From registration to your first match
-
Complete league registration, including the etiquette checklist and table-time preference. We’ll help confirm your group and the next step.
-
Once your entry is confirmed, join the WhatsApp group for launch instructions. Contact support@rollerspool.com if you need help.
-
Arrange matches within the play-by deadlines. A group has a two-week lead-in before its first due match. Keep play within the first four scheduled matches so everyone progresses together.
-
Record results with the BCAPL scoring app and keep a separate score record. Report scoring issues in the group chat.
Scheduling and venues
Prioritize scheduled matches before each Sunday deadline. An unplayed match may be awarded by forfeit to the player who made a reasonable effort to arrange it. Confirm the required table size and the venue’s current rates before booking. If you cannot agree on a venue, follow the group’s agreed coin-flip procedure.
Rules and tie-breaks
Use the current BCAPL rules and your group’s launch instructions. The tie-break procedure follows below. Questions about placement, scoring or scheduling? Contact the Rollers team.
