MASTERS

From 2016 onwards the League hold a SLKPA Masters competition.
A knock out competition for the top ranked players from the previous winter season.
Matches will consist of best of 9 frames with the final being best of 11.
The knock out will be seeded in order of the players final winter ranking.
The winner will receive the SLKPA Masters trophy for a year + an award to keep.

The inaugral 2016 Masters consisted of 8 players, whilst in 2017, 12 players competed.
In 2018, the 16 top ranked players from the Premier Division plus the top ranked players from each division outside of the Premier Division competed.

From 2018 the winners of the Masters has been offered a place in the National Champion of Champions event.

Players who fail to show, or withdraw on the day (without a valid reason) may be barred from entering the Masters the following year.

Each year a list of possible entries and their current status will be displayed here.
The draw will be seeded with the higher ranked players getting the benefits over lower ranked players.
The draw is subject to change if players withdraw so it will posted here much closer to the date of the event to avoid misunderstanding.

The 2026 Masters will take place from 10am on Bank Holiday Monday 4th May at Eltham Terrace.
Invites will be going out to those players who qualified soon.
