CSI Rulebook

All racks and matches must be played. The challenger doesn’t end in playoffs (only regular session play). It’s important to show up with your best game each week as the challenger ends cleanly on the final week. This deters sandbagging.

PLAYING “OUT-OF-ORDER”

For the first segment of racks, the doubles program, please keep to the order on the scorecard and scoring app. For the second segment, the singles portion, these can be played “out-of-order.” One reason for doing this would be to get someone’s racks done sooner (e.g. if one of your players works early in the morning). Another reason would be if the player has another obligation in the room (e.g. plays in another division, works at the venue, or is commentating on a streamed match). Of course, we want players focused on matches. However, there are times when flexibility is good. Please don’t abuse this or disrespect your opponents with it. Use good judgment and communicate fully, as per usual.

FORFEITS

If you’ll miss a night of regularly-scheduled league play, then it’s your responsibility to find a sub or ask your division manager to provide one. We have open substitution as long as you remain within your Fargo cp (1500 or 1650). If you’ll forfeit a match, then communicate directly with your opposing captain by text and/or notify the division manager. Negligence with timely communication and/or no-shows may result in sportsmanship penalties against your team.

MATCH FEES

At the end of each match, please submit your team’s envelope with your paper scorecard and $45 match fees (3 players x $15 each) to your division manager or stand-in Don’t pay match fees to the venue.

POST-MATCH PLAY

Tables are turned in upon match completion, but you can rent any table from the venue if you’d like to keep playing.

All rack scores are entered into LMS/Fargo from the BCAPL mobile scoring app or the paper scorecard. Scores and standings generally update overnight.

STIPENDS
