League Guidelines 01/9/24

  1. WINNING TEAM will turn in the envelope. Home Team provides the envelope.

  2. Team score sheets/envelopes must be turned in no later than Noon Saturday. The Drop Box is located at Slims.

  3. We MUST have the WHITE COPY OF THE SCORE SHEET FROM BOTH TEAMS!! Both sheets MUST be signed verifying the score sheets are correct.

  4. Both score sheets must match! If there are any discrepancies between the two sheets, the lowest score will be used. Break and Runs (BR) and Table Runs (TR) must be recorded on BOTH score sheets to be valid. You will only be awarded credit if indicated on both score sheets.

  5. A penalty will be imposed for any late envelope.

  6. Weekly fees are due the night of play. NO Pay – NO Play.

  7. The Opposing Team Captain must be notified no later than 5PM the night of play if a postponement is necessary. The League Coordinator must also be notified at time of postponement and the date of reschedule.

  8. Rescheduled matches must be played within two (2) weeks. All League makeup games will be scheduled for the same time as the original match was to take place, (7:00PM), UNLESS a time is agreed upon by BOTH captains. There will be NO exceptions. If the match has not been played within the allotted time frame, the team that requested the reschedule will receive a forfeit for that week. The Captain that requested the reschedule is responsible for arranging the earliest make-up date. There will be NO reminder calls.

  9. Roster changes in Division B are to be approved by the Coordinator prior to implementing change.

  10. Players will break their own rack.

  11. Legal hit determination/Video of close shots —

    • If the 2 players (with no outside observer involved) cannot agree on the call, the game is to be re-racked and played again with same break choice.  Either player may ask to have the shot watched. Does not have to be a Captain – most BCA experienced player is optimal.  If there is a simultaneous hit, the tie goes to the shooter.

    • Use of cell phone to determine legal shot is to only be used in addition to 2 outside players observing shot.  If the 2 outside players cannot make a determination, then the video recording may be referenced to make the determination. (BCA does not recommend use of cell phone video for monitoring of legal shots due to numerous variables. However individual Leagues may establish own By-Laws/Rules.)

  12. If a player scratches on the break, the opposing player gets ball in hand anywhere on the table.

  13. BCA rules apply.

  14. Be considerate of cell phone use while playing. Only emergency phone calls should be answered.

  15. All matches should start at 7:00 p.m.  If there is a problem with an opponent (i.e., team or player no show) contact the League Coordinator by 7:15 p.m.  Forfeit time is 7:30 p.m. for a team or player, that has no showed.
