Comment: This part is supposed to complement part 508 Tournament Procedures, particularly for Circle Contest. Once gamers are seeded, some gamers may be given a "bye" depending on the variety of gamers, pools, and rounds (see Figure 11 - Circle Contest "Road Map"). 2. Parallel Circles: If there are extra rivals than time, multiple circles could also be run in parallel throughout the qualification and/or quarterfinal rounds -- nevertheless, observe that this requires multiple units of judges and referees, which may be equally difficult. When the CB hits a cushion and an OB frozen or close to the cushion at nearly the same time, it can be troublesome to determine if there is a foul or not (primarily based on whether or not the CB is driven to a cushion after contact). 8. Each Sunday of the Tour occasion weekend, there might be a $10 entry charge, second likelihood 9-ball tournament, beginning at 12:00 p.m.

1. Player Position and Order: Initially of the primary part for a given circle, the referee shall make sure that all the gamers are current, and that they are in the proper order (from lowest to highest seed in a clockwise fashion around the circle), honoring the beginning place desire of the very best-seeded player for the primary part. 4. Starting Hand Toss: In the beginning of each part, the referee shall guarantee that each one gamers are prepared, and then shall toss the footbag to the bottom-seeded participant to begin that part. 3. Selection of Footbag: Before the beginning of the primary part, the referee shall ask all the gamers within the circle if they agree on the footbag to be used. If there remains to be a tie, when conditions permit, the tournament director may request the tied gamers play an extra phase, the place they compete head-to-head to resolve the tie. If an extra phase is feasible, each player is given three turns inside this section, which combines both judging criteria (variety and density) into a single phase. 6. Pass-Backs: The referee should decide whether or not or not a participant must be given a cross-back (i.e., making the call as to whether or not two non-primary strikes have been accomplished efficiently) and should announce "cross-back", if the participant didn't complete two non-primary strikes.

To do that, they by no means need to take their eyes off the participant(s) and may just relay the add-values of the moves as they see them carried out. Most aggressive freestyle disciplines have need for measuring the add-count of a run, both to determine a rating (as in shred and system-base judging for routines) or to inform judges (as in Olympic-fashion judging for routines). In this case, at the end of the run, the judges should resolve the winner by a easy majority. E. Tie Breaking: If two players in a circle have the same rating at the end of the round, the tie ought to be resolved in line with 508.04 Resolving Ties. However, for many functions, Figure 11 - Circle Contest "Road Map" lists the variety of rounds and the "cuts" for every round, based mostly on the variety of players. It is strongly inspired to have two phases for the semi-finals and remaining rounds. B. Requirements: Players who've been assigned to judging duties however who fail to point out up for a judging task will likely be scratched from the current or future rounds on account of this failure. Where possible, the referee should announce the final turn so that all gamers are conscious this is their last flip of the present phase.

When two phases are offered, the primary part is variety, and the second part is density. Correct seeding is significant not just for the first spherical, but for every subsequent spherical. On the whole, the top four of every preliminary pool advance to a qualifying round, and the highest 2 of each qualifying pool advance to the ultimate round. C. 15-21 gamers: Three swimming pools, prime 2 of each pool advance to finals, or prime four of each pool advance to qualifying spherical of 12 gamers. Ties virtually never happen in single- or double-elimination brackets, so this part only applies to pool format competitions. The tournament director is accountable for making certain that the preliminary seeding is finished correctly, based on previous competitions and other related info. The tournament director should guarantee each round of seeding is done properly. After every spherical is completed, the tournament director should re-seed all of the players primarily based on the results of the previous round. Players who fail to indicate for a judging task in the ultimate spherical might be penalized on the tournament director's discretion. 9. Stalemate Games. If the tournament director determines that the table is able such that any attempt to pocket or transfer a ball will end in lack of sport on that shot, or that the sport isn't progressing as a result of the position of the table has not considerably modified by means of three consecutive innings by every player, the tournament director will declare a stalemate and the game will probably be replayed with the player who broke that game, breaking again.
