Assuming there are 21 players, there will be three (3) flights of seven (7) players, round-robin format. Flight play will be on Friday and Saturday. Two players from each flight will advance to the Final 6-player round-robin to be held on Sunday, and the top 4 players qualify to the USBA nationals.

All games will be to 25 points. This is not a handicap tournament. The groups and schedule of play will be generated prior to the day of the tournament and will be notified to all players so you know the exact time you need to be present for your first game. All matches will be limited to 40 innings to make sure we stay on schedule. There will be an equalizer shot, and if match ends in a tie, break shots will decide winner.

The top 4 finishers will have their entry fee to the USBA National Championship Tournament (“NCT”) paid (if 20-21 players sign up, 3 or less players qualify with fewer players), in addition to whatever prize money they may win. Number and amounts of prizes will be based on the number of players. The NCT will be held at: 5000 Years Carom Billiards in Morton Grove, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, from September 8 to 11, 2022. The players meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 7 at 7:00 p.m.
