Tournament format and play:

Cost - $100 per team
Must have at least 3 eligible players that total 15 or less to register. You CANNOT register just to hold a spot!
Modified Single Elimination Tournament
32 team field
One senior skill level can play per match (senior skill levels are 6 & 7)
Team Captains flip a coin to determine who will declare their 3 players first. Winner of the toss can decide to declare their 3 players, or to have the opponent declare their 3 players first. The Captains then list their players in ascending order (lowest to highest). That list determines the player rotation for the match and is locked. Once players are declared, the players cannot be changed unless the 15 rule is in jeopardy.
Play starts with the first two players lagging for the break and then playing an 8ball rack. '
Whichever team wins that first rack, the next player in the rotation for their team breaks the next rack (9ball). The rotation continues alternating 8ball and 9ball games until a team has reached their Games Must Win (based on skill level total). When the 3rd game is over, it reverts back to the first players and continues that pattern until a winning team is determined.
Each rack is worth 1 team point.

PRIZE: The winning team will receive travel assistance and entry into the national tournament (August 2025). Assistance includes all funds collected via entry fees, plus additional travel assistance (POTENTIALLY UP TO $5900) contributed by the Greater DC Area APA.
