This will be my first year at PAPA. I’ve been reading over the PAPA 20 rules and other online posts but I’m still lost on the difference between entries, attempts, and tickets.
From the rules (https://papa.org/competitions/papa-world-championships/papa-20-world-championships):
"II. Singles Competition...
3. Fees...each entry is sold for an additional fee....
The fees for each entry are:...
Division A - $5 per attempt...
Division B - $4 per attempt..."
"III. Singles: Qualifying Rounds...
1. Purchasing Entries...Up to two entries may be purchased at a time by a player,
although no more than two entries may be outstanding....
When each attempt has been completed, the player must submit the entry by
pressing the 'COMPLETE/SAVE THIS TICKET' button....
At any point during play or immediately after play has been completed, the player
may elect to abandon his or her attempt by notifying the scorekeeper. The player
would then press the 'VOID THIS TICKET' button."
Am I missing something? I’m pretty sure an entry is a single game, right? Is an “attempt” the same thing - a single game? Is there only one entry per ticket? How many games in a “ticket”?
Is a ticket system (with multiple games on a ticket) still being used when it’s not really relevant in this style?
Thanks for helping out this PAPA-newbie.
