DOUBLES
THURSDAY 8:30 AM APRIL 24, 2014
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 10% 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 is
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, 2014 unless tournament is cancelled.
