Every team is required to keep score for the duration of any given match. At the conclusion of the match, team captain's will meet to ensure that their totals for each game are in agreement. Once all totals on both scoresheets are the same, the captain's sign both scoresheets and submit them to the league administrator. Failure to reconcile totals, sign scoresheets, and/or submit paperwork on time may result in penalty points for that team. Scoresheets for every match may be printed off of the Schedule page. These scoresheets will be partially filled out with team names and dates. Blank scoresheets may printed from any page in the site; the link is part of the main menu. It is suggested that players print out a few extra blank scoresheets to place in a glovebox or cue case. Terminology: Match - A meeting of two teams on a periodic (week) basis Game - Two players competing by playing a series of racks Rack - An individual game of 8-ball between two players
The names of the players chosen for a game are written in, along with their handicap skill level in the appropriate fields. For leagues that use Adjusted Skill levels to expedite gameplay, adjusted skill levels may be indicated in the Adj Skill column. For leagues that allow players to decline ball spots, check boxes appear below the player names. Place a check in the box if a player declines their ball spot. Each time a player steps to the table for a turn, the scorekeeper marks the inning with a hashmark. See "Rack 3" in the figure to the right.  Rack Totals: When the rack is complete, a "W" or "L" is recorded in the W/L column, the innings are totalled and circled, and the number of loser's balls remaining on the table ("ball count") is indicated in the BC column. The winner is always given a ball count of zero.(including the cases when an 8 ball is pocketed on the break, the player scratches on the 8-ball, or sinks the 8-ball out of turn) See "Rack 1" and "Rack 2" in the figure above. NOTE: No indication of "8 out of turn" or "scratch on 8" is required. Game Totals: At the end of each game, the totals are entered for that game. The number of racks won & lost, as well as the ball counts for each player are totalled. Also, the total number of innings played are calculated for the racks won and lost by each player. 
At the conclusion of the match, team captain's will meet to ensure that their totals for each game are in agreement. Game and match totals on both sheets must match or the teams may be deducted points. 
When a team cannot put up a player for a match, that team must forfeit the match. In the case of a forfeited game, print the phrase "FORFEIT - WIN" for the team winning the forfeit, and "FORFEIT - LOSS" for the forfeiting team. If neither team can put up a player, print "FORFEIT - LOSS" for both teams.  | ||||||||||
