10. ALL BALL FOUL
a. If you feel like a player will commit a foul, have the shot watched! Otherwise, it will go to the shooter. *We have HD cameras, so do not try to lie to your opponent!*
b. If a player forces us to check the cameras, which will hold up the tournament, and we find out the player in question has either cheated or displayed unnecessary and bad etiquette, that player will lose by forfeit! *Second offense is disqualification!*
11. A 30-second shot clock will be in operation.
12. There will be no audible beeps however the score controller
will alert players when 10 seconds are remaining.
13. Each Player is allowed x1 30-second extension per rack. This
can be called at any time within the initial 30 seconds verbally
by the player.
14. The score controller will then allow the original 30 seconds to
expire, and then restart the clock to allow another 30 seconds.

16. The shot clock will start when the last moving ball comes to a rest.
17. Failure to play a shot in the allocated time will result in ball in hand for the opponent.
