    IPO League Rules

    Players must lag for break. (Lag goes into player stats)
    Players must rack their own balls (or both players can get a non-player to rack for
    them)
    An IPO Inning is to be marked when the first player shoots (not a�er the second
    Player ends their turn). There can not be a "0" inning game. For example If the
    first player shoots and has a "break and run" that is an inning and should be
    marked before that Player even starts shoo�ng. (EACH GAME [not match] MUST
    HAVE AT LEAST ONE INNING WITHER THE SECOND PLAYER SHOOTS OR NOT). If the
    first Player shoots and has a break and run thats 1 inning, that player then has the
    break on the next game. That would be the next Inning and the first inning of the
    second game
    Players have the op�on of using a standard rack or a rack templet. It is the Player
    that is breaking that makes the choice.
    If the Player that breaks (in 8 ball), makes a ball on the break the table is s�ll open,
    and that Player can choose which balls they want to shoot. Once a Player sinks a
    ball they are commited to that set of balls for that game.
    On a 9 ball break a ball is made that Player has the op�on to push.
    Lower Skill level Players 399 and below have a double rule. They must call their
    intended pocket for the shot they are taking however if the ball goes in any other
    pocket they are allowed to con�nue shoo�ng un�l they miss.
    Higher Skill level Players 400 and up must call the pocket and the ball must go in
    the called pocket. ( Player is required to call their pocket but not the shot.
    Example: If the Player calls a pocket and the object ball goes in that pocket but
    uninten�onally hits another ball but does go in the called pocket the shot counts
    and the Player con�nues to shoot un�l they miss.)
    At this point standard ball in hand rules apply to match play.
    IF A RULES QUESTION COMES UP DURING A GAME THE PLAYERS MUST AGREE
    AMONG THEMSELVES ON HOW TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE GAME BASED ON
    THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF POOL. AFTER THE MATCH IS COMPLETE A PLAYER CAN
    EMAIL FOR RULES CLARIFICATION TO [email protected] FOR OFFICAL IPO
    RULES CLARIFICATION. ALLOW UP TO 48 HOURS FOR AN IPO TEAM MEMBER TO
    RESPOND.
    For a match to count toward Player stats both Players must agree to and submit to
    update score at the botom of the scoresheet. (THERE WILL BE NO REFUND ONCE
    A MATCH HAS BEGUN).
    Poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated from any Player. If a player is reported to
    have bad sportsmanship by 3 or more players an inves�ga�on will be made, and
    that player could be disqualified from compe�ng for cash payouts for that session.
    If it happens 2 sessions in a row that player will not be allowed to compete for
    cash payouts for one full year.
    Players are required to be considerate of other players. (Treat others as you would
    like to be treated).
    On a 9 ball break the 1 ball must be at the top of the rack and must be the first
    ball hit on the break.
    4 balls must hit a rail on each break or that player must rerack and break again. If
    a Player does not reach a rail with 4 balls on 2 consecu�ve tries the break is
    passed to their opponent.
    The Player with the most points at the end of a session will be awarded a cash
    payout that will be determined by IPO League management.
    All decisions made by IPO League will be final.

    WARRNING!!! DO NOT PLAY WITH SOMEONE YOU DO NOT KNOW AT A


    LOCATION THAT YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH UNDER ANY
    CIRCUMSTANCE. BE AWARE AND BE SAFE WHEN CHOOSING WHERE
    AND WHO YOU PLAY. IPO LEAGUE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PLAYERS’
    SAFETY AND MAKES NO SUCH CLAIM OR VOUCHES FOR ANY OF THE
    PLAYERS THAT PLAY. YOUR SAFTY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
