RULES
The standard WPA Rules & Regulations will be in use with the following exceptions and additions:
The 10-ball does not have to be the last ball pocketed. If the 10-ball is pocketed early as part of a legal and called shot, it is a game win.
The 10-ball pocketed on the break, without being called and in any pocket, is a game win.
If a player pockets the 10-Ball, and it is the last remaining ball in play, and the player commits a foul in the process, it is loss of game.

HANDICAP SYSTEM
The following handicap system will be used during all matches

Fargo Rate | HCP
>700 | 0 (*2)
625 - 700 | 1 (*2)
548 - 624 | 2
471 - 547 | 3
< 471 | 4
The hcp relates to the starting point in a race to 6.

To keep the races close to the original Pro Series, the following adjustments apply:

(*2) If 2 players with HCP 0 meet, the starting point will be 2.
(*2) If 2 players with HCP 1 meet, the starting point will be 2.
If a hcp 0 meets a hcp 1, the starting point will be 1 and 2.
