Rule 2: Player Conduct

- No one gets a participation trophy, so don't even ask.
Rule 3: Equipment and Safety
- Players must wear closed-toed shoes at all times while playing.
- No sharp objects allowed on or near the table.
- If you break a ball, you get 2 extra points for the next 3 games.
Rule 4: Tournament Format
- Single-elimination. May the best player win.
- Best 2 out of 3 games. Loser gets a participation trophy.
- Tie-breaker: whoever eats the most free pizza.
Rule 5: Miscellaneous
- No one gets to touch the table without permission. You'll be asked to leave.
- No one gets to touch the balls without permission. You'll get 10 penalty points.

Rule 6: Penalties
- 3 points for every minor infraction.
- 7 points for every major infraction.
- 10 points and a warning for every minor infraction during the tournament final.
Rule 7: Appeals
