"Best Of The Rest"

Tournament

  

The “Best of the Rest” Tournament is a tournament that is open to all Session 1 (Summer), Session 2 (Fall), and Session 3 (Spring) teams lost in the playoffs against a Wild Card team. If the team participates in a playoff match in subsequent sessions, they are no longer eligible tor this event. This is an additional opportunity to qualify for the Tri-Cup Tournament.  The “Best of the Rest” tournament will take place following the end of the playoffs in Session 3 (Spring). To be eligible to participate in this tournament, players must have at least six scored matches with that team during the regular session (for Illinois Divisions in 2021 Spring-players must have played at lease four times with the team during the regular session).

 

Tournament Structure

 
Single elimination team event. Multi-table format may be used (update for 5/18/21...we will use triple table format!)..
 
This is a qualifying tournament only - no cash payout.
 
The number of teams advancing to the Tri-cup Tournament via "Best of the Rest" Tournament in both 8-ball and 9-Ball will depend on the number of entries into the "Best of the Rest" and the availability of slots in the Session 3 Tri-Cup Tournaments. 
 
 Modified Race for 8-Ball:
 
  • Only three players are competing for points, instead of five players

  • Skill level limit for the three players equals 14

  • Forfeits are worth 3 points

  • The winner is the first team to reach a match point total which the opposing team cannot overcome

  • If there is a tie, the winner is decided by which team won 2 of the 3 matches
 
 
Modified Race for 9-Ball:
