🎱 2026 Wildcard Road to the Grand Finals!

Get ready, teams!

The Wildcard Shootout is another way to the 2026 Grand Final Qualifiers next August!

Each Session will feature Two Wildcard teams, and with three sessions per season, that’s six total Wildcard contenders battling for glory.

Wildcard Team Selection - Both Wildcard teams will be determined by the highest percentage of individual racks won during the session. Bye weeks do not count.

The two teams with the highest win percentages go head-to-head in Week 15 of every session! - Wildcard Playoff Week.

  • Both Wildcard teams are required to pay their regular weekly dues and green fees for that week.
  • Each Session will have One Wildcard Champion - Earning a spot in the Wildcard Shoot Out against the other session Wildcard winners.
  • Every rack you win boosts your team’s chances of snagging that Wildcard spot. 💪🔥
  • Team A played 420 racks and won 380 → that’s an 90% win rate.
  • Team B played 400 racks and won 370 → that’s a 92% win rate.

So play hard till the last ball drops — because even one more rack could be the difference.

Only teams finishing 3rd place or lower qualify for a shot at the Wildcard.

3 Wildcard Champions at the end of the year move on to the Wildcard Shoot Out!

🏆 Wildcard Shoot Out:

  • The Three Session Wildcard Champions will be seeded based on rack wins.
  • The #1 seed gets a first-round bye.
  • The #2 and #3 seeds face off for a chance to take on the top seed in the Wildcard Shoot Out!
  • The winner of the Wildcard Shoot Out advances to the 2026 Grand Final Qualifiers!

🎱 Wildcard Eligibility Rules:

Once a team wins a Wildcard for their division, they’re not eligible to win another one in the same year — you can’t grab the Wildcard twice! 🚫

A Wildcard Winner must maintain 6 of its original players to compete in Wildcard Shootout.

If that same team places 1st or 2nd in a later session, they’ll skip the Wildcard shootout and go straight to the Grand Final Qualifiers. 🏆

The Wildcard Shoot Out  is the comeback path, it’s a team’s shot to fight from the loser’s side and earn a place in the Grand Finals Qualifiers. 💪🔥

🎱 A Note from Your League Operator:

Please don’t get too caught up in the “what if” scenarios — There are simply too many possibilities. It’s a long season with three sessions, and every year brings different numbers of teams and unique outcomes to each session.

That being said - what matters most is this: I’m committed to keeping everything fair, transparent, and consistent for everyone.

Every decision made will be Final, but most of all Honest, and Impartial.

I’m pumped to bring this opportunity to the teams that fight hard all season but just miss shy of the top two places.

Every rack matters! and now, those teams get a real shot at the spotlight through the Wildcard! 💪🎱

I’m excited to give every team a fighting chance — even if you don’t place 1st or 2nd, you’ve still got a way in. See you at the tables and shoot the lights out!
