The Tacoma Billiard Federation Presents:

2017 Mike Fahey NW Open Handicap Tourney

• Standard USBA Rules of Play apply
• Innings will be accurately kept for each game by loser of the lag
• Each Player is assigned a handicap based upon USBA BPI Standards, or one assigned by the Tournament Chairman. We will use your historical USBA Average if available.
• Each player begins the game by placing their Handicap on the String, and both players will play to 30 points on the string
• There will be a “ Single Elimination Finals”on Sunday morning for the top  finishers, depending upon number of flights and entries.
• The Game in your flight counts in the finals, ties will be broken by win-loss, head-to-head, and most actual points scored.
• There is only one Prize Pool determined by the number of entries and the donations made by our generous benefactor.
• The ideas from the Committee were developed for you with the idea of encouraging more of these Tourneys with the Handicaps providing a more equal chance for all to finish in the money. Handicaps will be revised prior to each Tourney for those that participated to insure fairness.
• The handicaps are as follows: A= 0 B+= 5; B= 9; C+= 13; C = 15; these are added to the players string at start of the game
