A new American 8 Ball (1 shot) Premier League is starting this Sunday, 17th August at Queensland’s newest Pool Venue on the Gold Cost - ‘No.9 Dream’. The competition will be based on a round-robin system and progress into a 5-finalist playoff system. The competition is also handicapped, with a range of -1 to +3 assigned to each player based on their ability. This handicap lasts for the duration of the competition and is the no of frames start given to the player prior to the commencement of the match. Effectively a +3 handicap player would need to win 6 frames in a race to 9 prior to a -1 handicap player reaching 10.
Entry Fees: $50 plus $5 per match. Total fee will be $150 per player, with a 10% discount if all fees are paid by 31st August. Even if you chose not to pay all fees up front, the initial $50 must be received by 31st August and each $5 at each match.
Registration: All players must have completed their registration by 31st August. Register at Q-Masters, No.9 Dream or contact Mark Prociv (0439 454819) or Mike Vokes (0412 332188)
Match Times: Matches will be played at the convenience of both players, however, if players are unable to agree on a suitable date, we will allocate a mutually convenient time for the match to be completed.
Scoring: All matches are a race to 9, with 3 points allocated to the winning player.
A bonus point is allocated to the losing player if they reach a score of 5, including handicap.
Eg. If Player 1 (Handicap of 2) wins 4 frames against Player 2 (Handicap 0) who wins 9 frames, Player 1 would receive 1 bonus point (4+2>5) and Player 2 would receive 3 points for the win.
Table Hire: We have negotiated with the venues to allow players to have the first hour of each of their matches free, however, if the match exceeds this time, the players will be expected to pay the remainder of the table hire. You will BOTH be required to present your match voucher in order to validate your match prior to play.

1st $1500, 2nd $800, 3rd $500
