  If a player can not pitch on Friday and so indicates by circling NO FRIDAY on their entry form will be scheduled to pitch in a mixed handicapped class on Saturday; if not enough entries for the handicapped class on Saturday the entry fee will be refunded.  Classes with a ringer percentage spread greater than 10% will be handicapped.  The handicapped classes will be handicapped at 80%.

  Finishing positions in class will be determined by games won and lost.  All tied positions in all classes except the Championship classes will be determined by "Who beat who" as explained in the FSHPA Inc. BY-LAWS.  A play off will be conducted in all Championship classes in which there is a tie for first place.  All other tied positions in the Championship classes will be determined per the FSHPA Inc. BY-LAWS "Who beat who" in the round robin competition.

  In the event of rain and/or cancellation of play on Friday the Executive Council will reschedule the classes on Saturday with the Championship classes given preference of play.  The rescheduling on Saturday may require reducing the classes to six players and pitching three shifts, starting at 8:00 AM, in order to schedule the maximum number of players.  All players not scheduled or cancel due to rescheduling on Saturday will receive refunded entry fees.  Rescheduling from two days back to one day may require reducing the number of shoes per game in all classes.  All rescheduling is the responsibility of the Executive Council and will be done in the best interest of the tournament and the FSHPA Inc.  If both days are rained out then the Championship classes will be scheduled on Sunday.  All other players may request a refund of their entry fee or will be scheduled on Sunday.  Entry fee refunds must be requested by 5:00 PM on Saturday.  The revised schedule will be posted by 6:00 PM on Saturday.
