Woody's Lounge Presents the "Woody's Open" Nine Ball Tournament

This tournament will be held on Sunday, September 6th. We are certain this will be a great event for the players and spectators.

Event details:

The Tournament will be contested on four 6.5' Valley tables with Granito Basalt Tournament Blue Cloth with Penguin Rails. Aramith Super Pro Balls with the Aramith Pro Cup "Measles" Cue Ball will be used for all matches in this Race to 9 on the 'Undefeated Side' and a race to 7 on the 'One Loss Side' Double Elimination event. It will be conducted under the "Alternate Break Rule". The first break of each match will be determined by "The Lag". Our "Final Match" will be a "TV" style finish of two sets, each a race to 5. If the players split the sets there will be a "Sudden Death" game to decide the winner. The player that breaks will be determined by "The Lag". The "Final Match" will be played on the same tables with Aramith Super Pro Balls with the Pro Cup "Measles" Cue Ball. Masters "Tournament Blue" will be the only chalk allowed. Aramith Ball Cleaner will be used in between matches as needed. One Rule has changed for this "Event", making the 9 Ball on the break will NOT count as a win. The ball will be spotted and the breaking player will continue to shoot, provided a foul was not committed on the break. In the case a foul was committed on the break the incoming player will have ball in hand. All matches will be played to their conclusion.

Entry Fee:

$100.00 per player. Plus a $10.00 "Green Fee"
