| Since 1st January 1998, the EPA has adopted the playing rules of the World Eight ball Pool Federation (hereafter referred to as "WORLD RULES") for use in all nationally organised events. Individual leagues are of course, still entitled to use any rules they wish to play. If they league wants to use World Rules they can do so. Similarly, if the league want to use rules such as the black to be played left-handed with both eyes shut, that too is OK (it might make the games go on a bit longer though!). All national competitions will, however, be played to World Rules.
Darwen Pool Association play the old EPA Rules, but have a slightly modified version of the break. Game Rules
Monday League RulesIf you require additional results cards please click here. World Eight ball Pool FederationFor those wishing to try, a link to World Rules has been included. This contains all the standard rules of the WEPF. We have links to two additional pages, The Referees Guidance Notes explain how to interpret the rules in certain situations. There are also the English Pool Referees Calling Procedures which explains that various calls that should be made during a game. Some of you will be very new to World Rules or are perhaps a little unclear on a few things, so we now have some graphical explanation of some of the basics of the game. The EPA have a very useful section on Snookers, produced by Roy Slater, describing the various snooker situations that can occur. And finally, the EPA have an excellent Introduction to World Rules produced by Sean Goodman which covers a few of the basics of World Rules. Please note that the Introduction requires downloading of the Flash 5 Plug-in, if you do not already have it installed.
