ELIGIBILITY |
|
Selection of Team Players shall be in accordance with
the ISA Constitution and in particular Article IX New
Members. |
|
OFFICIALS |
|
1. A Tournament Director (TD) shall be appointed by the
President of The International Shuffleboard Association.
The TD will have the authority and responsibility to
appoint officials as required to meet the requirements
of the Playing Rules to follow. |
|
PLAYING RULES |
|
1. No charting is permitted during International
Shuffling. Specifically, no player may refer to
drawings or any similar device designed to assist in
executing the shot after the game has started. |
|
2. The game shall be “NON WALKING SINGLES" with two
opposing players at each end of the court. |
|
3. A game shall consist of 16 frames, 8 on each colour.
Players change colour at the end of 8 frames. |
|
4. At the beginning of each game, two (2) discs may be
shot by each player to check speed. Four (4) setup disks are allowed for each player. The
shooter may ask the team member at the other end to
place his/her cue in the desired location for the first
shot and thereafter, the team member may position the
shooter’s discs as targets. |
|
5. After changing colour at the end of eight (8) frames,
four (4) setup discs may be shot by each player on their
new colour. The shooter may ask the team member at the
other end to place his/her cue in the desired location
for the first shot and thereafter, the team member may
position the shooter’s discs as targets. |
|
6. WHERE THERE IS DOUBT AS TO WHETHER OR NOT A DISC IS
COUNTING: FIRST CALL shall be made by the team member
playing black. The team member playing yellow may then
get up and look at the disc in question. If the team
member playing yellow disagrees with the original call
the Tournament Director or the person designated by the
Tournament Director shall be asked to make the third and
final call. NOTE: As the ISA event is a Team
Competition, there is neither need nor right for the
Shooter to examine the disc. |
|
COURT ASSIGNMENTS |
|
All court and colour assignments are the
responsibility of the TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR. |
|
SUBSTITUTION |
|
1. National teams, consisting of more than 8 but less
than 12 players, thus requiring the Captains to
substitute in their non-playing members for a particular
game to fill the scheduled 12 positions will perform
this revised schedule in advance and present their
official substitutions to the Tournament Director, who
in turn, will make it available to all National
Presidents/Team Captains before the 1st scheduled game
of the tournament. Every effort must be made to prevent
these substituted players from playing an opponent more
than once during this tournament, however
when unavoidable, it may be authorized by the TD. |
|
2. If any player scheduled to play in GAME 1 is not
present and ready to play at his/her assigned court when
the tournament Director calls for play to commence, an
alternative player from that nation may be assigned to
play on that team by their National President. If the
National President is not available, the assignment may
be made by the Team Captain and the player so assigned
becomes the regular player for the duration of the
Tournament. The Tournament Director shall be so
notified. |
|
3. If a team member becomes sick or incapacitated and
unable to play any game scheduled for that player, the
Team Captain may substitute another player from the same
team who is not scheduled to play in the game who has
not played that same opponent and who is not scheduled
to play that opponent later. The TD must be consulted
each time this Rule is invoked. The incapacitated
player may return as a player for future games if able. |
|
4. Substitutions are not permitted for any reason after a
game has begun. If a player becomes unable to finish a
game, he/she forfeits that game. |
|
DRESSING OF COURTS |
|
The courts shall be dressed and beaded by the Host using
their "CUSTOMARY METHOD." If they customarily use the
"SPRINKLING" method to apply dressing to the court
during the course of the game, they may use that method.
|
|
PENALTIES |
|
1. As the INTERNATIONAL SHUFFLEBOARD TOURNAMENT is to
foster International Fellowship and good will, there
will be no penalties assessed. |
|
2. Notwithstanding 1. (above), we expect the Team
Captains are to ensure that the appropriate level of
decorum is maintained at all times. Team Captains must
bring any rule infractions to the attention of their
player(s). The TD may intercede as indicated. |
|
HAVE A GOOD TOURNAMENT! |
