Guide to completing and then submitting pool league score sheets.

This league provides score sheets to be completed by each team during a match and then the teams are responsible for submitting their sheet to the league statistician. The statistician records in our website the scores earned by each team and by individual player. Providing legible and accurate sheets promptly is required for the league to operate. We evolve and adjust when needed.

Here are our new requirements and some helpful tips that may make it easier for you and also decrease the need for a phone call from the statistician looking for clarification or concludes the sheet is clearly lacking some information. Quite often clarification is needed when a player’s feat has not been recorded, or was recorded on the reverse side of the score sheet but that side was not submitted. We now negate the need to fill or submit the reverse side by changing how we fill in the front side.

Score sheets are to be submitted by each team by taking a good quality photo of the sheet and then sending an email with the photo attached to the league’s email address which is supplied to team captains separately. We don’t publish the email address to avoid enticing spam.

Please send your score sheets by noon of the day following your match. Most people send their score sheets immediately after their match. Some, if they don’t have data for their phone will send it when they get to where they have access to wi-fi.

Feats are achievements coveted by players and it is up to to the score keeper to accurately record them so the players get the credit they earned.

Please do not circle scores or feats.

Please use pens with dark ink, black or blue.

When a player earns a feat, be it either an Eight ball Run Out aka ERO (E), First Attempt (FA) or 10-Zip (Z), please do not write a 10 on the score sheet. Instead neatly write E, FA or Z. These three feats are already automatically counted as 10 points so there is no need to also write the number in a small box.

When a feat was earned did the losing opponent get a shot? If they did not get a shot they earn a No Shot, a NS.
Note: When a player gets a NS their score could range from 0 to 7 points. Therefor when recording a NS neatly write NS small enough to also write their score 0-7 beneath it in the same box on the sheet.

Recording feats this way on the front negates the need to submit the back side of the score sheet!

Feats Explained!
There are three ways to earn a ERO, two ways to earn a FA and one way to earn a Z.
There are also two ways to get a NS.

To clarify the feats here are scenarios of when they are earned. It is crucial to remember that the break does NOT count as a shot!

The key difference between and ERO and FA is how many numbered balls were on the table on winning player’s first approach: a) 15 balls or b) less than 15.

1. Breaking player sinks at least one ball on the break and runs the table in one turn. Opponent did not get a shot.
- Breaking player earns ERO
- Non-breaking player earns NS and score 0-7

2. Breaking player fails to sink a ball on the break. Non-breaking player on first approach to the table with all 15 numbered balls up runs the table in one turn. Breaking player did not get a shot.
- Non-breaking player earns ERO
- Breaking player earns NS and score 0-7

3. Breaking player fails to sink a ball on the break, opposing player takes first shot and also fails to sink a ball. Then the breaking player comes to table for their first shot with all 15 numbered balls up and runs the table in one turn.
- Breaking player earns ERO

4. Breaking player sinks one or more balls on the break and then loses their turn. Non-breaking player comes to table with one or more numbered balls down and runs the table in one turn.
- Non-breaking player earns FA

5. Breaking player does not sink any balls on the break. Non-breaking player comes to table and sinks at least one ball then loses their turn. Breaking player comes to table with one or more numbered balls down and runs the table in one turn.
- Breaking player earns FA

6 When both players have at least two shots and wins with score of 10:0 they earn a Z for 10-Zip

A clarification for a rarely-encountered situation: If breaking player doesn't sink anything on the break and the non-breaking player then makes a ball and also sinks the 8-Ball the score is 10:1 and the winner does not earn a feat. Quoting Ted Harms, owner of the CCS "The game will always be scored to the maximum benefit of the loser. No one gets a Z without shooting the balls down."
