regulate
The game was played with a winner's break. This means that the team has the right to kick-off that the previous game has also won.
In 2010, the game was played up to the round of 16 until a team had won eight games (racks), in the quarter-finals the number of racks needed to win was increased to nine and in the final to ten.
Furthermore, a so-called shot clock was used, which does not allow the players to wait longer than 40 seconds with their shot. However, you have the option to announce an extension once per rack, which gives you another 40 seconds more time for the push.
