1.16 SHOT CLOCK PROCEDURES (PLAY-OFFS ONLY)

1. The use of a shot clock is intended to prevent slow play. There is normally no time limit for you to take a shot. However, a 60 second shot clock will be implemented after one (1) hour of play.

2. If a shot clock is used, it always applies to all players at that table. Shot clock procedures follow:

a. During a player’s inning, the 60 second shot clock starts when the previous shot ends and runs until cue tip to cue ball contact begins the next shot. If a player has ball-in-hand, the shot clock starts when the player has possession of the cue ball and any spotting of balls or racking is finished.
b. The player will receive a 30 second and a 15 second warning from the referee. If the player does not strike the cue ball within the 60 second period, it is a foul.
c. Each player is allowed one 60 second extension per rack. If both players are on the hill, each player receives two extensions in the decisive game. To use an extension, the player must verbally announce “extension” to the referee. The referee will then respond with “extension”, or “extension not allowed” if the player has no extension remaining. Timing procedures for extensions are the same as for other shots.
