DUCKS TOURNEY
 |
|
POINT
VALUES AND PENALTIES:
Each duck pocketed is worth 6 points.
Each shot taken is minus 1 point.
Disturbing triangle before all ducks are pocketed is minus 2 points
(this is a one time penalty, not for each occurrence).
Triangle balls have no value.
A scratch is minus 5 points. |
|
"DUCKS"
(THE ORIGINAL VERSION SETUP)
The "ducks are the balls placed adjacent to each pocket!!
|
|
|
THE
OBJECT:
To pocket the "ducks" in the fewest number of shots without disturbing
the triangle balls. Once "ducks" are in continue by pocketing the rest
of the balls. Remember, fewest number of shots and penalties accumulates the
highest score.
THE PLAY:
The first shot must be taken from the spot. Go ahead, shoot the
"ducks". Take care not to disturb the triangle. "Ducks" must
all be shot in before any of the triangle balls. The cue may be tapped to gain
better position when blocked by the triangle but this cost you 1 point for a
shot taken, plus - 5 points for the scratch. Early pocketed triangle balls are
placed back on the table (anywhere). Ball in hand may only be used after a
scratch. Combo using any ball may be used to sink a "duck".
After all ducks are pocketed continue by pocketing the rest of the balls. Game
is done when only cue ball remains on table.
CALCULATING YOUR SCORE
(sample): 6 "ducks" pocketed in 6 shots: 6 points per duck x 6 = 36
minus 6 shots taken = 30. Remaining balls pocketed in 10 shots. 30 - 10 = 20. No
penalties 20 - 0 = 20 net score.
(sample2): 6 "ducks" pocketed in 8 shots. 6pts. per duck x 6 = 36
minus 8 shots taken = 28. Remaining balls pocketed in 8 shots 28 - 8 = 20.
Triangle was disturbed. 20 minus 2 pt. penalty = 18. Two scratches occurred 18
minus 10 pt. penalty (2x5=10) = 8 net score.
HOW TO RATE YOURSELF:
This game may seem easy but:
10 to 15 is a GOOD SCORE.
15 to 20 is VERY GOOD.
Over 20 is EXCELLENT (YOU'RE READY TO PLAY "DUCKS" FOR BUX) !!!

TOURNEY OF TOURNEYS
Tournament of Tournaments can be run in a variety of ways. Here are a few
recommendations...
Set up a variety of tournaments (4 tourneys recommended) using the documented
tourney types on the main page.
Determine who will qualify for the Touiuey of Tournaments. Will it be the
top two in each tourney or just the winner?
Decide who may enter each tourney. Will all tourneys be open to all or can
a person only enter a set amount of qualifying tourneys?
Create a Head Quarters (HQ) table were all results can be reported, since this
is such a large tourney. This will cut down on the traffic in the
lobby.
Announce the Jumps for all of the qualifying tourneys as well as the rules to
qualify for the Tourney of Champions. In the announcement make sure you
list the HQ table.
The Tourney of Champions can also use any rule scheme that the TD wants to use,
but would be best to stick to a standard game.
Ex.
#1 Rainbow Rules, Bottoms Up, Timed, and Rock Around The Clock
Ex. #2 Last Pocket, Bank The 8, 7up, Rainbow
*** SPECIAL NOTES ***
* All tournaments, jumps, head quarters, will be announced in the main lobby.
* IMPORTANT -- REPORT ALL LOSSES AT HEADQUARTERS, NOT IN THE MAIN LOBBY.
* Finals qualifiers will be notified of the Finals Jump at HQ.
