Every week you have a chance to draw a lucky winning ticket and attempt to break an 8 ball rack to win money. No opponent, one try for the cash. Shoot until you miss.
You must play in the Saturday Tournament to be eligible to participate. Players may purchase up to 10 breakpot tickets for $2 each, per week.
At 4pm the Tournament Director will pull up to three tickets. You must be present if your ticket is drawn, otherwise it is forfeited. Ticket names will shoot sequentially.
When your ticket is called you may rack your own. However, the rack is inspected by the Tournament Director prior to breaking. No loose or shabby racks, let's play honest.
If you scratch or miscue, your attempt is over.
If you sink the 8 ball on the break - you win the entire pot and all remaining tickets are destroyed.
If you break and make a ball you continue and may choose stripes or solids (open). If you complete the break and run - you win half the remaining pot and all remaining tickets are kept for next draws.
We draw tickets until someone wins the entire pot, or three players have shot.
If no player wins the entire pot the cash pot carries over to next week and the tickets are destroyed.
Each week is a fresh chance. And yes, it is still an 8 ball break pot even if we are playing 9 ball for the tournament.
