2016 USBA Mike Fahey Memorial Handicap Tourney
- Standard USBA Rules of Play apply.
- Innings will be accurately kept for each game by loser of the lag.
- The winner of the lag has choice of cue ball, or may defer.
- Each Player is assigned a handicap based upon the higher of either Tacoma Play, their USBA Play, or one assigned by the Tournament Chairman.
- Each player begins the game by placing their Handicap on the String, and both players will play to 30 points on the string.
- If the player who broke reaches 30 points, the other player has one inning to reach 30 points and tie the game, starting with the break, but he can’t win. If the non-breaker reaches 30 points first, the game is over.
- If neither player reaches 30 points on the string the score after equal innings will be determined by which player has scored the highest percentage of his allotted points. If tied they will lag for the win.
- There will be a “Finals” for the top finishers, two from each flight, played on Sunday Morning. Depending on the make-up of the entries and the number, we may add a C/C+ finals to the mix.
- In the case of a Tie in the Flights, the results from the flight will determine which advances, Wins, Losses, Head to Head, and Fewest Points Scored against will determine the Tie-Breaker.
- There is only one Prize Pool and High Run in the Flights. Subject to revision.
- B+= 5; B= 9; C+= 13;C= 14; these are added to the players string at start.
