Team Masters - The BCA Pool League is instituting a new player category for forming Open Teams at the BCAPL National 8-Ball Championships called Team Master. The reason for forming this new category is to eliminate the same people from forming all-star teams year after year. All individuals who were on the rosters of the top 16 Men’s Open Teams and the top 4 Women’s Open Teams since 2005 are under this new designation effective at the 2010 BCAPL National 8-Ball Championships.
A Team Master rating by an individual does not affect their rating as a singles player. If a player is rated as an Open player (and a Team Master) they are still eligible to participate in the Open Singles divisions.
The new requirements for forming an Open Team are as follows:
Men’s Open Teams are still required to have 3 original members on the roster.
