After competing in a 13 week session at Diamond Eight Billiards, the top 4 Ladies Doubles teams met at Diamond Eight for what ended up being a thrilling 8-Ball and 9-Ball Single Elimination Tournament. Two Division champions were crowned but only one could advance to play in Las Vegas! The team of Audre Hartman and Bernadette Westbrook won the 9-Ball division and had to meet the 8-Ball division winners Sue Marks and Robyn Smith in the finals. The match came down to the wire and Audre and Bernadette held on to win. They will compete in the National Doubles Championship Aug. 19-21 at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas!

A situation that frequently occurs during a divisional playoff match (or any Higher Level Tournament) is that the match can end before either player reaches their assigned point count total.
Example: In the 5th match, Joe (SL5) is put up against Jim (SL6). The
normal race would be 38 to 46; however, Joe’s team is ahead 48-32 after 4 individual matches have been played. Therefore, in order for Joe to win the match for his team, he only needs to pocket 15 points, because, even if he lost the match 17-3, his 3 match points would give his team 51 total match points.

Note: When a Divisional Playoff Match (or any Higher Level Tournament
Match) should end before either player reaches their assigned point count, simply stop the match and write INCOMPLETE MATCH on the
scoresheet. The two teams cannot agree to continue the match just for fun because the scoresheet must show where the match actually stopped.

In case of a tie at the end of a team match (50 to 50 match points) the tie would be broken by the number of individual matches won by each team.
