2025 AEBF/Pool Vic Affiliation Fees OWED
Hi Club Execs,


2025 AEBF / POOL VIC AFFILIATION FEES OWED - VIA PlayHQ


This was discussed again at the Delegates meeting this week…


Reminder… any EDPL Member in Winter or Summer 2025 who still hasn’t paid their Affiliation Fees via PlayHQ, must pay by 31st December 2025.

• If a member played Winter 2025, and still owes Affiliation Fees, and if they don’t pay by 31st December, they can’t continue to play Summer after 31st December 2025, (IF they’re currently playing Summer), until their owed Affiliation Fees are paid for 2025 !

• OR… if still owe Affiliation Fees from Winter 2025, but NOT playing Summer Season, then they can’t play next Winter Season, until owed Fees are paid for 2025 !

• If they didn’t play Winter 2025, and have just joined up for this Summer 2025-26, then they also need to pay their 2025 Affiliation Fees before 31st December 2025.

• Also, if a member still owes their 2025 Affiliation Fees.. they can’t play in any Pool Victoria events and tournaments in 2026, Albury, state titles etc… until 2025 Fees owed are paid !


Please note… AEBF / Pool Vic Affiliation Fees are set annually, per calendar year (not per season), so members who paid in 2025 will need to renew their Affiliation for 2026 in the New Year via PlayHQ.

Please ensure all your club members are aware of these requirements listed above, as if Affiliation Fees aren’t paid… it could affect your players, teams, & Summer Finals Eligibility !
1 small change to 2nd Div Fixture...
There's been another small change to the 2nd Div Fixture...

Div 2 on 13/1 is now a MANHATTAN "home" game, so amended to:

* DIV 2 - 13/1 - Manhattan vs. Sandown-Potters (1 v 8) - playing at Whitehorse Club (NOT Mulgrave)

& just another reminder about these 2 dates where team is playing from alternate venue...

* DIV 2 = 27/1 - Manhattan vs. Village (1 v 10) playing at Whitehorse Club (NOT Mulgrave)

* DIV 4 = 10/2 - Bayswater vs. Croydon-A (2 v 3) playing at Rack-Em-Up (NOT Burvale)

Could the clubs/teams listed above please take note of these fixture venue changes, & ensure all their players know of alternative venue on the above dates, thank you!
3 venues - matches start AT 7PM !
(apologies, typo in previous news item)

There are 3 pub venues where matches MUST START AT 7:00 PM!

* DORSET GARDENS HOTEL
* MITCHAM HOTEL
* MOUNTAIN VIEW HOTEL

MUST start at 7:00pm, as per venue management request.

Could you please ensure all players know, who play any matches at these 3 venues!

We highly recommend that ALL matches at ALL venues can start at 7pm, as per updated EDPL By-law 8.7...

"Matches shall commence NO LATER THAN 7:15PM [earlier starts, i.e. from 7.00pm are to be encouraged]."

Thank you all for your co-operation on this matter.
2025-26 SUMMER INFO NOTES - UPDATED!
As discussed at the Club President's meeting last week, the majority of clubs preferred to KEEP Summer Season Handicaps & Bonus-Frames.

Please find attached the UPDATED 2025-26 SUMMER INFO NOTES...

The UPDATED info is on page.2, section 6) regarding Team Handicaps & Bonus frames....

6) TEAM HANDICAPS – will be used again this Summer Season, similar to last summer…

a) Each teams’ players points will be added PER ROUND, & must not exceed the division points cap.
The round with the highest points total will be used to determine the maximum team points total.
The difference between the two teams’ maximum round points totals to be calculated….

(eg 98.4 pts – 94.1 pts = 4.3 pts lower)

b) HANDICAPS:

DIV 1, 2, 3 = 1 bonus-frame per 3pts difference (MAXIMUM 5 BONUS-FRAMES)

DIV 4 & 5 = 1 bonus-frame per 2pts difference (MAXIMUM 4 BONUS-FRAMES)

Bonus-frame/s to be added to lower points team frames total for match score, & must reach the whole number of points difference (so difference NOT rounded up/down)

(eg.. Div 1, 2, 3 = if teams are 3.3pts difference, then lower team gets 1 “bonus-frame” added.
If 5.9pts difference, it’s still only 1 “bonus-frame”. Must reach 6pts difference for 2 “bonus-frames” to be added to the lower points team score total, for results/ladders.

(eg.. Div 4 & 5 = if teams are 2.3pts difference, then lower team gets 1 “bonus-frame” added.
If 3.9pts difference, it’s still only 1 “bonus-frame”. Must reach 4pts difference for 2 “bonus-frames” to be added to the lower points team score total, for results/ladders.

** ALSO PLEASE NOTE - there will now be a MAXIMUM BONUS FRAMES LIMIT, as noted above, & in the attached document.

DIV 1,2,3 = MAXIMUM 5 BONUS-FRAMES
DIV 4 & 5 = MAXIMUM 4 BONUS-FRAMES

ALL FRAMES MUST BE UMPIRED IN MATCHES !
Hello Members,

It has been brought to our attention that some teams are NOT umpiring frames in matches on a Tuesday night?!

ALL FRAMES played in EDPL matches MUST be umpired, including timed, as per EDPL By-Laws & match requirements.

REMINDER about the following EDPL By-Laws....

* By-Law 8.4 – In both Winter and Summer seasons, both the home and the away teams shall supply Umpires for competition nights. Failure by either club to supply enough umpires on competition night will result in a fine.

* By-Law 8.15 – All players and umpire(s) participating in a frame must be present (at the table) before the “BALL RACKING” can be accepted and timing can commence.

* By-Law 16.2.15 – Failure to supply sufficient umpires on home & away matches, Fine $10.00 per umpire not supplied.

Most teams are doing the correct thing, & abiding by the Umpiring By-Laws, BUT... for any team that is NOT umpiring, please ensure your team IS umpiring frames from now on, no exceptions!

This issue will also be on the Agenda for the next Delegates Meeting on Monday 7th July.

Thank you!

Combined Premier Division CLEARANCE info
Combined Premier Division Notice for 2025 Winter and Beyond

Good morning to all the Premier Division players of the EDPL & DDPL,

After a meeting of the 2 leagues’ Executive committees, we have agreed that clearances will now be required as a formality between leagues, even if you play for an EDPL team and then you want to move across to a DDPL team ..

As an example, if you recently played for Manhattan Eightball Club for Winter 2024 and want to play for Green Tables Pool Club in winter 2025…

A. You must complete the clearance section on league rego form and have it signed as per normal by both clubs involved.

B. The person requesting the clearance must also be financial and have no outstanding debt to its current/previous club, so if you currently owe money to Manhattan Eightball club, the outstanding fees must be paid before Manhattan will approve the clearance to Green Tables.

The EDPL & DDPL Committees are unified with this decision and will not accept any registration requests from anyone still owing moneys to existing clubs.

We hope this makes sense to everyone and if it doesn’t, please contact someone from the combined league’s Executives.

Regards,
The Combined Premier Executives
