Season format

Season structure

For the inaugural season, each team will play in six games, two against each team. Each game will be played across a five-day period, with each day featuring a different game format. At the end of the regular season, the two teams who accumulated the most points advance to the finals to determine the season champions.

Game structure

Each game consists of five nine-ball matches spread across a five-day period, each with a different format.

King of the Hill (5v5) – Each team will nominate one player to begin the match. Once a rack is completed, the losing team will send another player for the next rack. Once all five players have played, referred to as a "cycle", all players can be nominated to play again. The first team to score 15 racks wins and earns five points.
Doubles (2v2) – Each team will nominate two players to begin the match. Once a rack is completed, the losing team will send another two players for the next rack. The first team to score 13 racks wins and earns five points.
Singles (1v1) – Each team will nominate a player that will play the entire match. The first player to score 13 racks wins and earns three points for his team. Each team is required to send one player to a singles match once during the season before nominating them again.

Sharking

During the games, players may trash talk their opponents, known as "sharking", before the shooter gets in a shooting stance.
