The national governing body for American pool in the UK is the BPPPA
who lay down the rules of discipline for tournament play, to which all
GB9 members must adhere to. You can download a copy
here.
In addition to the BPPPA rules of discipline all
tour members must observe the following:
-
D1 Sponsors: No GB9 member
must in any way criticise a GB9 or BPPPA sponsor or any member of
staff of a sponsoring firm. This includes comments made in private
or public including internet chat forums, verbal, written, email or
any other method. Sponsors include those mentioned on this website
here, the
BPPPA website and venues hosting events. If any player has any
concerns about any of our sponsors they must communicate these via
the Tour Committee who will investigate these concerns as
appropriate on their behalf.
Penalty for breach of rule: Disqualification from
tour stop at which the breach occurs and reported to disciplinary
committee who have the power to ban the member from all future
tour stops with no refund of tour fees.
-
D2 Tournament hosts: The rule
above applying to sponsors applies equally to firms who agree to
host our events (who are sponsors too). Players take particular
note that even public criticism of playing conditions will not be tolerated
(concerns must be expressed privately through the Tour Committee).
In addition when at tournament venues players and their guests must
always conduct themselves in a professional and courteous manner
towards venue staff and other customers. Venue facilities must be
respected at all times. Drunkenness, abusive behaviour or any
behaviour which, in the opinion of the Tour Committee, is damaging to
our sport or our relationship with our hosts will not be tolerated.
Penalty for breach of rule: Disqualification from
tour stop at which the breach occurs and reported to disciplinary
committee who have the power to ban the member from all future
tour stops with no refund of tour fees.
GB9 value the relationships with our sponsors and
hosts and take this VERY seriously. Any breaches of the above rules
will be severely dealt with.
The Tour Committee reserve the right to amend the format,
regulations, match schedule and prize structure at any time without
prior notice. However, we do not currently envisage having to make
significant changes to these proposals. If we do make any changes
we will endeavour to update this website promptly and if it is a
significant change we will also make an announcement on the
Pro9 website. |
