For the remaining tournaments (10-ball, Fast-8, and Scotch Doubles) your players do NOT have to have played at a 2021 NAPA Tour Stop. All they need to have is 10 matches played in their local venues in the last 550 days leading up to the event start date and they are eligible to play. The exact NRP date is listed on the event details page for each of the Super Shooters events.
If you navigate to the main NAPA website (www.napashooters.com) and click on Super Shooters, SIMPLY CLICK on the "details" link next to the event you are interested in attending and all of the eligibility details are explained right there.
All tournaments will be our standard Quad-Class Bracket format that we have been doing for the last 4 years, with winners of each class bracket advancing to the final-4 for the championship. The Quad-Class are: Class GM/M, Class A, Class B, Class C/D/E. The only exception would be if a tournament has less than 30 participants then NAPA HQ reserves the right to change it to a Dual-Class Bracket Format and in those cases the skill levels of the player pool will be split right down the middle with the top skill leveled players being in Group A and the bottom skill level players being in Group B. The final two participants in each group will meet in the final-4.
Scotch Doubles is the only tournament that will not be using the Quad-Class Bracket format. The Scotch Doubles tournaments will be a simple double elimination tournament format.
