News

Welcome to the Reigate & Redhill District Pool League Website.
The site has been updated with a Hall of Fame spanning back to the start of the league in 1984, and an Archive with competition and league results going back several years. If and when more results are found, they will be added to the site.
2010-11 Winter League
The fixtures for the 2010-11 winter league has been posted.

Due to the loss of 5 teams this year we have changed the format to 3 divisions.
This was seen as the fairest way to give every team the opportunity to progress. Since all the teams leaving were in division 4, dropping down to division of 10 would have meant many teams recently promoted or previously safe from relegation would have been relegated.
However, if/when the league is put back to 4 divisions the relegation zone for each division could be larger than normal.  The aim is to always promote the top 2 teams. Occasionally it is the top 3 or more if teams drop out in the top divisions.
For example, if we go to 4 divisions of 10 teams, and the top 2 teams are promoted from division 1 to the premier, the bottom 5 teams (plus bye) would be relegated to make way for the promoted teams. A simillar process would apply to the rest of the divisions although the relegation zones becomes larger.
All teams should be aware of this fact so they are prepared for if/when it happens.
Although all league matches will finish only 1 week later than last year, the league competitions will finish 3 weeks later. This will affect the viability of a summer league, although we will still be able to hold summer competitions.

Competition Start Times
Please note that several of the competitions are put with a 7.30pm start time.
This is done to accommodate the possibility for matches to drag on past the venue closing time.
At some venues there is the potential for 21+ frames to be played if all matches go the distance.
If you are not able to make the venue by 7.30pm it is common courtesy to call in advance at let either the venue or the home player know.
If you are at a venue and player/s turn up late please consider the following points before disallowing them.
1) Did they call in advance.
2) Has there late arrival stopped play.
3) Reason for lateness.
Matches do not have to be played as per the order in the draw. If 2 players further down the draw are the first to arrive they can play straight away to save time.
If a point is reached where a players absence is halting play, they can then be considered out of the competition.
If the players in the league want an official time limit whereby players being late beyond a certain deadline are eliminated, please put your proposals in writing to the secretary for discussion at the AGM.
Until such time, common sense should prevail and the above guidelines should be used.

Results Cards
Please can teams fill in all parts of the results card. This includes putting the number of wins and losses for players in both teams down the left and right side of the card. If you do not know how to do it please read the Guidance Notes or ask.
Failure to fill in cards correctly will result in points being deducted, and no ranking points being given to your players.
Please also return the cards to the Limes before the Tuesday following your match. You will be deducted points for late results.
