Welcome to the Waterloo Pool League website
WATERLOO POOL IS BACK!
WELCOME EVERYONE TO REGULAR TUESDAYS AGAIN
Winter Season 2021-22 - Submit your Team Registrations now
You can download a Team Registration form here
Closing deadline is Tuesday September 21st
Anticipated first fixtures Tuesday 28th.
Meanwhile, we are currently holding weekly Knockouts, EVERY TUESDAY throughout August and into September.
The 1st KO was held Tuesday 10th August - there were 17 participants
The 2nd KO was held Tuesday 17th August - there were 20 participants
The 3rd KO was held Tuesday 31st August - there were 25 participants
The 4th KO was held Tuesday 7th September - there were 19 participants - this was run as a double-eliminator
The 5th KO was held Tuesday 14th Sept alongside the 2019-20 Scotch Doubles Final - there were 17 participants
We intend to hold the next KO on Tuesday 21st September - Tell everyone you know in your pool world!
Ideally people should be at Spots by 7:30 to get in the draw - alternatively, if you are going to be a bit late, let Chris, Nigel or Alan know what time you are going to make it and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
There are no prizes, just kudos!
This is for fun, to get us all 'back in the game'

There was no 2021 Summer League - reasons being:
- Getting a summer league up and running would eat into the upcoming winter season.
- The increasing success of the summer seasons in the recent pre-pandemic years had resulted in longer seasons, making it impossible to schedule the following winter season until November.
We are using this time as a reset, hopefully starting the 2021-22 Winter Season in late Sept/early Oct.
It is unlikely that we will be holding an AGM this year - there is simply very little to report!
The committee has agreed to freeze committee post elections until next feasible annual event, when rotational elections will be held.
Waterloo membership year - Normally set for AGM/start of winter season.
It was agreed that ALL 2019-20 player registrations be automatically extended to cover 2020-21 Waterloo Pool League seasons.
