 Warwickshire County Pool Trials

Venue : Frames (Sati's Pad) ,The Parade, Leamington Spa

1. The competition is open to local pool league players of any standard, age or sex, venue permitting.
2. Up to 12 players are initially registered for your team at a fee of £50. Your team will not be eligible to play until the fee is paid. A clearly printed entrance form must also be presented with your fee, with the name of all the players clearly legible and returned by the deadline date on the form.
3. Players are not allowed to change from one team to another once registered for that season.
4. If during the course of the league you lose players and you wish to add players to take their place, you must go through the correct process by contacting the Regional Director or County Manager.  The correct process for adding to players who have left your squad is as follows:

The old player cannot come back if they have been brought to the attention of the Superleague organisers as having left the team.  The new player must have been playing in the league they represent from the start of that leagues season. Written confirmation from those league organizers must be produced to verify the validity of the new player. A fee of £5 will be charged for new players.

1. There will be a dress code for all players.  Non compliance will result in the team forfeiting the frame(s) that player would have played.
2. Dress Code. All players must be smartly turned out. Shoe or trainers, jeans or trousers and a shirt with a collar are the minimum required standard.  Polo shirts are acceptable. NO SHORTS OR T-SHIRTS will be entertained.  It is up to team captains to enforce this and not try to attempt to play players without the correct dress code.  Team shirts are encouraged with clean nicknames.
3. All match cards must be signed by the team captains at the end of the game to avoid disputes over the result.
4. A certain amount of flexibility will be given in the first couple of matches for teams who are not familiar with the Blackball rules.  However after the first two matches the rules will be correctly implemented.
5. Disputes : Any disputes must be brought to the attention of the Superleague organisers.  All disputes will be considered and the organizers decision will be final.  

10.  All matches on the day will commence at 1pm or 7pm.  Tables will be made available for practice before this time and practice will finish at least 5 minutes before the match starts.  Any late comers without a reasonable cause will lose a frame for every fifteen minutes they are late.  Please contact your opponents if you are running late.

1. Matches can be re-arranged but there must be a very good reason and it must be agreed by not only the captain of the team you are playing but by the Superleague organisers, who have the right to force the game to be played if they think the reason is not good enough.

12.  All matches require seven players.  You can play a match with a minimum of four players only if you are struggling to maintain a side. This will be viewed as a privilege as opposed to an acceptance.  If a team drops out all matches against this team will be null and void.

13.  All matches should be played in the spirit to which they are intended. Please abide by the rules set out in this constitution and by Blackball rules and this will ensure a smooth and enjoyable event.
