Scoring
– Each game is the best of three frames (third frame not required if a player wins 2-0)
– One point awarded per frame won

– Winner on the night is determined by game wins not frame points ( eg: Team A wins the first three
games 2-1. Team A is on 6 points Team B is on 3 points. Team B wins the last two games 2-0 which
makes the frame score Team A 6 points Team B 7 points. Team A has won the night three games to
