ACTEBA by-laws January 2023
72. The Champion of Champions tournament will be an annual handicapped knockout competition for the grand final winners of each division for the previous Summer and Winter competitions. This tournament shall take place after the completion of the Winter competition and prior to the commencement of the following years Summer competition.
For the purposes of this competition the Vice-President shall act as the Tournament Director. The tournament will be held at venues determined by the Tournament Director. The Tournament Director reserves the right to vary the draw if required.
73. Each match will consist of 25 frames, divided into 4 rounds of 6 frames, plus 1 doubles match. The format for the competition shall be the same as the Weekly competitions (refer By-Law 9), with the exception of the doubles match, played between rounds 2 and 3. For this match, any 2 players may pair up from the team without the need for substitution, i.e. player 8 may pair with player 9 for the home team, and player A with player H for the away team. Home and away teams for each match will be determined by a coin toss.
74. The teams invited to compete shall be those that were the divisional champions (i.e. winner of the grand final) for the previous Summer and Winter competitions, and a team representing the Junior competition. Should a team win 2 divisions in the year they shall play in the higher of the 2 divisions, and the lower spot shall be left void. Should a team win a division twice, they are only allocated one spot in the draw. Should a team decline the invitation to participate, that slot for the draw shall be replaced with a bye (i.e. another team will not be invited to take their place).
75. Only team members from the victorious team are eligible to play in that team. A player may only represent one (1) team during this competition.
76. The Junior representative team shall be selected by the Junior Development Officer, with the following selection criteria; a) at the time of the tournament players are still eligible to represent the state at the Junior National event, and b) players have in the last calendar year participated for at least 1 term of the Junior training or state trials competition.
77. The handicap shall be as follows:
(a) Super League: +0
(b) 1st Division: +4
(c) 2nd Division: +6
(d) 3rd Division: +8
(e) 4th Division: +10
(f) 5th Division: +12
(g) Juniors team: +10
78. At the completion of all 25 frames, handicaps shall be added to both team’s score to determine the winner. For example, if a 1st Division team defeated a 3rd Division team 14-11, the winner would be the 3rd division team by a score of 19-18 after addition of 8 handicap points.
