For those new teams who are unsure what is expected on match nights here is an overview of a typical match.

Both the home and the away team shouhld arrive in plenty of time to commence the match at 8pm. The pool table should be vacant by 8pm to allow matches to start promptly. Matches consist of 15 frames, and all 15 frames should be completed, irrespective of the score, as each frame is counted for frame difference.
Winter season scoring system.
1 point warded for each frame won, with no win bonus for the winning team
Summer season scoring system.
1 point awarded for each set won.
The team captains should complete the first five names (set) on their match result sheets complete with their registration number and exchange them with the opposition, so that each player is not aware of his opponent until the sheets are exchanged. Each of the five players picked to play should sign the result sheet. The away team break, whilst the home team referee in frame 1. In frame 2 the away team referee and the home team break and so on throughout the match. No player can break more than twice in a match (unless there is a re-rack or foul break). When five frames have been completed the next set of five names should be completed on the match result sheet and exchanged in similar fashion mentioned above. Likewise for the third and final set. Players can be substituted in and out for the second and third set, allowing the captain to manage his squad however he deems fit. It is only necessary for each different player used in the match to sign the result sheet once. It is common practice for sandwiches/snacks to be brought out by the hosts at a suitable point in the evening and a fund raising card is sometimes sold to offset the expense of food, table costs etc by the home team. At the end of the match the captain should complete the scores and print and sign the bottom of this own result sheet. The match result should be texted through to the divisional secretary with the correct score/information ASAP after the match. His number is on the result sheet. The result sheet should be retained by the team secretary and submitted at the next committee meeting for player ranking purposes and as a back up in case of any complaint the league committee receive by an opponent. Your result sheet is the only proof you have if there are any disputes on illegal players etc. Result sheets can be delivered in person at 7pm at Woolwich Riley's on the first Sunday of each month, alternatively they can be posted, faxed or emailed to arrive by the same date, the relevant details are on the match result sheet.
Reserve League matches are staged in a similar fashion to matches in the main league. The differences being that matches start later at 8:30pm and only 12 frames are played. Made up of 4 sets of three, therefore a team can compete with just 3 players. No player can break more than three times in a match. In the Reserve League players do not need to be registered with the SLKPA, making it easier for ad hoc players to represent a team, if a team is short.
