The South London & Kent Pool Alliance (or SLKPA) is an English 8 ball pool league for teams in the SE London and NW Kent area of 5 or more members. The league is contested on Thursday evenings and matches consist of 15 frames of "World Rules" pool, commencing at 8pm. Our league caters for pool players of all standards/creeds/age/sexes and has multi divisions. The SLKPA is affiliated to Greater London County Pool Association, which is under the umbrella of the English Pool Association. We have singles and pairs competitions regularly, an Interleague team, as well as a host of other facilities to help you enjoy your pool, and all these are available to our registered players. Our aim is to be the number one pool league in this area.
THE SLKPA WELCOME ANY INTERESTED PARTIES WISHING TO SPONSOR OUR LEAGUE.
Individual divisions and knock out competitions available for sponsorship.
Starting from as little as £50.
Please contact Paul Gafa' for details.
The SLKPA Reserve League
The concept of the idea is to enable more players/teams to play/sample world rules whilst not committing to playing a full SLKPA season.
Payment of entry fees or any other monies due to the SLKPA can be made to our treasurer.

A4 POSTER
The easiest
way to form a team is to print the A4 poster above and put it up on your pub/club wall, along with a list for players to put their names up with their contact details and hey presto a team is formed.
Print this poster off and pass onto anyone interested.
The SLKPA welcomes any new players or teams who wish to participate. A mini reserve/experimental league has been set up with teams of 3 or more for any team wishing to learn "World Rules", or who would like to sample the league without committing to a full season to see if it appeals at a reduced entry fee. Full support from the league committee is provided, so that new teams can grasp the rules and settle into the league smoothly. For more information contact the League Secretary.

NOTICES
Next Committee League Meeting 7pm Sunday 5th July 2009 @ Woolwich Riley's. This meeting also doubles up with the Pairs and Winter Presentation. Match result sheets to date to be submitted on or by this time.
GENERAL
Generally the stopwatch is not used during SLKPA league matches, however if play is slow or failing behind schedule then it may be used under the guidelines below.
The use of a stopwatch at matches is permitted as long as one team captain wishes to use it then the other team must oblige. The stopwatch can be only requested by a captain, and can be enforced prior to any frame and withdrawn after any frame during a match.
Players have 1 minute to strike the cue ball after the balls have come to rest from the previous shot, with a warning given after 30 seconds. Failure incurs a foul.
Refer to Rule I of world rules.
If your team has a minor playing, please contact the venue before hand if you are playing away to confirm they are allowed on the premises. The Lee Green Constitutional Club do not permit under 18 year olds in the venue for pool matches.
A reminder that to postpone league/cup matches, 48 hours notice to the league committee is the minimum requirement. Matches should not be postponed just because certain players aren't available. Any matches cancelled without the required notice will result in the offenders forfeiting the match.
TAKING THE SLKPA FORWARD INTO SUMMER 2009
The league will be experimenting in the Summer 2009 season with the introduction of cash prizes for winners and runners up to replace trophies, and moving the Singles and Pairs knock outs to a Sunday.
