Shot Program

WPA – Artistic Pool Division
World Championship
2018
Official Shot / Challenge Program

Shot Program and Selection
1. For each degree of difficulty (DOD; point value) in each discipline, players will select one shot (a,
b, or, c). Therefore, players will select 5 shots in each discipline and shoot a total of 40 shots.
2. Players are locked into the selection once they take a legitimate stroke at the shot. Warm up
strokes and accidentally nudging a ball with the cue tip do not constitute a legitimate stroke.
3. Players will receive three attempts to make each shot. Players may only make each shot once.
4. Scoring: players will receive the full DOD value if the shot is made on the first attempt, the DOD
value minus one if the shot is made on the second attempt, the DOD value minus two if the shot
is made on the third attempt, or zero if the shot is not made on any attempt. Exception: Shots
with special scoring, as outlined in the shot program. (Discipline 2 – Shot 4; see scoresheet)
Tournament Format
1. Players will be divided into ‘flights’ of 2, 3, or 4 players, depending on the number of total
entrants and tables available. Flights will be determined at the players meeting or earlier.
Players will be divided into groups based on ranking and flights will consist of a random selection
of a player from each group.
2. Each flight will play four rounds. Each round will consist of two shot disciplines grouped as
follows: 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8. The order of the grouped disciplines is at the
discretion of the tournament director.
3. Before each round, players will receive a set number of minutes for practice time on the
tournament table. The amount of time will be decided at the players meeting or earlier. Typical
practice time is four minutes.
4. Playing order will consist of a ‘rotating lead off’ process. See ‘Play Order’ below.
Standings and Tiebreakers

1. Player’s total point score after shooting 40 shots will determine the final standings.
2. Discipline champions will be determined based on player’s total points in a given discipline.
3. If players are tied on point value for either overall ranking or discipline champion, the following
tiebreakers will be used:
a. 1st attempt makes
b. 2nd attempt makes
c. 3rd attempt makes
d. 1st attempt points
e. 2nd attempt points
f. 3rd attempt points
4. If players remain tied for discipline champion, the “dollar bill shot” tiebreaker will be used.
5.

Rules of Artistic Pool
A. General Rules
1. The player is responsible for knowing the setup and requirements set forth in the shot program. All
questions should be resolved prior to the match with the tournament director.
2. All shots will be judged based on the intent of the shot. If any loophole is found that changes the
intent of the shot, those changes to the shot will not be allowed.
3. A full, intentional stroke counts as an attempt. Accidentally nudging the cue ball does not count as an
attempt.
1. Exception 1: Wing shots, once a ball is rolled, it counts as an attempt.
2. Exception 2: Any shot requiring multiple hits. The first full, intentional stroke counts as an
attempt. Subsequent cue contact with the cue ball or object balls count as a hit. For example, if
the shot calls for the cue ball to be hit twice, nudging the cue ball on the second hit counts as a
hit.
3. On shots requiring multiple hits, after the initial hit, players may take as many strokes as
necessary to complete subsequent hits. For example, if the shot calls for the cue ball to be hit
twice, a player attempting the second hit but completely missing the cue ball may take another
stroke to try to hit the cue ball as long as other parameters of the shot are met.
4. Table judge’s and tournament director’s decisions are final.
B. Ball and Prop Placement and Positioning

1. Any balls or object specified as ‘ball-in-hand’ may be placed anywhere on the table, provided that the
intent of the shot is preserved.
2. Any balls or object specified as ‘ball-in-hand’ but has additional positioning requirements may be
adjusted freely by the player provided that the additional requirements are met.
3. All balls specified as ‘hanging near a pocket’ may be freely adjusted by the player near that pocket
within reason.
4. Any object or ball that must be positioned within a zone must be completely in that zone.
5. Any ball that must come to rest within a zone will be considered in that zone if any part of the ball is
within the zone, measured by the edge of the ball.
6. All chalk cubes placed on the table must be well up, and must be square with the table (may not be
rotated), unless otherwise stated.
7. Chalk cubes may be positioned anywhere on the rail at the player’s discretion.
8. All measurements of 1 chalk’s width will be measured with a cube of chalk held at mid-ball height (the
widest part of the ball), unless otherwise stated.
C. Shot Allowances and Restrictions

1. It is always okay for a ball to contact an extra cushion near a ball hanging in a pocket, unless otherwise
stated.
2. It is always okay for the cue ball to scratch, unless otherwise stated.
3. If there is a helper ball – hanging ball combination, it is always okay for the cue ball to contact either
the helper ball or hanging ball directly. Rules 1 and 2 still apply.
4. Extra contact between balls is not allowed, unless otherwise specified.
5. At no time may any ball (cue ball or object ball) or prop fly off the table.
6. Players are free to shoot the mirror image of any shot. Please note that rotating a shot 90 degrees is
not the mirror image and will not be allowed.
7. Players are free to shoot any part of any shot with either hand.
8. Players may not switch cues during a shot unless otherwise specified or due to equipment failure.
Players may switch cues between attempts.
9. Players must keep at least one foot on the floor when shooting. It is allowable for a player to “raise the
floor” using any object.
D. Equipment
1. All cues must be a minimum of 40 inches in length.
2. Players are allowed to place chalk or other objects underneath the bridge head, or bridge butt, as
needed provided those other objects do not interfere with the shot. Taping the cue tip to the chalk is
not allowed.
3. All vertical masse shots will require the use of a masse cloth (extra piece of standard cloth) or the
Stefano Pelinga Cloth Shield.
4. If a masse or break cloth is required for a shot, the player has the option of removing the extra cloth
from the table during the course of the shot. If the player disturbs anything other than the cloth in this
process, it will be a foul and count as a missed attempt.

Tiebreaker Shot / Challenge
Cue Ball
The cue ball is in hand and anywhere behind centerline (‘B’ – ‘E’).
Object Balls
No object balls are in this challenge. A dollar bill is placed on the table so that its edge is even
with the head cushion nose. The center of bill is halfway between pocket ‘D’ and the 1st diamond
from pocket ‘D’.
Objective
Tied players will get 1 attempt to shoot the cue ball 8 or 9 cushions in diagram pattern to dollar
bill. The player that lands his or her cue ball closest to the center of the dollar bill wins this
challenge. Table judge decision is final.
Special Notes
Tied players will lag to determine who goes first. Winner of lag has choice of shooting first or
last.
Cue ball must contact either the 8 or the 9 cushions. Contact with one is required. Contact with
both is optional. In other words, an exception to the diagramed cue ball travel may result if the
head cushion is hit as the 8th cushion and the #3 cushion is not hit near pocket D. In addition, cue
ball may hit cushion #4 as the 5th cushion hit.
The vertical edge of the cue ball closest to the dollar bill center will determine the “measured”
distance for comparing all player rolls.
If none of the tied players hits 8 or 9 cushions, then the shot will be done over with another lag
between the tied players to see who goes 1st with the lag winner having choice again of shooting
first or last.
