Rounds and Heats

In case the number of participants in the track events is too large to allow the competition to be
conducted satisfactorily in a single round, preliminary rounds shall be conducted and only those
qualifying will be eligible to compete in the final round. To reiterate the same, where preliminary
rounds are held, all athletes must compete in them to qualify for the final round. Foul Start In
every race, a foul start will result in the immediate disqualification from the event as per the ‘one-
strike rule’ of the IAAF.

Obstruction

Any competing athlete who jostles or obstructs another athlete, so as to impede their progress,
shall be liable to disqualification from that event. The referee shall have the authority to order the
race to be re-conducted, excluding any disqualified athlete or, in the case of a preliminary round,
to permit any athlete(s) seriously affected by jostling or obstruction (other than any disqualified
athlete), to compete in a subsequent round of the event. Normally, such an athlete should have
completed the event with bona fide effort.

Lane Infringement

In all races, each athlete shall keep within their allocated lane from start to finish. This shall also
apply to any portion of a race run in lanes.

Relay and Baton exchange

One foul start is allowed per athlete, after which the race will be restarted. A subsequent foul
start will result in disqualification of the athlete from that particular race. There will be an
exchange zone within which the baton has to be exchanged. Dropping the baton will not lead to
disqualification if no interference is made to the other teams while retrieving it. Obstruction Any
competing athlete who jostles or obstructs another athlete, so as to impede their progress, shall
be liable to disqualification from that event. The Referee shall have the authority to order the race
to be re-conducted, excluding any disqualified athlete or, in the case of a preliminary round, to
permit any athlete(s) seriously affected by jostling or obstruction (other than any disqualified
athlete), to compete in a subsequent round of the event. Normally, such an athlete should have
completed the event with bona fide effort.

been pocketed. If the Queen is pocketed before any carrom of the player is pocketed, the Queen shall

be taken out for placing, and the player shall lose their turn. If the Queen and the carrom of a player are

pocketed together in one stroke, the Queen shall be considered covered.

5. While covering the Queen, if a player pockets the last carrom of their own together with the last

carrom of their opponent by a proper stroke, they shall be awarded 3 points. If the score is 22 or more,

they shall win by 1 point. While covering the Queen, if a player pockets the last carrom of their

opponent by an improper stroke, they shall lose the Board by the number of their carrom lying on the

carrom board, together with the points for the Queen. If the score of the opponent is 22 or more, they

shall lose by the number of carrom only. If demanded, an additional point shall be awarded to the

opponent. If a player pockets their own last carrom by a proper stroke, leaving the Queen on the

carrom board, they shall lose the Board by 3 points.

pool
format

§ Matches will be played in a "Best of 3" format, with a set of 3 frames to determine the winner.

§ Each team can comprise a maximum of 2 players.

general rules
§ Determining First Break: The player winning the lag has the option to determine who executes
the first break shot. Players will alternate breaking on each subsequent game.

§ Eight Ball Rack: The 15 object balls are racked in a tight triangle, with the apex ball on the foot
spot and the eight ball in the middle of the triangle. The other balls are placed without a specific
pattern.

§ Break Shot: To make a legal break, the player must hit the balls and ensure that four balls hit
cushions and that the cue ball doesn’t go down a pocket. If the 8-ball is potted on the break, the
player is entitled to ask for a re-rack. If the player fails to make a legal break, it is a foul, and the
incoming player has the option of (1) accepting the table in position and shooting, or (2) having the
balls re-racked and having the option of shooting the opening break himself or allowing the
offending player to rebreak.

§ Open Table/Choosing : Before groups are determined, the table is "open," and the shooter must
call their intended ball. If legally pocketed, the corresponding group becomes theirs, and the
opponent is assigned the other group.

§ Call Shot: In Call Shot, obvious balls and pockets do not have to be indicated. It is the opponent's
right to ask which ball and pocket if he is unsure of the shot.

§ Continuing Play: The shooter remains at the table as long as they continue to legally pocket
called balls or win the rack by pocketing the eight ball.

§ Spotting Balls: Only the eight ball is re-spotted if pocketed or driven off the table on the break.
No other object ball is ever spotted.

§ Fouls: If a player commits a foul, the opposition player is entitled to place the cue ball anywhere
on the table. It is a foul when a player does any of the following
Fails to hit your own object balls
Hits the cue ball off the table
Jumps the object ball off the table
Potts one of the opposition's object balls
Hits the cue ball twice
Pushes the cue ball rather than striking it
A player taking a shot when it is not their turn
Executes a jump shot.

§ Loss of Game: A player loses the game if he commits any of the following infractions:

o Fouls when pocketing the 8-ball.

o Pockets the 8-ball on the same stroke as the last of his group of balls.

o Jumps the 8-ball off the table at any time.

o Pockets the 8-ball in a pocket other than the one designated.

o Pockets the 8-ball when it is not the legal object ball.
