NH Billiards League

Welcome to the
   New Hampshire Billiards League    Fall 2023 Session

    New Hampshire Billiards League and the BCAPL Pool League would like to welcome all the players to our Traveling 8-Ball League.  Remember that the first objective of this league is FUN - so please act accordingly.

You will find the schedule for the fall 2023  session along with the current averages and NHBL rules on this site. All BCAPL rules apply UNLESS superseded by a NHBL local rule.

Everyone must pay $10 NHBL dues this session.  Members who played in the spring 2023 session do NOT need to pay BCA dues - all others are required by BCA to pay $20, even if you play in another BCA league.  The weekly league fee is still $32.00 per team, even if only 3 players show up or your team forfeits.  Teams with a bye do NOT pay that week, and no points are awarded.

The league statistician will compute individual handicaps for the session. Your handicap from the last session for which we have an average will carry over for the first week and will blend in the first 4 weeks you play. New players to this league that have an established handicap in another BCA league will start with the average from that league when possible, and brand new players will be a 7 handicap for the first week and will be blended in the for the first 4 weeks of play.

Please fill out your score sheet completely. First names and last initials of the players and the team name are required each week. Please indicate in the space provided at the bottom of the score sheet, who paid what amount each week. Filling out the score sheet completely will make it much easier to keep track of stats and ensure that there are no mistakes. If you have any questions about the score sheet feel free to ask me. 

PLEASE NOTE... When you sign your paperwork you are agreeing that your paperwork AND your opponents’ paperwork is correct.  I am still seeing discrepancies between score sheets that have been signed.  If I have to decide which score sheet is correct, you will NOT like my decision.

If a team cannot make it for a match, please contact the opposing team captain to try to make up the match.  Missed matches MUST be played within 2 weeks of the original scheduled match. If the match cannot be made up, the team that showed up gets 16 wins and 5 points.  Individual players are NOT awarded any wins, losses or points. Both teams, including the team that didn’t show up still must pay their weekly dues. Failure to pay your weekly dues will result in your team not being allowed to compete in the tournaments and you forfeit cash awards. It’s not fair to the other teams if you don’t pay your share.

Captains, it is your responsibility to contact your team members to let them know where they are playing this week.  I will be emailing a few of you individually with your team info sheets – please fill in the missing information and include with your paperwork.

Once again we thank all of you who are participating in this session of New Hampshire Billiards League / BCA Pool League.  Good Luck!
