Gladiators

Gladiators is a division of the Rollers Pool League that offers a unique and novel format for singles 8-ball and 9-ball competition.  Two of its key features are that it offers weekly cash prizes and it does not use artificial handicaps.

Players are organized into groups called Arenas, each one between 3-5 people.  The Arenas are organized into Tiers, and if you win in your Arena one week, you will be promoted to another Arena in the next Tier up the following week.  However if you don’t win, you risk being dropped to an Arena in the next Tier down.

Arena matches are played in a round-robin format, with winners being determined by total number of wins.  Ties are broken by 8-ball points, which represent the number of balls a player sinks while incurring a loss.  If players are still tied, there are more detailed rules for handling this scenario that are described later in this document.
