ABOUT THE QBSA CLUB LEAGUES
The QBSA has a long history of the interclub competition, formally known as the Brisbane Districts Pennants, allowing our affiliate clubs to enter a team to verse other affiliates in Team vs Team Snooker and Billiards Seasons. Teams play home matches and travel for away matches at other clubs in a round-robin format, with the Top 4 teams going through to the finals.
Winning the Pennant for your club was a great honour and showed the calibre of players your club had. Moving up from the lower grades to try and play in A Grade was a common goal for players and inspired players to practice and improve. Pennant was also a great way to prepare for tournaments, and players were always in regular match play on a week to week basis.
Known now as the QBSA Club Leagues since 2020 and run by the QBSA, with the QBSA Club Leagues Sub-Committee’s assistance, we invite each club to provide feedback and suggestions throughout the year by contacting the QBSA Secretary.
Foul and a Miss – applying the rule for the amateur game
An instructional video has been produced by Adam Wyard (Certified Referee – Class 1, Examiner) for Snooker WA with the aim of giving amateur players a guide to applying the Foul and a Miss rule. The target audience is not so much for Referees, it is directed more to the players who are self-refereeing, but it is a starting point for discussion as to how the rule should be applied at the amateur level.
The 2022 QBSA Individual Billiards League will run in conjunction with the 2022 QBSA Club Snooker League later in the year.
Nomination forms and League rules will be sent out to all Affiliates and Members closer to the date.
