Match Format:- The matches will be played on a knockout basis, The winning teams will move forward to win the  championship

Break Shot: A legal break requires at least 4 balls to hit cushions or a ball to be pocketed. If the 8-ball is pocketed, it can be re-racked or spotted.

Choosing Stripes or Solids: The first legally pocketed ball after the break decides the player’s group (solids or stripes). If no ball is pocketed, the table remains open.

Legal Shots: The cue ball must hit a ball from the player’s group first, and either a ball must be pocketed or hit a cushion.

Fouls & Ball in Hand: Scratching, failing to hit a legal ball, or not driving any ball to a rail gives the opponent “ball in hand” (they can place the cue ball anywhere).

Winning the Game: After clearing all assigned balls, the player must call and legally pocket the 8-ball in the chosen pocket.

Losing the Game: Players lose instantly if they scratch while pocketing the 8-ball, sink it in the wrong pocket, or pocket it before clearing their group.

Special Rules: Combination shots are allowed if the first ball hit is from the player’s group. Jump shots and masse shots are allowed if done legally
