Bespoke club rules
Additional rules set by your club organiser.
Matches are self-refereed. Agree any foul or touching-ball decision together. Call out each break as it is made. Be fair, respectful and ready to play. Arrange the date and time with your opponent and play one match in each round. Record the match score and both players’ highest breaks. The organiser decides forfeits and walkovers.
