2019 billiards “MARK” short-form competition
Description: a competition of billiards between teams of players.
A match is played between 2 teams. Each team can be composed
of 2-4 players. Each match consists of 4 sets, each of which is the ‘best of 3’ games. A game is played to 50. Each set is played by one player from each team. A player may play no more than 2 sets in any match. Each player is awarded a ‘Mark’, from which each player attempts to reach 50 before their opponent.
A Mark is derived from a player’s historical target averages.
(see list below)
Set-up: the first Game of a Set is commenced after the players have strung, and the order of play and ball use has been decided. The order of play will then alternate, both between visits to the table, and the commencement of further games in that set. The original ball choice will stand throughout the set. The commencement of each game is to be as for a full ball re-spot; red on spot, opponent’s ball on centre spot, and breaking player in hand.
Points: Each set is worth 2 points to the winning player’s team.
If the winning player has won their 2 games with their opponent more than
5 points behind in both games the winner earns a bonus 1 point (ie. 3 points for the set).
If the losing player gets to 45 points or more in either losing game they earn 1 bonus point for their team ( ie 1 point for the set)
The match winning team is the one with the most accumulated points at the end of the match. No points are given for a ‘dead’ game (ie. A player wins the first 2 games, set over).
Sets are either won or lost with scores of 3-0 or 2-1.
All matches have 12 points to be determined.
A PLAYER’S “MARK” DOES NOT CHANGE THROUGH THE COMPETITION.
Rules: The Rules of Billiards apply with the following ‘local rules’;
1. start of each game is as described above,
2. an opponent’s ball may not be potted directly, or indirectly off an
adjacent cushion, without another score being made in the stroke,
penalty ‘foul’.
3. no more than 3 pots, not in conjunction with another scoring shot, can
be made consecutively; penalty ‘foul’. This rule does not regard
‘losing hazards’ as ‘pots’.
