Rules for Match Play

Rules for Match Play:

- Each player may try up to 3 times to complete the shot. In the gathering zone, the Cue ball (Yellow) and the first object ball (White) may touch the borders of the zone.

- Each player will receive a number by drawing lots. Player number 1 starts with Group 1 and plays all 4 shots in the group. Then each subsequent player plays the Group in turn. Then Player 2 starts Group 2 and so on through Group 18.

For Group 19, the players are put in the order of:
(1) the highest number of points
(2) if a tie, then the fewest total shot attempts
(3) if a tie, then the most shots solved (i.e., successful execution)
(4) if a tie, then the largest amount of high point value shots

- Then for Group 19, the lowest player in the ranking starts and the highest player in the ranking is last. The winner is determined by the same rankings as above.

The Shot Program, Groups and Point Assignments:

In the WBP, each shot is assigned a degree of difficulty by use of point values, where each shot carries a point value between 4 and 11 points. A perfect score for successful execution of all shots is 500 points.
