| Reminder - modified FINALS Qualification |
Just a reminder about the Finals Qualification requirements for Div 1,2,3,4…. as I’ve still been getting a few queries recently from clubs/players regarding Finals…
We emailed all clubs’ Execs, and put a notice on the EDPL website back on 12th May, and another reminder on here in June, with the following information…
• Due to Covid issues, & players having to miss matches to isolate, teams forfeiting etc, the EDPL Executive are modifying the Winter Finals Qualifications for this season only….
Qualification requirements for Divisions 1,2,3,4 will now be…
Div 1,2,3,4 – Must play in 50% + 1 of matches, MINUS 2 matches
•1st Div = 21 weeks, less 3 Byes = 18 matches played, 50% + 1 =10, minus 2 =8 weeks
•2nd Div = 18 weeks = 18 matches played, 50% + 1 =10, minus 2 =8 weeks
•3rd Div = 21 weeks, less 3 Byes = 18 matches played, 50% + 1 =10, minus 2 =8 weeks
•4th Div = 20 weeks = 20 matches played, 50% + 1 =11, minus 2 =9 weeks
(***please disregard Div 1,2,3,4 finals qualifying info currently within the EDPL website system, as that’s already automatically programmed to calculate for the “normal” qualifying requirements.
So… just for this Winter Season only, Div 1,2,3,4 Finals Qualifying requirements have been modified)
Please note… Premier Division will remain as per normal, so Prems 50% +1 of matches =11 weeks
(DDPL is running Premier Div in 2022, & no modifications have been made to Prems finals qualifying).
Thank you. |

| Players to be at table & ready to play! |
It has been brought to our attention that some players are taking too long to get to the table for their frame to start, causing the opposition player to wait much longer than necessary.
This delays the frames, and also causes some matches to take a lot longer than they should.
Please ensure the next player is at the table and ready to play, immediately after the previous player has finished playing.
Players should get into the habit of checking when they are up next, and be ready well beforehand. If you need to go to the bar, toilet, smoking area, please do so well before your frame is due. Nobody should have to go looking for players when it's their turn to play.
All teams and players must abide by By-Law 8.17.2...
"If the offending captain has not complied with the request to provide a player, the opposing captain will instruct the umpire or will himself commence the two (2) minutes timing and at the end, if the player is not ready to proceed, the frame will be forfeited". |

| Reminder - Match starting time! |
It has been brought to our attention, than some matches are starting later than 7:30pm!
Please ensure all teams are abiding by EDPL By-Law 8.7...
* "Matches shall commence PRIOR to 7:30pm (earlier starts, i.e.. from 7:00pm are to be encouraged"
So... 7:30pm is the absolute LATEST the first frames should have started by! Don't wait until 7:30pm, & then think about starting the match, start from 7:00pm if you can! & for MITCHAM home games, the matches MUST start at 7:00pm, as MITCHAM HOTEL only has 2 tables.
Also, please note By-Law 8.7.4...
"Two players per team have until 8:30pm to arrive at the venue. If they have not arrived at the venue prior to time, the teams will skip to the next frame. If they fail to arrive at the venue by 8:30pm, the team will forfeit any scheduled (skipped) frames that the player was due to play. Arrival times cannot be extended
(there are no "late passes" issued anymore). |

| "8 Ball Pool The Board Game" |
Hi EDPL members,
Here's a message from the creator of "8 Ball Pool The Board Game"....
We want to let everyone know of a great initiative that is happening to promote our game to the general public.
Cue sports has suffered for many years and one of the fundamental reasons is it does not cater well to the next generation. The roots for success of any sport are getting families and parents to get their children involved, yet pool halls are just not a place for kids under teenage years.
Hence, all the promotion happening is basically targeting players with passion for the game, and not the general public. By the time kids have gotten to that age, they are already deeply involved in other sports such as tennis or football and parents are reluctant to introduce the wonderful game to their kids.
Lets help to bridge the gap between the 8 ball community and the mass consumer market.
There is now ‘8 Ball Pool The Board Game’ a family friendly tabletop game made for children and families that closely resembles traditional 8 ball pool for the next generation of young stars.
The product is made by 8 ball enthusiasts and will arrive on the market later this year as a world's first.
If everyone could please get behind a great initiative and support ‘8 Ball Pool The Board Game’ at www.8ballboardgame.com |
