Watching the matches we noticed even with the handicap we used there was still improvements to be made. We spoke with some of the players from that event and here is the change.
We are splitting the field creating 2 divisions. Please encourage all of your friends to come out and participate.
Division 1: is for the higher level player and will play 9-Ball. This will have players ratting B+ to AAA/Pro. Modified races are still in effect with the number of tables and time restraints.
Division 2: The rest of the field will play in Division 2. We are adding 2 more levels C+ and D are added for novice and beginners. Division 2 will be playing 8-Ball. Modified races are still effect with the number of tables and time restraints.
Female Bonus: To encourage female players to participate we are implementing the following. If four females play in the same division or tournament the highest finishing female that doesn’t make it into the money will receive a free entry in the next event. If the player winning the free entry doesn't show for the following tournament the free entry will be forfeited.
1 Foul Ball in Hand
3 Foul Rule
Alternate Break
9-Ball doesn't count in the bottom 2 pockets
8-Ball doesn't count on the break

Rack your own
The values below will be adjusted to the lower player needing 5 games. The difference in games needed to win will stay intact.
Ex. AAA vs A Would result in a 8-5 race.
Leveling System:
Pro "Open" AAA- 12
AA - 10
