill levels.
Every month, starting at 10:30 AM (with registration at 9:30)
1- There will be a tournament for B and A players together,
- Races to 7
- 9 Ball, regular rules except for 9 off the break that doesn't count
- Double elimination with last 8 or 4 in single elimination depending on number of players in field
- A player will give one handicap game to B player
- Alternate break
- Magic rack mandatory
- Entry fee: $20 for B players
$30 for A players
