Players Pool League - Calgary AB
1. Weekly Fee
| Division | | Player Fee | | Players-Games | | Team Fee | | (A) Advanced - 30 Week | | 25.00 | | 5 – 25 | | 125.00 | | (I) Intermix - 15 Week | | 13.00 | | 5 – 20 | | 65.00 | | (L) Ladies - 26 Week | | 20.00 | | 4 – 16 | | 80.00 |
These Weekly Fees are due the week following each match. All Divisions now have a Prize Fund Payout Schedule that provides for all Teams to receive a guaranteed Vegas Team Entry, Room Allowance and Travel Allowance.
The above weekly Fees do not include Table Fees. If a Match is played at a venue that has 'open' tables such as the Hideout, that's a bonus to the Teams. The league does not require any 'table' fees to be turned in.
To be fair to all the other Teams and to protect the Prize Fund Payouts, the full Weekly Fees are due for the full schedule even if you are short a Player for a Match, a Match is forfeited or a 'Make Up Match' is not played.
The total Weekly Fees paid to date, including any outstanding Fees, will be shown in the weekly Team Standings Report.
Teams can now view their Team Fees log to see exactly what the League has recorded as their Fees Paid To Date.
Go to 'Play - Statistics' and ask for the 'Player/Team Statistics' Report. Place the cursor over the 'Fees Paid To Date' amount for your Team and click on it. A new page will open up asking for the last 4 digits of your Captain's phone number.
The Team Fees log for your Team will then open up showing you all the detail so that you can review yourself for any discrepancies.
2. Annual Player Registration Fee
For I Intermix teams playing in a Division with a 12 week schedule the Fee is $20.
For all other Divisions playing a 26 or 30 week schedule, the Fee is $40.
There is no duplication. If you play on more than one Team, you only pay this Fee once.
The Fee is due upon the 2nd Match played by each Player in a new Session.
This Fee is waived for all Team Captains in recognition of the service they perform for their Team and the League.
For all Divisions, this includes the DUAL SANCTIONING FEES of both the CCS - Canadian Cue Sport Association and the ACS - American CueSports Alliance. For the Masters, Open and Ladies Divisions, it also includes the SANCTIONING FEES in the VNEA - Valley National Eight Ball Association.
It also includes the TEAM KIT of Scoresheets, Pre-stamped Envelopes and the Pouch.
All registered Players will have an 'R' appear beside their Name in the weekly Individual Player Statistics Report.
Only registered Players are eligible to play in any PPL PLayoff or CCS/ACS/VNEA Championship.

5. Team Suspensions/Expulsions
Any Team that forfeits Matches on two consecutive weeks or a total of three weeks during the League Schedule will be automatically suspended from further competition. Any Team may also be suspended or expelled by the Board of Governors for conduct or actions deemed harmful to the best interests of the League as a whole. This may include failure to turn in Weekly Fees.
In this event, any and all Fees paid to date and any rights to Prizes shall be forfeited in their entirety to the League. If the suspension occurs after the mid point of the League Schedule, the Prize Fund component of the Weekly Fees less any outstanding amounts, is to be returned to the active Teams at the end of League Play in a form of Sponsorship as decided by the League Operator.
