Rules of Play
Each round of the Trio competition will consist of 3 games of pool, 2 games of darts, and 2 games of dominoes.Each of the 7 games will be 'best of 3', and the first team to win any 4 games is the winner.In each round, a player may only play in one of the 7 games.

  This competition is not compulsory  -  If you do not want to participate,then please let the Committee know by the July League meeting

 
Pool
Each game is 'best of 3', and the first frame will start with the toss of a coin to determine break, with alternate breaks thereafter.  If a third frame is required, then whoever broke in the first frame also breaks in the third frame.

  Normal City Pool League Monday Night rules apply.

 
Darts
Each game is 'best of 3', and the start of the first leg is determined by 'nearest the bull'. The second leg is alternate, but should a third leg be required, then the start is again determined by 'nearest the bull'.

  Each game is 501, straight start, double finish.

The home team should appoint someone to chalk the score, and the away team should appoint someone to check.

 
Dominoes
Each game is 'best of 3', with 1 game being 'Chip Out / Old Game', and the other being 'Fives and Threes'. After the dominoes have been shuffled face down, each game is started by one player declaring 'odd' or 'even' before turning over one of the dominoes. If they are correct they get the first down, if they are not, their opponent gets the first down. Downs alternate between players thereafter.

In each game, after the down has been decided, each player draws 7 dominoes. The rest of the dominoes are left untouched. The player with the down places any domino from their hand on the board, and play then alternates between players. If a player cannot go, they 'knock', and play passes back to the other player.

Chip Out / Old Game
Play continues between each player as above, until either one player chips out, or neither player can play a domino in their hand. If a player chips out, they are awarded a hole. If neither player can play a domino, then the player with the lowest score in their hand is awarded the hole. In this case, double blank scores zero. The first player to 7 holes wins. 

If a deciding down is required, then the player who played the first down, also gets the deciding down.

Fives and Threes

Play continues between each player as above, until either one player chips out, or neither player can play a domino in their hand. Holes are awarded when the total of the two end dominoes is a multiple of five, or three, or both.   The first player to 61 holes wins, however they must score exactly 61 holes. that is,If they are on 59 holes, requiring just 2 holes to win, then a score of 3 holes will not count. They must score exactly 2 holes, or two scores of 1 hole.

For example if you start by laying down double six, the total will be 12, and you will score 4 holes. If your opponent then plays the six-blank, the total will still be 12, and they will score 4 holes. If you then play the blank-three, the total will be 15, and you will score 8 holes (5 holes for the multiples of three, and 3 holes for the multiples of five).
