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 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.

The PPL in Calgary uses the 17 point Game Scoring system. Why? The bigger spread in player averages results in bigger handicaps which gives every team a better chance of winning. For the game loser - one point for every ball of their group not on the table when the game ended. For the game winner - receives the difference between 17 and the points that the game loser got. The PPL didn't invent it. Many leagues in Canada have switched over in recent years for the same reasons.
