1.8 NO PRACTICE ALLOWED DURING MATCH (PLAY-OFFS ONLY)

1. It is a foul if you practice at any time during your match, including timeouts and periods of suspended play. "Practice" is defined as any stroke or shot that is not a part of your match, taken on any table at the event venue. In team play, this rule applies to all members of the team roster, whether or not they are playing at the time and whether or not they are listed on the score sheet of the match in progress.

2. Singles and Hi-Lo Penalties - the first violation is a foul, and an unsportsmanlike conduct warning must be issued; a second violation results in loss of game; a third violation results in loss of match.

3. Team Penalties – all penalties are team penalties; second and third penalties may be incurred by any member of the team.

a. For practice violations by players who are actually playing in a game at that time: it is a foul, and an unsportsmanlike conduct warning must be issued to the team; a second violation results in loss of game for the player that commits the second violation; a third violation results in loss of match for the team.
b. For practice violations by players who are not actually playing in a game at that time: it is a foul during the current game, and an unsportsmanlike conduct warning must be issued to the team; a second violation results in loss of the current game. A third violation results in loss of match for the team.
