Justification of point system :

● We are taking team size as the criteria for normalizing the point system.
● Athletics is altogether a different sport event thus we have a different point system.
This is also normalized according to the point system of team events.
● Relay races accounted for the only team event in athletics. Thus considering it as
an intermediate between both we have chosen the point system for the relay

F) SEMI FINAL SCENARIO:

after all the matches have been played, will qualify for the semi-finals. The top two
teams will be selected from the group that has four teams.
2. In the case of a 3-3-3 pool split, the team with the highest points in each group will

General rule:

● A team consists of 5 members (2 doubles pairs and 1 for singles.)

● A team should consist of at least one woman.

Note: Rules of the carrom varies from region to region and we are following the below
mentioned rules:

Preparation:

To decide who goes first, one player should hold a piece concealed in one hand. If the
opponent guesses correctly on which hand, the opponent chooses who goes first,
otherwise, the player concealing the piece chooses. The person who plays first aims to
pocket the white pieces. The game is played by two opponents sitting opposite each
other. To begin, the Queen is placed in the center of the board. Six pieces are put
around the Queen directly in a circle, each touching the Queen and their neighbors.
The remaining twelve pieces are positioned around the inner circle of six pieces so that
each outer piece touches the inner circle. Both circles should have pieces alternating in
color. The two circles are oriented so that the Queen, a white piece from the inner
circle and a white piece from the outer circle lies in a straight line pointing towards the
center of the side of the board where the player who will play first is sitting.

Objective:

Players take turns to play. A turn consists of one or more strikes. A player wins by
pocketing all of the pieces of their chosen color first. However, neither player can win
until one or the other player has "covered the Queen". To cover the Queen, a player
must pocket one of her own pieces immediately after pocketing the queen. If the
Queen is pocketed but not covered, the Queen is returned to the board (by the
umpire). Both players normally try to cover the Queen in addition to trying to win the
game because a player who wins and also covers the Queen receives 5 bonus points.
Striking:

● For each strike, the player must position the striker within the baseline OR on
one of the two circles at either end of the baseline. Only 30 seconds will be
given per strike.
● A striker within the baseline must touch both the front line and the rear line.
● The striker may not "cut the moon" - be placed partially within the baseline and
partially within the circle.
● The player must flick the striker with one finger or with the help of two fingers so
that it crosses the front baseline - it is not permitted to flick backward or
horizontally.
● A piece that is on or behind the front baseline must not be struck by the striker
until the striker has crossed the front baseline.
● In striking, the player's hand or arm must not cross the diagonal foul lines at
either end of the baseline.

Basic rules:

● For the very first turn, the player is allowed one attempts to "break”
● It doesn't matter which piece the striker hits first and it doesn't matter if the
striker hits no pieces.
● If a striker pockets the Queen and/or one or more pieces of her own
colour, the player retrieves the striker and takes another strike.
● If the player pockets no pieces or commits a foul, the turn finishes.
● If a player pockets the last coin of the opponent before covering the
queen, the opponent wins.

Covering the Queen:

● A player may only pocket and cover the Queen if that player has already
pocketed at least one piece of that player's color.
● Should a player pocket the Queen before being permitted to cover it, the turn
continues but the Queen is returned to the center at the end of the turn.
● If a player pockets the Queen and one of his/her own pieces in the same turn,
this count is considered as the player has covered the Queen. Such a player
must have already pocketed at least one piece of his/her own.
● When a player pockets the Queen but does not cover it, the Queen is
returned as near as possible to the center circle by the umpire.
 ● If the player pockets the queen and one of the opponents coin together, the
player gets a chance to cover their own coin to cover the queen while the
opponent's coin is considered as covered
● If the winner gets the queen, 5 bonus points will be added to the score of the
winner.
● If the player pockets the queen and one of the opponents coins as follow
coin, the queen will be returned back to the board and the opponent's coin is
considered covered.
● If the player pockets the queen and the opponent's last coin the opponent
wins.

Other Rules:

● Pieces returned to the center cannot be placed on top of other pieces within
the main circle (done by umpire only).
● If pieces come to rest standing on their edge or overlapping another piece,
they are left as they are until they move again in the normal course of play.
● If the striker comes to rest under another piece, the striker should be removed
with as little disturbance to the covering piece as possible by the umpire.

Fouls:

When a player commits a foul, the turn comes to an end immediately and a penalty is
incurred. The penalty is that one pocketed piece is returned to the board by the
opponent anywhere within the main circle. Any other pieces required to be returned to
the board are also placed within the main circle by the opponent. It is normal for pieces
to be positioned in order to confer an advantage for the opponent.
A foul is recorded in the following situations:
● The striker is pocketed.
● If striker and queen pocketed simultaneously in one strike then the queen will
come at the centre (will be kept by the umpire) and a penalty piece will come (will
be kept by the opposition).
● The striker or any other piece leaves the board (the piece which went out of
board during striking will come to the centre as much as possible near centre
moon by the umpire, in case of multiple pieces, the remaining pieces will be kept
opposite to the next player touching the first piece by umpires but foul will be
kept by the opponent only).
● Pieces that leave the playing area and then come back to the playing area by
touching foreign objects will be considered as it happened naturally and no foul
 will be taken but the coin will return to the centre as much as possible closer to
the centre moon by the umpire.
● The player is not supposed to directly strike any of the opponent's coin and will
be considered a foul unless it touches one of their own coins or the striker
touches the opponent's coin after getting hit from one of the boundaries.
● A player contravenes the rules for striking
● A player touches any piece in play, other than the striker.
● The first player to strike fails to break the counters in three attempts.
Where a penalty is incurred but no pocketed pieces exist to return, the
penalty is "owed" until a piece becomes available. If a penalty is owed,
when a piece becomes available due to being pocketed, the piece is
returned to the center by the opponent at the end of the turn.

Should the opponent forget to do this before the start of the next turn, any owed
penalties are lost.
● Other unusual playing activity can cancel the board at any time and the action
will be decided by the umpires on the spot.

Other Fouls:
● Repositioning the chairs (little bit unintentional vibrations are okay but
major displacement recognised by the umpires can lead to a foul)
● If the player’s striking hand crosses the imaginary diagonal partition.
● If the player talks with his partner or any other person, however, he can ask
about the rules or any complication that occurred to the umpire.
● Arguing with umpires can lead to disqualification from further rounds
of the tournament.

Scoring:
● At the end of the round, the winner scores 1 point for each opponent's piece
left on the board. The total score for three rounds is therefore 12 points.
Note: The timing and scoring of each match will be finalised by the umpire at
the time of the event.

Doubles:
● Carrom is played by four people just as often as by two. For the doubles game,
partners sit opposite one another and turn to proceed in clockwise order. Other
than that, play is exactly the same as for the singles game.
 NOTE : If any other situation occurred regarding the rules then the decision of
the umpire will be followed.
