FORFEITS At no time may a team take 5 forfeits in one night of league play!! Every attempt to reschedule the match in the following 2 weeks must be made. With a mutually agreed on make up date set up. If there is no resolution then a 3/2 bye will be awarded to the match and no league fees are due. Any further matches by the forfeiting team (if they drop out) will also be 3/2 byes. Unless the division has a bye already in the schedule then the teams with byes will play each other for the remainder of the session!
GHOST RULE You joined this league to play pool and have fun! TAP LLC. Allows league operators to permit the 2 play option. In order to avoid forfeits Route 19 TAP believes this option helps build a stronger league by allowing players to play twice in one night of league play. HOW does this work? If you as a captain show up with a minimum of 5 players and your opponent has four or less players. You have the right to take the forfiets. Or if you choose to allow the Ghost Rule the opposing players must remain at the location untill until you choose which one of them may play the second time. You may not allow one of your players to play twice unless bot teams have 4 or less players.Then the opposing captain chooses which of your players may play twice.
THE 25 HANDICAP RULE All teams must play by this rule see the TAP LLC. Rule book however if you do not call the rule violation by the end of the last match then the match stands! A team may be permitted to go over the 25 rule if both captains agree and the division rep. or league operator is notified prior to the end of the matc
h.
Higher Level Tournament Qualifications: You must have fulfilled all requirements in the TAP National handbook and be active on a team roster through all sessions up to and including the session the tournament is played.
