~BACKALLEY RULES~
Welcome to Backalley Shooters
We are a large league and continue to grow
We have tournaments almost 24/7 and move at a fast pace at times (back to back tourneys)
Please take the time to read over the rules listed below
Account Rules
Only 1 account (laddername) per person
If you are found to have more then one you will be asked to remove all but 1, in not doing so you can be boxed or kicked from league based on the circumstances
Respect all players and hosts
Good sportsmanship is a must win or lose
Abuse and drama in the lobby will in no way be tolerated (you may be boxed or dq'd)
This is a game to be enjoyed by all, respect to players and hosts is EXPECTED
Tournament Play
Do NOT jump more than 1 tourney at a time
Tourneys start on time or a few minutes after
If 45 sec. shot timer runs up and shot is passed back, do NOT move cue ball
No intentional fouling or scratching
If there is a draw the player who shot causing the draw loses the match
Once the game begins there is no reracking except for 8 on break
Only host can have you reset
First player called must set table ASAP or timer will start
First timer is 10 mins. second timer is 5 mins. 2 min. timer if you are in another match
Timers begin at pairings or when player goes MIA
If your opponent is MIA notify your host ASAP
It is your responsibility to make sure table is set correctly before joining
Games may be rated if both players in pairs agree
You may watch game in silence unless invited to chat by both players
TAPPING IS NOT ALOUD
A safety is defined as when the cue ball or another ball hits a rail or makes a noticable difference. If your ball is against the rail you have to make an attempt to hit it...NOT TAP IT. All others are considered a tap and will be a DQ.
Matches are reported to host in lobby like so..WINNER////NONWINNER
Laddering while in a tourney is not allowed and will be a 2 min. timer once match is called
During a tourney the TD has final say, once the decision is made if you still feel you are in the right please email an admin with full details of the problem.
Ladder Matches
You are responsible for reporting your own ladder losses
Report all ladder games before you start another match
If you feel that a player has not reported a match please wait 24 hours
If the game is still unreported fill out an "unreported match" including time and date of the match, an admin will attempt to solve the problem ASAP.
