Pool Rules

Last Updated August 29, 2024

Date/Site Changes

If a match is postponed then all bets will stand providing the match is rescheduled to take place before the end of the Tournament. For any match played outside of a tournament format, all bets are cancelled if the match is not played on the scheduled date.

Minimum Length of Play

In the event of a match starting but not being completed for any reason, any wagers on individual markets that have already been unconditionally determined will stand.

Pool Wagers

For betting purposes only “legally” potted balls count. This means that whenever there is a “foul ball” involved, the potted balls do not count. Bets will be settled accordingly.

Match Winner

In the event of a match starting but not being completed, the player progressing to the next round, or declared the winner by the governing body, will be deemed the winner.

Match Correct Score

The bet refers to the correct final score in racks.

Rack Winner

This bet refers to the winner of a specific rack. The respective rack must be completed for bets to stand.

Golden Break

This bet refers to whether or not the 9-Ball is potted legally off of the initial break of the rack only. Should the 9-Ball be potted illegally from the break then this will not stand.

Length of rack/match

Bets will be settled on the time elapsed from the starting break to the end of the rack or match, whether through normal play or concession.

In the event of a re-rack in any frame the following rules apply:

Rack winner: All bets stand and will be settled on the official winner of the frame.

Completed bets: All bets that are already determined before the re-rack stand. Repeated occurrences after the re-rack will be irrelevant for betting purposes.

Uncompleted bets: Bets that are not determined before the re-rack will be settled on actions occurring after the re-rack only. Any occurrences before the re-rack will be irrelevant for betting purposes.

All bets referring to the result of the rack (e.g. totals, odd/even betting) will be settled on the official result of the rack.

Tournament Winner

If a player fails to start a tournament or match, all bets on that player or individual match will be cancelled.

Top Player

This bet relates to the Player who accumulates the most Tournament points for their team throughout the entirety of the Tournament. If a player takes no part in the Tournament, then all bets on that player will be cancelled. Dead-Heat rules apply should two or more Players end up with the most Total Points.

Total Balls (Over/Under)

If the match is abandoned before its completion then all bets will be cancelled, unless the highest possible total to bet on has been attained in which case all bets stand. The “Cue” ball does not count for betting purposes. For betting purposes, only “legally” potted balls count. This means that whenever there is a “foul ball” involved, the potted balls do not count. Bets will be settled accordingly.

Tournament Correct Score

The bet refers to the correct final score in points between the two participants/teams.
