Welcome to the
Players Pool League
Calgary AB
Having fun playing pool is what we're all about - since 1992!
We are a 'Travelling - Handicapped - Cash - Sanctioned' league. What does all that mean?
Travelling - Each team selects a Home Bar where about half of their matches are played. Most are in the South and the East.
Handicapped - All games are scored on points with Team Handicaps giving every team a better chance of winning.
Cash - It's not free to play but that's why every team and every player has a great chance of winning cash prizes during both League Play and in the Playoffs.
Sanctioned - All players are registered with the CCS - Canadian Cue Sport Association giving everyone the opportunity to play in any tournament they want to - Vancouver Island's, BC's, Western's, Maritime's, Canadian's or even Las Vegas.
BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR - Check out the Intermix Division with lower Fees and a shorter schedule:
Not the Best? No problem. You don’t have to be - all play is handicapped.
Can’t play all Winter? No problem. Sessions are 12 weeks - choose the one you want.
Don’t have a team? No problem. You’re not alone - we’ll get you on one.
No place to play? No problem. There's lots to choose from.

TEAM HANDICAPS
The PPL has always had a history of being innovative in trying new things to make for a better league.
We now use the 17 point Game Scoring system.
Why? The bigger spread in player averages gives every team a better chance of winning.
No change in scoring for the game loser - one point for every ball sunk of their group.
The difference is that the combined point total for the loser and the winner must always add up to 17.
The PPL didn't invent it. Many leagues in Canada have switched over in recent years for the same reasons.
