Hi-Lo Memorial this Sunday

We are excited to contest the traditional Hi-Lo Memorial scotch doubles tournament this Sunday at Family Billiards.

This fun format creates doubles teams with the highest win percentage and the lowest win percentages on the season, the 2nd highest and 2nd lowest, and so on.

The Calcutta auction will help raise money for stipends to send SF players and referees to the West Coast Challenge in Burbank in August – not to mention give all competitors a chance to win some money!

Please click through to the event page for more information. Warmup begins at 11:30 am and signups close at noon.

Spring 2023 playoffs

Playoff time is here!

Brackets

Format & eligibility

  • Players with 25% participation are eligible to participate (14 or more games).
  • Unlike typical league nights, playoff matches will be played as a race to 9. Once a team reaches 9 wins, the match is over.
  • Also unlike typical league nights, only one time out is allowed per game, only the player at the table can call a time out, and the player at the table must designate a single teammate to participate in the time out.
  • If a match is tied 8-8 after 16 games, each captain chooses a player to compete in the tiebreaking game. Players in the 17th game lag for the break.
  • If the shot clock is in effect, players get one 60-second extension per game.

We ask captains to report scores promptly and accurately so we can schedule upcoming matches the next morning.

City Championship

The top 16 teams have qualified to compete for the City Championship. This is a double-elimination tournament with some losers bracket matches taking place on Thursday nights – please make sure to look closely at the schedule. The winning team will earn a trip to Los Angeles for West Coast Challenge 82.

All other teams will play for the Founders Cup. This is a single-elimination tournament with a 3rd place consolation match.
