Pool Play are the games you play to get seeded for elimination games ��. Pool play is what this Rule is for, when you go to a Tournament where there are 60 (16)U teams playing, some teams try to beat the system by not winning on purpose. Then as Mr. Irish said they are playing elimination Games. Game On Then Book Rule. Really not a big deal, at the better Tournaments Teams only have at most 10 or 11 players. And I do Like it ��

It looks like you may have a question ? �� Irish commented that Pool Play is Championship play "Like it or not" ? I was commenting on my experience with Tournament Play. Did I answer Cecil ? You can not win a game in Pool play and still win the Championship Game. I hope this helps.

Pool play is required and in certain levels used to seed the team into the double elimination. It is part of the championship tournament.

I was trying to say this rule is only used in Pool Play, yes it is required to play in pool play to make it to elimination games where the rule changes back to Book Rule. Some tournaments are also single elimination. Like it or not !!

It could be just me, but I think the problem stems from you misusing words, attempting to use colloquiolisms you think are appropriate when they are defined words that mean something other than what you are trying to say.

Championship play is defined in the ASA Code; it is all of (including Pool Play) the tournaments stated in the definition. If you had used "elimination games", you would be separating the pool games from the rest of the tournament(s).

Just as you now misuse "Book Rule". Since these rule changes were adopted and will be part of the book, they ALSO will be "Book Rule". Just different rules to be used in different circumstances.

I agree, I do not speak the language of proper colloquialisms. It did change the post and in my opinion people understood what the Interpretation of the new Rule is ? Maybe when I have 3000 posts on here I can correct their language ? There are people on this Forum that pick on language rather than attempting to help understand the purpose and intent of Rules. I am an Umpire not a colloquial Language interpreter. I hope someone gets something positive from your Post, I sure did.
