9-Ball Rules

1. If a shooter gets a perfect win. No losses in their match. 20 points.
2. If a shooter wins their match by shooter forfeit, 20 points..
3. If a shooter wins their match with one or more games lost in their match, 14 points.
4. If a shooter wins their match by team forfeit, 14 points.

1. If a shooter loses their match but has at least one game won in their match, 3 points.
2. If a shooter loses their match and has no games won in their match, 1 point.
3. If a shooter loses their match due to forfeit, 0 points.

1. Rackless match = 1 point.
   1. How to achieve
      1. You must win the lag.
      2. You must break all of the racks in the match. 
      3. You must shut out your opponent.
      4. You can committ no fouls on any of your breaks.
         1. This includes any illegal breaks which causes the break to turn over to the opponent.
2. Table Run
   1. Legally make a ball on the break and legally pocket all required balls to win the game before your opponent gets a turn at the table = 1 point for each.
   2. If your opponent breaks dry, does not scratch, and commits no fouls on the break, and you legally pocket all required balls to win the game before your opponent gets another turn at the table = 1 point for each. In NAPA 9-ball (not 9-ball Pro), if you legally pocket the 9-ball early for the win, you do indeed earn the table run bonus point.
   3. If the breaker commits an illegal break as outlined in Rule 1.4 and the opponent takes over the break on a re-rack, the opponent taking over the break CAN achieve a table run bonus point by running out from the re-rack.
   4. A table run bonus point can not be achieved if a push or push out has been played. A table run can only happen immediately after the break or immediately after a dry break.
3. 8-ball on the Break = 1 point for each.
4. 3-Foul Rule Win = 1 point for each game won by the 3-Foul Rule. This only applies to the games 9-ball Pro and 10-ball Pro.
5. Hill-2-Hill = 1 point to the loser. The loser of each match that goes to the hill will receive 1 to 4 bonus points depending on what your division captains vote on or your league operator chooses at the beginning of the session.

NOTE: Scoring a snap (9-ball on the break) does not count as a table run bonus point. Achieving a SNAP only counts as a SNAP bonus point, not both.

When a team must forfeit individual matches they are to write “Forfeit” in the player 2 shooter's name section of their score sheet on the match they must forfeit. When forfeiting a match the team that had to forfeit receives 0 points for that match. The opposing team receives 20 points for the forfeited match if they pay their nightly dues for the forfeited match. If nightly dues are not in their team packet no points will be awarded for the win. The team getting the win may elect which shooter on their team will be credited with the 20 points for the NAPA individual point race. The shooter's name must be placed on the score sheet; the shooter MUST be present and must NOT have already played a match that day, in that division.

In NAPA singles leagues, forfeits are worth either 14 or 20 points depending on what was set by your local league operator at the beginning of the session. Note that forfeits in singles leagues are subject to the Advance Notice clause in Rule 2.1.

If a team is a “no show” or a team has to forfeit an entire match, the opposing team is awarded a standard win (14 points) for each match on their score sheet. The team which is awarded the forfeited wins must pay their entire team’s nightly league dues in order to receive points. If the nightly league dues are not in the team packet at the end of match night, no points will be awarded. The team that has forfeited the match will receive 0 points.

NOTE: If a team has at least one shooter, their team does NOT have to forfeit the entire team match. The lone shooter should go ahead and play their individual match. If the shooter’s teammates are still a “no show” at the end of the individual match the team will be credited with the one individual match played and all points accumulated during that match and simply forfeit the remaining individual matches. The remaining forfeited matches are considered ‘individual’ matches and the opposing team is credited with 20 points for each one as stated in rule 6.4 (above).

If an entire team forfeits three weeks during a session the team will be dropped from the division.

Unpaid league dues on league night by ANY player or ANY team can result in penalty points, suspension, or forfeiture of prize money at any time. Any player or ANY team that has unpaid dues at the end of the regular league session is automatically disqualified from any prize money.

Any player who has unpaid dues to their league operator is automatically disqualified from playing in any NAPA Tour Stops or NAPA International events until all dues are paid up. 

In any league (Singles, Teams, Scotch Doubles, or Scotch Triples) if a team(s) or player(s) drops out of a session or is suspended or banned prior to the scheduled end of a session that team(s) or player(s) is not eligible for a refund of any monies (Commitment Fees, dues paid, etc.) nor eligible to be awarded any prize monies from the Player Payout, Individual awards, etc.

Any team packet that is incomplete or any live scores that are incomplete can result in a 30 point penalty from a team’s or single player's total session points. In order to submit a complete team packet every team must do the following:

1. Submit a completed score sheet in the league packet at the end of each league night or submit a completed digital score sheet on NAPA Play, the live mobile scoring app.
2. Submit all shooter dues in the league packet or designated drop off at the end of each league night.
3. Submit all venue/bar dues along in the league packet at the end of each league night if venue/bar dues are required by the local NAPA league operator.

Any shooter who has played a match without paying their proper sanctioning fees for the match can be immediately suspended by the local league operator or NAPA HQ until those dues are paid. 

Any player who has unpaid dues to their league operator is automatically disqualified from playing in any NAPA Tour Stops or NAPA International events until all dues are paid up. 

NAPA recognizes a signed score sheet (or completed score entry in NAPA Play) as a final agreement, between both team captains, that the score sheet is correct and is ready to be submitted to the NAPA main office. However, NAPA recognizes that there are times, when after a completed score sheet has been submitted to the NAPA there may be a mistake on the score sheet, later recognized, and a change needs to be made to the score of a game or an entire match. By click on the button titled Report Incorrect Score in the online standings score sheet on the NAPA website at www.napaleagues.com your League Operator will be notified of the mistake.  Your local league operator will contact the NAPA main office and have the scores corrected.
