The answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding the CSLIPL.

1. Are all league fees due up front?

Yes. All fees are due up front. This is the only way to ensure that when we post the payouts (within two weeks of the start of each session) that those payouts are rock solid. If we didn't, we may have players drop out once they feel they can't make the money affecting their own results as well as the payouts.

2. Can I play if I don't have an established Fargo?

Yes. There are two ways to play if you do not have an established Fargo. You can "Self Assess" what division you would qualify for based on the player description (we reserve the right to move any player if you have registered for the wrong division). You can also have any player you know that plays in the CSLIPL assess and verify your skill, and confirm with us which division you should be playing in.

3. Is the CSLIPL a sanctioned league?

Yes. We are currently dual sanctioned between BCA, ACS/CCS. These sanctions are included in your league fees. With BCA, you qualify for singles in the National events (reginal events may be excluded and it's best to contact your local league operator for clarification). With ACS/CCS, you qualify for all events for both singles and team events (must play in either singles or teams or both to qualify).

4. Are different table sizes allowed?

Yes. We currently have each division subdivided into a 7' option and an 8'/9' option.

5. How is cheating prevented?

The CSLIPL is a monitored live stream that is reviewed not only by your peers viewing the streams, but the Cue Sports Live staff as well. We will also have an entrusted team of people that are within the page that may not be players but have assigned roles within the league to verify games and will be viewing matches. We encourage and expect all players to play with integrity. However, if anyone is caught being deliberately dishonest, regardless of division or relationship to CSLIPL, CSL or its staff, that player will be BANNED FOR LIFE, not just a session or a certain period. The player will also forfeit the fees as well as any claim to prize money all inclusive.

6. When do I have to play each match?

The best part about playing the ghost league is the flexibility. You can play your match each week when it works for you. We do not set the time or day that you must play. Prior to the start of each match, message the CSLIPLPLAYERS page with a note that you are going live. We will expect to see your live stream up and running within approximately 10 minutes of that message. Please state your name, the match you are playing, and the time you went live and what number each game is. For example, “Grant Zemp going live for week 2 playing 9 ball, the time is 9PM and this is game 1 of 15.” Please announce each successive game to follow. Also indicate your game score after each game.

7. How do I play and score against the ghost?

For each division, you will find the official rules of the respective game you will be playing under the "Game Rules" tab. The scoring is also explained within each set of rules. We also do a Q&A at the beginning of each session that covers scoring.

8. What if I have additional questions?

We are always here to help in any aspect that we can. If you have additional questions, please feel free to send us an email to cuesportslive@gmail.com
