International Rules were voted in at the 2023 AGM and have been adopted across the Sunday Pool League from the 2023/24 Winter League season onwards.

International Rules were adopted by the English Pool Association on 1st January 2023 as the playing rules for use in all nationally organised events.

The Rules page on the EPA website contains many documents to help explain the new ruleset, including a quick start guide, useful pictures, a booklet and A3 poster etc.

Players who have any queries regarding these rule changes should contact the League Secretary for clarification.

The League is affiliated to the English Pool Association and has two periods of competition. The Winter League currently runs with 3 divisions and also includes a team knockout competition. This is followed by the Singles and Doubles Knockout competitions. The Summer League follows where teams of all abilities compete against each other during the group stage.

The League is sponsored by Market Promotions (a local business that runs Car Boot Sales across the Midlands) and TJs Thai No.5 (a local Thai restaurant). More information can be found on the Sponsors page.

Trophies are awarded to all winners and runners-up at the annual presentation evening. See the Roll of Honour page for a full list of the current trophy holders as well as the winners from past years.

The Stafford Sunday Pool League currently has one team in the Staffordshire Inter-league competition. The Inter-league offers 2 opportunities (through League and Cup) for teams to play in the National Finals. League players can also represent the county at various levels.
