DOUBLES
THURSDAY 8:30 AM APRIL 18, 2013
Look to the
doubles entry form for entering qualifications and fees.
Teams will
be placed into classes according to their teams combined entering ringer
percentages. The pitching format will be cancellation scoring and 48 shoe
games. Classes with a ringer percentage spread greater than 20% will be
handicapped at 80%. No championship classes will be handicapped. The team
member with the highest ringer percentage will pitch against each other and so
will the lowest ringer percentage members from each team. The first player
listed on the team will flip a shoe to determine which team starts the game.
All games will start with the first player listed on each team throwing the
first shoes of each game. The scoring team, as in regular cancellation scoring,
will pitch first from the opposite end. The lowest ringer percentage players
from each team will throw down and then back and then the highest percentage
players will throw down and back and the game shall continue in this manner
through 48 shoes. This format means that on alternate pitches a team member
will determine first pitch for his partner and then first pitch for themselves.
If the class is handicapped then the double alternate pitching format will be
used. The team winning the shoe toss will pitch down and back and then the second
team will pitch down and back continuing in this way until 48 shoes have been
pitched.
In the event of a tied game the teams will pitch four
additional shoes, two innings, each team member throwing two shoes. In the
event of a tied game after the two extra innings the game will continue with
four more shoes, two shoes by the lowest percentage pitchers followed by two
shoes from the highest percentage pitchers, etc, etc, until a winner has been
determined. Tied games in handicapped classes will remain as a tie and will not
be pitched off.
Their win/loss record will determine class winners.
Class winners and positions in class will be determined as per the NHPA RGS
Rule 11.
The Doubles Championship will be determined in the
same way as the Mixed Doubles Championship (See Mixed Doubles Form and Info).
In the event of rain the doubles will be cancelled. No
entry refunds after April 1, 2013 unless tournament is cancelled.
