9-Ball Tournament Results

As our yearly 8-ball tournament was finishing up in April of 2023, our tournament regulars decided that we wanted to play some competitive 9-ball…but not REALLY competitive. So, we started the Monday night Official Unofficial Weekly 9-ball tournament. Here’s the winners list and winner totals, with the “rules” sandwiched inbetween.

“Da Rules”

  • Show up a few minutes before 7pm
  • Partners drawn randomly.
  • Anything from 3-shooter individual single-elimination brackets on up to 6-team double-elimination bracket. It depends on how many people are shooting.
  • If we have 3-4 teams, each match in the bracket will be a 3-game match.
  • More than 4 teams, then each match is a single game.
  • Standard 9-ball rules, EXCEPT for the rail rule (“if no ball is pocketed, either the cue ball or any numbered ball must touch a rail after the cue ball contacts the lowest numbered ball for the shot to be legal.”)
  • Fouls – We try to be gentlemen and gentleladies on fouls, like determining bad hits, missed balls, tapping the cue ball on warm-up strokes, and accidentally contacting other balls with a body part or stick. We just don’t want to get too intense about it.
  • Honest Try – Yes, it is a strategy in APA and money tournaments to play safeties. However, we really want each player’s shot to be an honest try to pocket (or contact) a ball.
  • Winners get their mugshots put up on the Post’s Facebook page and posted on this page.
