Purpose: to determine the OBG champions for 2014.
Date to be held: Wednesday, December 3, 2014, 10:00 AM.
Coffee and donuts will be served at 9:00 AM. We would like to have
everyone there by 9:30 to take a group picture.
Qualifiers: top four teams from each session (winter 2013 and
fall 2014) will be invited. In the event of a tie, a playoff
will be held on the week of the draft following the session to determine
the top two teams. Should a member qualify on more than one team
that member will play on the team on which he qualified first.
The member will be replaced on the team or teams on which he
subsequently qualified by the member of the same skill level on the team
that placed the highest without qualifying in that session. It will have
to be an A for an A, or a B for a B. If any team member is
not available to play, then a person will be selected in the same manner
as above. There will be 32 players playing.
Each team will play each of the other 7
teams. There will be 28 games played by each team.
Play proceeds with two team members at one table and two team members at
the other table. The games will be played as one game of
8-ball and one game of 9-ball on each table. There will be a
total of 28 points available to each team. At the conclusion of
play in the event of a tie there will be a playoff. The team
that wins will be designated OBG champions for the year 2014.
Two tables are assigned to each match. Two
players from each team will play on each table just as in normal weekly
play. There will be a coin toss with one team captain
calling the toss; the winner of the toss may either:
1.) assign his players to each of the tables,
or
2.) defer to the other captain to make that
determination.
Following the selection of which players
shall play on each of the tables by one of the captains, the opposing
captain will determine which players will be the opponents.
Each pair will then toss a coin for their
match with a player from one of the pairs calling the toss. The
winner can choose to break either 8-ball or defer and break 9-ball.
The loser of the toss will break the game that the winner did not
choose. Eight ball is played first.
The OBG has purchased a plaque to hang on the
wall, with 12 available plates to have engraved with the winners name
for the next 12 years. Each plate will have the team name,
team captain and the entire team member’s names on it.
The winning team members each will be
presented with a trophy (at a later date so that the player’s names will
be on the trophy.
