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 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, 2015 unless tournament is cancelled.
