Team Americano

The same format as above but instead of competing individually you stay in your prearranged pair 

 

Mexicano

​

• A lottery decides who you play with and against in your first game.

• From your second game it is the score of the other matches that decide your next game.

• The pitting of the games depends completely on the current results on the leaderboard. Number 1 and 3 plays against 2 and 4. 5 and 7 playes against 6 and 8 and so on.

• Once the table has settled after a few rounds, the matches will be even. The better you play, the more difficult the opposition and vice versa.

• The scoring and pitting system of the mexicano means that you can play with and against the same player several times.

• Each match is played for a certain amount of points, e.g 16, 24, 32 

• Each game won gives the team a point 

• Once all balls have been played the score is entered and then transferred to the individual players. If a 24 point match finishes 10-14; player 1 and 2 gets 10 points each. Player 3 and 4 gets 14 points each
