1.3 WHO PLAYS FIRST - HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE (8-BALL RULE)

The home team gets to determine if they would like to put up a shooter first or if the visiting team puts up a shooter first. After this is announced the designated team to put up first must announce which shooter they will be playing first. The opposing team can then put up the shooter they would like to challenge. After each match, putting up a shooter first will rotate between the teams until all of the matches are over.

NOTE: Once a team fields a player the fielded player can not be changed.

THE "BLIND PUT UP OPTION"
The local League operator, at the beginning of the session, may exercise the "Blind Put Up Option". The Blind Put Up Option requires that very high skill level players be put up blind before their match. In other words they must be fielded for their match during league night before knowing who their opponent is. The options available for the league operators are: 

  • 130 skill level and higher. 
  • 140 skill level and higher.
  • 150 skill level and higher.
