CUE-SPORTS MATCH-CONTESTS:

• All "MatchMaker CUE-SPORTS Leagues" TM  matches are to be scored by the players involved using an "Official League Score-Sheet".  Score-sheets, game rules, etc. may be obtained by printing them from the GLADIATORS-usa.com Web Site.  Match score-sheets score both playing "skill" and "game" points for each player ("Red" & "Green") during each match.  The match contest ends when one of the players achieves a game-score of 1000 points.  Game and skill scores are then determined for each player.  GLADIATORS-usa.com's "UNIVERSAL GUIDE TO FAIR CUE-SPORTS GAMES" is consulted to determine the "FAIR" or "equal-chance-to-win" "Game-Score" based upon player "Skill-Scores".  If the opponent produces a "Game-Score" ahead of "FAIR", then they WIN the match.

• CUE-SPORTS leagues are offered in the following games:

• 8-BALL:  A match contest is a race to win 10-games.  Each game won is valued at 100-points.  Loser gets 10-points per ball made.  A coin-toss determines who breaks the first game; on subsequent breaks the loser breaks.  Fouls are behind the head-string after the break, and ball-in-hand otherwise.  Eight on the breaks "wins".  All shots are "call pocket" only.

• 9-BALL:  A match contest is a race to win 10-games.  Each game won is valued at 100-points.  Loser gets 10-points per ball made.  A coin-toss determines who breaks the first game; on subsequent games the loser breaks.  Fouls are behind the head-string after the break, and ball-in-hand otherwise.  Nine on the break "wins".  Shots are not called; "luck" counts.

• 1-POCKET:  A match contest is a race to win 5-games.  Each game won is valued at 200-points.  Loser gets 20-points per ball made.  A coin-toss determines who breaks the first game; on subsequent games breaks alternate.  Fouls are behind the head-string.  Shots are not called; "luck" counts.
