• IFPA Scoring - 7,5,3,1 and 7,4,1 for groups of 3
• If you play out of turn you will be DQ'd from that game and receive ZERO points, the other players will plunge out your remaining balls - this means you can NOT play that game in this round any longer.
• Qualifying will END once someone reaches the number 50 points - this will be at least 7 rounds
• Top 8 to finals if we have over 50 players there will be the top 16 to finals.
• Next 8 to B finals - you are NOT eligible for B if you have previously won a LP B division (B division will NOT change your tournament results)
<<<< FINALS >>>>
• Top 8 to finals.... If we have over 50 players there will be the top 16 to finals
• Don't forget all tie breakers are on OLD CHICAGO (if it's working) - these are house rules.
