DOUBLES THURSDAY 8:30 AM APRIL 19, 2012
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 20% 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 FSHPA Inc. BY-LAWS.
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, 2012 unless
tournament is cancelled.
