BLIND DRAW! Following each league night, we will hold a blind draw league.
You only need to participate in 2 of 4 weeks to be eligible for the tournament in week 5.
Start time approximately 9:00 p.m.
Rules/Format as follows:
Cost per person $5.00 per week for 5 weeks of games. Must be paid at time of sign up/check in.
Anyone is welcome to play. You do not need to be a pro level player to play! Luck has as much to do with winning in this type of format as skill level.
You must participate in only 2 of the 4 league weeks to be eligible for the tournament week 5.
Straight Race to 21 formats, complete innings must be completed even if a team has reached 21.
4 weeks regular games leading up to 5th week double elimination tournament. You must play in at least 2 of the 4 weeks to be eligible to play in the tournament. Average scores will be used to determine a player's placing in the standings. This will eliminate any unfair advantage in points to a person who was in attendance all 4 weeks prior to the tournament. If you cannot make it one of the weeks, you will be awarded zero points for that week, and your average will not change for that week.
For example: Fred's scores for week 1 are 23, 22, 12, 13, 23, 23 for a total of 116
Fred cannot attend Week 2 so he scores no points.
Fred's Scores for week 3 are 18, 16, 23, 15, 21, 22 for a total of 115
Fred cannot attend Week 4 so he scores no points.
In week 1 and 3, Fred scored a total of 231 points in 12 games for an average of 19.25
Tony's scores for week 1 are 23, 23, 23, 12, 18, 15
Tony's scores for week 2 are 22, 21, 15, 27, 16, 13
Tony's scores for week 3 are 21, 17, 19, 21, 23, 22
Tony's scores for week 4 are 20, 18, 16, 22, 21, 19
In weeks 1 thru 4 Tony scored 467 points in 24 games for an average of 19.458
As you can see, by using averages, there is little advantage given to those players that will be able to attend each week, and we will not be excluding anyone from the chance to place in the tournament. You must have 2 weeks participation in the blind draw to play in the tournament. That is the only stipulation. Otherwise, all players will be invited to play in the tournament for the money on. (date to be determined). We will NOT be using handicaps for this blind draw session. 4 - 6 Rounds will be played each week (based on number of entrants).
Each round, all players will blind draw a new partner.
Players will score points based on their "team" score for each round.
For example, if Fred and Joe score 23 points as a team, they both receive 23 points.
Averages of these scores will be tabulated and after 4 weeks, we will have a double elimination
tournament to determine our blind draw winners.
Players will be divided up into an upper 1/2 of the bracket and
a lower 1/2 of the bracket and two separate brackets will be played in the tournament.
If we have 20 players in the tournament,
The pairings would be as follows:
Player 1 and Player 10
Player 2 and Player 9
Player 3 and Player 8
Player 4 and Player 7
Player 5 and Player 6
The players above will play in a 5 team double elimination tournament.
Player 11 and Player 20
Player 12 and Player 19
Player 13 and Player 18
Player 14 and Player 17
Player 15 and Player 16
The players above will also play in their own 5 team double elimination tournament.
Prizes will be $20 to the top point’s earner and $10 to the second place point’s earner each week. (Based on at least 10 players each week) The remainder of the entry fees each week will be put into the prize pot for the tournaments at the end of the session. Weekly cash winners may only claim cash prize two of the four weeks. After that, we will take the next highest names on the list so we can spread the wealth a little bit.
