PROCEDURE FOR CONDUCTING STATE CHAMPIONSHIP CLASS
The Mixed Doubles and
Doubles competition creates quite a problem for the Executive Council in
determining a
method of conducting the Championship class that is equitable
for all. This year the following method will
be used to schedule the Championship and “A” class that
should be equitable to all and still give the better
teams a bit more competition.
The seven or eight highest
entering average teams will be scheduled as a pitching class. The teams will be
handicapped at 80% if the ringer spread is greater than 20%. The
pitching format will be double alternate pitch.
The 48 shoe games will be
pitched and the final score will count in two ways. First the team winning with
the
highest score will get a win in the Championship class and the
other team will receive a loss in the
Championship class.. Then, the handicap will be added to the scratch score to
give a handicap game score. The
handicap winner will receive one point and the other team will
receive no points in class “A”. If the handicap
score is a tie each team will receive one-half point in the
“A” class. After the handicap score is determined
and there is no tie in the actual score the teams will
move on to their next game. If the actual score is tied
then the teams will continue with a 4 shoe pitch off as
described in the NHPA playing rules to determine the
actual winner, the handicap score will be taken at 48 shoes
and the four extra shoes will not count in the
handicap score.
At the conclusion of
pitching the “A” class champions will be that team with the most handicap games
won. Tied
positions will be determined by the NHPA RGS Book Rule 11 or the
“Head to head” method used by the HSmaster
program. The procedure to be used will be announced at the
tournament.
At the conclusion of
pitching the Championship class will be determined on games won and lost. If
there is a tie
for first place then a play-off game or games will be conducted
in the same manner as described in the singles
competition article. All other positions in the Championship class
will be determined by the NHPA RGS Book Rule
11 or the
“Head to head” method used by the HSmaster program. The method to be used will be announced at the
tournament.
The above described is
really quite simple. Each game pitched counts as an actual score and also as a
handicap
scored game. The “A” class handicap winner will receive first
place money and a trophy. Second, third and
possibly fourth place winner will receive cash prizes. The
State Championship class winner will receive the
State Champions trophy and
$80.00 prize money.
