SCOTCH DOUBLES RULES

• Players on a team alternate each shot. The alternating team breaks: either team member may break.
• Teams may alternate shooting rotation after each game. Failure to stay in rotation once the game has started will result in a FOUL. The

original rotation must be restored on their next turn. Note: It is permissible to inquire as to whose shot it is at anytime without fear of a coaching foul. Any further discussion when the team is deemed to be “at the table” will result in a FOUL.

• NO COACHING: When a team is not “at the table”, they may quietly discuss anything they please…or not. No time outs or coaching allowed.

Any assistance (verbal or non-verbal) by a team during their turn at the table is a FOUL.

• When the table is turned over to the incoming team, one of the partners must immediately approach the table.
• Any of the four players involved with the matches may call a FOUL
