In the 2022 semi finals and preliminary finals , the team who finishes higher on the final points score table , will have the home court advantage.
If two teams from the same club both have the home court advantage , we will have to organize a different night/afternoon or the lower placed club team will have to agree to forsake their home court advantage and play at a neutral venue.
All Grand Finals will be played at neutral venues.
There will be a prize of $100 for the highest break made by a player in each of the three competitions (throughout the rounds and finals).

Tony Tamplin 5 Man Handicap Snooker
The NDBSA Committee apologises for the error in the Competition Format page on the website. The website states that the top 8 teams go through to the finals. This instruction was inadvertently left over from the 2019 competition format.
It should read “the top 6 out of 10 teams go through to the finals”.
The handicap freeze began after the Wed 29th June round 15 games and the last round 21 will be played on 27th July.(13th July is State of Origin Final game)
