| 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 |
