Bar Sports Triathlon | Bowling, Pool, Darts, and Beer

Overview

The Bar Sports Triathlon consists of 3 sporting events hand selected to compliment the alcohol consumption naturally associated with each
The 3 sports are Bowling, Pool, and Darts
Each sport consists of 3 games per event
Each game is scored separately and the points are totaled from all games to determine an overall winner
Each game is scored evenly with 1st Place receiving 3 points, 2nd Place receiving 2 points, and 3rd Place receiving 1 point
The organizer has the option to add points for 4th Place (1/2 point) and 5th Place (1/4 point)
Entry fee also varies per year based on the number of participants and individual game payouts (see score sheets for suggested payoffs)

Bowling consists of 3 separate regulation games
Each game is scored individually for point purposes
Players will randomly select to determine on which set of 2 lanes they will bowl (This order selection will also be used for the 8-ball / 9-ball Pool schedule)
Bowling is scored by standard PBA rules
Winning order is determined by end score of each game
If any placing results in a tie ... there will be a one ball, most pins, roll-off to decide the victor
If the roll-off results in a tie by strike ... Repeat roll-off
If the roll-off results in a tie by less than a strike ... throw 2nd ball at remaining pins
Repeat roll-off until victor is determined

Each participant will play every other participant once (Flip for break)
Call all shots after break
If you scratch on break, all balls made remain in pocket
If you pocket 8-ball on break ... you win
If you pocket 8-ball on break and scratch ... you lose
If you only make solids on break and do not scratch you are solids
If you only make stripes on break and do not scratch you are stripes
If you make any combination of solids/stripes on break ... table is open
8-ball is not neutral. Cannot be used in any combination of balls
If on the 8-ball, cannot contact any other ball
If you scratch, you pull one ball plus any of your balls made on that shot
Can use opponents ball(s) in combination as long as your ball is hit first
Do not have to call long rails on bank shots (rail parallel to direction of the ball as it approaches object pocket)
All other disputes will be settled by scorekeepers (feel free to have a neutral player observe any complicated shots before they are attempted)

Each participant will play every other participant once (Flip for break)
If you scratch on break, all balls made remain in pocket (except 9-ball)
If you pocket 9-ball on break ... you win
If you pocket 9-ball on break and scratch ... spot 9-ball
If you scratch on break, opponent does not get ball-in-hand. Opponent shoots from behind scratch line (spot low-number ball if behind line)
The first ball struck on each shot must be the low-number ball on the table
Shots are not called (slop counts)
No balls are pulled on a scratch or illegal shot except the 9-ball
Opponent gets ball-in-hand if previous shooter scratches, does not strike low-number ball first, or shoots cue ball off the table
All other disputes will be settled by scorekeeper

Close out 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, and Bulls Eye
To close out a number you must have 3 legal scores for that number
Possible legal scores consist of single, double, or triple
Numbers can be closed in any order
Each round is complete after every player has thrown 3 darts
Winning order is determined by whom ever closes all numbers at the end of any round
If more than one player closes out in any round they will have a shootout
Shootout consists of 3 darts thrown at the Bulls Eye (player with most Bulls Eyes wins)
Repeat Shootout until a winner is determined
Continue rounds until all places are filled (2nd, 3rd, etc.)

Start scoring with every player having 401 points
Deduct from 401 with total of every set of 3 darts thrown by players
Totals are determined by tallying the number-area the 3 darts hit (taking into account the double and triple)
To close out the game your total must equal ZERO exactly after any dart of your last set of 3 darts is totaled.
Also, when ZERO total is reached, it must be by your last dart landing in a DOUBLE area.
If after any of your 3 darts are thrown your total equals 1 or less than zero ... that turn is over and no points are deducted for that round
Winning order is determined by whom ever reaches ZERO at the end of any round
If more than one player zeros out in any round they will have a shootout
Shootout consists of 3 darts thrown at the Bulls Eye (player with most Bulls Eyes wins)
Repeat Shootout until a winner is determined
