  Tournament Rules                                                                                     TOP

  All players will adhere to the basic tournament rules: V.P.H.Q Tournament Rules 

  1st Round Deadline:- Saturday 12th February.
  2nd Round Deadline:- Saturday 19th February.
  3rd Round Deadline:- Saturday 26th February.

  The Lowest ranked player has the choice as to who breaks first, then breaks
  to follow will be alternate.
  The easy way to remember is that you are either breaking on odd or
  even frames. If you want to pass the break over you press Ctrl + T.

  Snooker must be played in an honest and fair way. To do this you must
  adhere to the spirit of the game and play in a manner that earns you
  the respect of others.
  For example:- in a snooker, you must be seen to make a valid attempt
  to escape a snooker and not play a negative roll out shot, making no
  attempt whatsoever to escape and seek to gain an advantage.
  All genuine snooker players know what I mean by saying this.

  There is also a break off shot rule:- You must not play a roll up shot off the
  back cushion into the reds from the break off. You must break off by hitting the
  reds on the way up the table.

  There are no jump shots in snooker. You will not play jump shots at any time
  in snooker in order to hit the ball on.
  If you do hit the ball on first, then the cue-ball jumps over another ball, it shall
  be deemed a legal shot as long as the cue-ball finishes on the bed of the table.

  Mouse farts are at the discretion of the player as to whether you give the shot
  back to your opponent, you make the choice. Again use Ctrl + T.

  In game conduct will be monitored. If you have a complaint about an opponent
  and their behaviour in game, I would ask you to take a screenshot and mail it to
  me. (Again at 9ball@vphqtournaments.com)

  Tournament Etiquette                                                                              TOP

  We expect everyone to make every effort to play their match on-time,
  professionally and fair, being courteous to your opponent at all times. If you
  think you are being harassed in any way, please take a screenshot. Press
  'Print Screen' and paste into 'Paint', then save as a .jpg and send it to me.

  There will be 16 seeds this year, based on last years performance and
  the current V.P.H.Q tournament ratings.
