The outcome of every single game played by every player is used to update player ratings that in turn are used to generate fair handicaps for the Sunday night 8-ball tournament. Truly every player has a chance to do well and even win this tournament.
Fargo Billiards wants to encourage new players. While generally a player in a tournament is responsible for knowing the rules to the game, we allow a player in our weekly tournament who is unsure of a rule to consult the tournament director with a rule question before any shot.
Finally, the single most important standard of etiquette for match play is the non shooting player is expected to sit quietly in a chair while his or her opponent is at the table.
