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.

Surrey County playing out of Hampshire.

You may or may not be aware that the Surrey County Pool Team is currently playing from a venue in Basingstoke, Hampshire.

This situation has come about due the recent closure of Rileys in Purley Way, Croydon, and the fact that the Surrey County Pool Association (SCPA) deemed all other venues within Surrey as unsuitable for various reasons.

It may also be of interest that the Surrey Open will be held on the 3rd of June at the same venue in Basingstoke, Hampshire. The same venue used by Hampshire for their open in September.

As an affiliated league to the SCPA, the Reigate and Redhill Committee would like to know the opinions of its members regarding both the County Team, Surrey Open and possibly other county run events being held in a different county, and if this will affect your decision to participate.

The benefits of affiliating to SCPA are the eligibility of its members to play Interleague, County, and Surrey run competitions (Although the open is not restricted to Surrey players).

Please send your comments to secretary@rrdpl.co.uk

The table below shows the affilated leagues and the approximate number of players and teams in each.

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 Reigate Ex-Service Club by first post the Tuesday following your match. You will be deducted points for late results.
