RULE-IN-REVIEW
1.9 SLOW PLAY- If in the opinion of the opposing captain, a player is impeding the progress of the tournament or
game with consistently slow play, the opposing captain can warn the player and then at his discretion impose a
maximum 1-minute time limit that applies to both players between shots (both player’s are put on a shot clock).
Slow Play shall be defined as a player exceeding more than an average of 2 minutes per shot in a given inning.
Discretion should be used in enforcing this rule; a single shot that takes more than 2 minutes in an otherwise
well-paced inning should not be considered cause enough for a warning or to request the 1-minute shot clock.
If the 1-minute time limit is imposed and the time limit is exceeded by a player, a foul will be called and the
incoming player is rewarded according to the rules applicable to the game.
During a player’s inning, the shot clock starts when the previous shot ends and runs until tip-to-ball contact begins
the next shot. The time while a shot is in progress is not counted. If a player begins with cue ball in hand, the shot
clock starts when he has possession of the cue ball. A warning with the announcement of “Time” should be made 10
seconds prior to the time limit being reached. If a player exceeds the time limit specified for the match, a foul will be
called and the incoming player is rewarded according to the rules applicable to the game. If the shot clock is started
late on a shot due to neglect or oversight of the timekeeper, the player receives the benefit of the late start.
