Monday Night League:
Wednesday Night League Play:
Division #3 – October 27th @ Topshots -
There are a few changes for the upcoming season. Here is a list of the upcoming changes:
1) Captains will need to give notice if they are attending a tournament on the Wednesday prior to the tournament date. We are trying to help the host location with scheduling staff for the event. This also allows us to create the draw prior to the tournament, to start matches on time, and identify any byes where teams may be required to start at a later time.
2) There was one rule clarification: “If an opponent is shooting the incorrect suit, and the opposing player does not call them before the second ball of the same suit is attempted, the current shooter continues shooting that suit going forward.”
3) We will no longer be accepting cash as a payment method. Captains are to e-transfer the teams dues no later than noon the following day (preferably the night of play). The e-mail question will be: What city do we play pool in? Answer: Edmonton . The e-mail for the transfer is: triple_e_pool_league@hotmail.com (don’t forget the underscores between the words).
4) Player registration is $20 per player for the year. Weekly dues are $100 per team. Teams that wish to pay all their yearly dues for the full season in advance can receive a discount as follows:
a) Pay in advance by October 15th and receive a $200 discount off dues. $2400 in dues owed.
b) Pay in advance by October 31st and receive a $100 discount off dues. $2500 in dues owed.
c) Note player registration is separate from the weekly dues cost.
5) For teams that desire to play in tournaments outside of our league we will be offering affiliation with the CCS (Canadian Cue Sports Association). There will still be Divisionalized play and monthly tournaments, but we will also be able to qualify for regional, national, and world championships as well. If your team decides to join the CCS membership, there is a yearly registration cost of $100 per 5 player team for the CCS membership. It is based on a team agreeing to sign-up. If your team does not want to be part of the CCS then you are not required to. The CCS has agreed to offer our league a few paid registration spots at the Westerns in Calgary, for the different league divisions. This is only for teams that are signed up.
6) The scoring system for the upcoming year will use the CSR player ratings in CompuSport. Teams must maintain a combined CSR rating of the 5 players in a match below the maximum cap for their division. This includes league play and tournament matches. The CSR maximum caps for divisions are: 8900 for Division 1, 8400 for Division 2 and 7900 for Division 3. Team captains should monitor the overall strength of your team based on the CSR rating. The boundary may be adjusted at divisionalization and mid-season to reflect the actual number of teams and comparative strength related to the CSR. An approximate guide for a 5-player team would be: CSR rating (CompuSport): Division #1 –rating range 8401-8900, Division #2- rating range 7901-8400, and Division #3- rating range 7900 & below
Although players don't know which division, they will compete in at the time they register, they can be confident they will play in a division with similarly rated opponents. The Board will review all the teams at the divisionalization cutoff and assign teams to divisions based on CSR, past history and the overall strength of the team in relation to other teams in the league. The Board can assign a team to a Division if they are close to the cut-off and may potentially exceed it during the season.
7) When calculating a new player with no CSR rating. It is calculated by using the division maximum cap divided by 5. Thus, new player CSR's:
Division 1 = 8900/5 = 1780
Division 2 = 8400/5 = 1680
Division 3 = 7900/5 = 1610
8) We are now using the CompuSport league management system of scoring. We will provide extra score sheets if teams would like to keep them for their own record. Scores must be entered and approved on the night of play.
9) Again, there will be 2 Singles tournaments this year (January and March). Both tournaments will be based on CRS ratings. The cut-off rating will be announced prior to the tournament.
10) We are hoping to offer a Youth League this winter. Our Summer Youth League was a success and gave us a start for something we wish to see expand. Again, we will follow up when the details are finalized.
11) CompuSport scoring system and App Help:
Please note that we are using the CompuSport scorekeeper system. Captains should be registered and entering their scores on the night of play.
We have attached a link to an introduction tutorial for all captains in this mailer. Captains should go to the app store and download the CompuSport app from Compusport.ca, signup, login to the CompuSport, look up Triple “E” Pool League, locate your team and assign a score keeper (there can be several). After you have completed these steps, you should be able to access your schedules and matches.
All matches must be filled out by the home team, who will complete the match, a copy is sent to the Visiting captain for approval and must be approved by 10am the following day at the latest. Stats will be updated as scoresheets are approved. If you are having concerns logging in, please contact Alex @ (780) 288-7665.

12) There are 26 weeks of play (4 weeks pre-divisionalization & 22 weeks divisionalized). Prize money is distributed to all teams. T-shirts will be given to all registrants. Don’t forget the Year-end tournament & Year-end Banquet. Trophies are distributed for division winners & 2nd place. There are also, cash awards & trophies for individual accomplishments.
2024-25 Season notes:
1) The maximum CSR caps for the upcoming season has been moved up in Division 1. Teams must maintain a combined CSR rating of the 5 players in a match below the 8900-maximum cap. This includes league play and tournament matches.
2) Captains should confer with each other at the beginning of the match and ensure the most updated CSR ratings are being used. These are available on CompuSport.
3) Any teams having discrepancies can call 780-288-7665 for clarification.
4) If there are issues with the CompuSport CSR rating, the board can contact CompuSport for any needed adjustments.
5) It is the captain's responsibility to ensure his lineup is below the 8900 CSR maximum cap.
6) If a team is found in violation of exceeding the maximum 8900 cap they will forfeit the scores of the highest scoring player that night. The player will get a zero score.
7) Both captains are responsible for clarifying this at the beginning of the match to avoid issues.
8) During a Tournament when a team decides to use a sixth player as a spare to rotate into a match, the team must use the top (highest) 5 CSR ratings to calculate the team CSR and remain below the 8750 maximum (for Division 1).
9) Any new player added during a night of play who has never played league and does not have a CSR rating will receive 1780 for the first night of play when calculating the team CSR. This is calculated by using the Division maximum cap divided by 5 players (ie. 8900/5 = 1780). Their CSR will adjust moving forward once CompuSport calculates there first night of play.
10) Any incidents involving teams that exceed the 8900 should notify our administration immediately (780-288-7665).
11) There is no maximum CSR for a team, only that they play any match (league or tournament) below the 8900 CSR maximum for Division 1, 8400 for Division 2 and 7900 for Division 3.
12) The rules are moving forward from November 19th, 2023. Any scores from previous matches will remain as is.
13) We will remind players when these rules are communicated that sportsmanship is the number one rule.

The Bob Myers Fall Classic:

Wednesday Fall Classic Tournaments:
Couple of quick updates:
1) There has been an amendment to rule 3.38 regarding frozen balls and the 45-degree angle rule. "In case of an object ball frozen to the cue ball, it is the opponent's responsibility to call a referee to determine whether or not a push shot or double hit has occurred. However, the shooter may still use the 45-degree approach for a cue ball frozen to an object ball." Revised rules will be available at the next tournament.
2) When using 5 tables at a tournament, the home team will pick the table and remain at the table for the entire match (visiting team rotates). When your opponent is available for play, start the match (ready pool).

Teams will also be allowed to sign up one new player at the tournament with League approval. There will be no handicaps for this tournament. All teams must have their dues paid in full to play in this tournament. The top 2 teams in each division will receive trophies. The tournament is called the Bob Myers Fall Classic Tournament in recognition of the work and commitment that Bob Myers made to the league.
Welcome to our 2024-2025 season. Our thirty-third Year! We hope everyone had a great summer. Let the games begin. The challenges from the past few years have forced us to address how we approach all aspects of our pool league. Here is a list of the upcoming changes:
1) We will no longer be accepting cash as a payment method. Captains are to e-transfer the teams dues no later than noon the following day (preferably the night of play). The e-mail question will be: What city do we play pool in? Answer: Edmonton . The e-mail for the transfer is: triple_e_pool_league@hotmail.com (don’t forget the underscores between the words).
2) Teams that wish to pay all their yearly dues for the full season in advance can receive a discount as follows:
Pay in advance by October 15th and receive a $200 discount off dues. $2400 in dues owed.
Pay in advance by October 31st and receive a $100 discount off dues. $2500 in dues owed.
Note player registration is separate from the weekly dues cost.
3) For teams that desire to play in tournaments outside of our league we will be offering affiliation with the CCS (Canadian Cue Sports Association). There will still be Divisionalized play and monthly tournaments, but we will also be able to qualify for regional, national, and world championships as well. If your team decides to join the CCS membership, there is a yearly registration cost of $100 per 5 player team for the CCS membership. It is based on a team agreeing to sign-up. If your team does not want to be part of the CCS then you are not required to.
4) The scoring system for the upcoming year will use the CompuSport System. We will no longer be using the LMS scoring app. This year will be a transition year from using the Fargo rate App to using the CSR rating used in CompuSport. The obvious question is how do the two player rating systems compare? The best conversion we found is:
CSR = FargoRate + 1200
or
FargoRate = CSR - 1200
This is not a 100% conversion rate but appears to be very close. In checking a player with a FargoRate of 459 they had a CSR rating of 1653, So doing the math there would appear to be about 6 FargoRate points difference (1653 – 1200 = 453). This will give teams that are following their FargoRate a good approximate rate of comparison and allow for us to convert between the two systems. Both the CSR and the FargoRate evaluation systems are player evaluation systems, which assesses players in comparison to other players throughout the world. This allows us to better evaluate the divisions, players, and teams. If any major discrepancies are noticed, please bring them to our attention, so we can review and address them.
4) Both the CSR and FargoRate evaluation systems allow us to maintain our current Division 1, 2, and 3. Team captains should monitor the overall strength of your team based on the CSR. The boundary maximum for Division 1 is 8900, as reviewed September 01. Any team going over the maximum during a league night will receive a zero score for the player deemed putting them over the limit. Teams will not be allowed to play if they are over the maximum CSR cap during tournaments. The cap maximum of 8900 will be reviewed after the Singles tournament to see if an increase is warranted due to CSR rate adjustments. A guide for a 5-player team is:
2024-25 CSR rating (CompuSport):
Division 1 – rating range 8401-8900
Division 2 - rating range 7901-8400
Division 3 - rating range 7900 & below
Although players don't know which division, they will compete in at the time they register, they can be confident they will play in a division with similarly rated opponents.
5) We have moved towards a paperless system again this year. We are now using the CompuSport league management system of scoring moving forward. We will provide extra score sheets if teams would like to keep them for their own record. Scores must be entered and approved on the night of play.
6) Again, there will be 2 Singles tournaments this year (January and March).
7) We will be offering a Youth League this August. Starting August 8th at Topshots.
8) CompuSport scoring system and App Help:
Please note that we are using the CompuSport scorekeeper system. Captains should be registered and entering their scores on the night of play.
We have attached a link to an introduction tutorial for all captains in this mailer.
