22.01.2022 EDPL OFFICE CLOSED DURING COVID LOCKDOWN As per the latest covid lockdown restrictions, the EDPL office will be unattended until the restrictions are lifted (..hopefully by mid September). During this time, EDPL emails will still be monitored.... (but our office phone wont be answered or diverted, so please dont leave a phone message. Anything important, please email us at [email protected], or send a message to the EDPL Facebook page). Consequently there will be no retail sales during the lockdown. We are still working towards having some sort of EDPL pool competition as soon as were permitted to play again! Best wishes to everyone, take care and stay safe!

17.01.2022 NEW TENANT IN DOWNSTAIRS OFFICE ! The new Tenant has taken over the lease of the downstairs office as of today! "WEISZ FAMILY OPTICAL" is currently fitting out downstairs, and preparing to move in shortly.... Tibor Weisz, the Optometrist, has been in a smaller building on the opposite side of Dorset Road for 48 years! He needed a bigger space, and is very happy with his new premises downstairs. This is a big achievement for EDPL, securing a long term tenant, after the downstairs office has been empty for a year, and it will certainly help the league moving forward. Thank you to all EDPL Execs and members who have assisted over the past few weeks, helping to move furniture, removing rubbish, as well as renovating & painting out in the front foyer area.

14.01.2022 Proposed changes from World Rules to Supreme Rules. We have asked all clubs to survey members regarding the proposed changes. We have informed Pool Victoria that the EDPL does not support any changes to the game we play.

14.01.2022 It is with much sadness we say goodbye to Howard "Howie" Smith, who lost a long battle with illness. R.I.P. Howie.. the pool fraternity have lost a good bloke. Howard Smith, EDPL rego # 4421, started playing EDPL in 1993 with Stamford Hotel, playing 641 Winter Season games, and 206 Summer Season Games, all with "The Stammas". Howard received his 500 Game Jacket in 2013.... Howie won the following EDPL League Trophies... * 1993 Winter - 4th Div - 3rd Best Player * 2004 Winter - 2nd Div - Best Doubles Pair (with Neil Nicoll) * 2018-19 Summer - 4th Div - 2nd Best Player Our thoughts and condolences go out to Howards family and friends, and all this club mates at the Stamford Hotel, from all at EDPL

13.01.2022 ~ RIP Howie ~ Heres a photo montage of Howard Smith, that was shown at his funeral service yesterday.

11.01.2022 AMENDED 2020 EDPL Meeting Dates. The EDPL meeting that was scheduled for 17th August will need to be POSTPONED, due to current covid-19 restrictions. At this stage we have rescheduled that Club Presidents Meeting for the week after, so Monday 24th August instead, pending restrictions.... We will notify clubs closer to that date, if the meeting needs to be postponed further, or cancelled. (social distancing will be adhered to).

11.01.2022 Good luck to all teams & players for week 1 tonight! Yay, we’re playing pool again! Good luck to all teams & players for week 1 tonight! Yay, we’re playing pool again!

11.01.2022 To anyone interested due to the current covid restrictions and the fact we cant all go to Howie Smiths funeral tomorrow between 5.30pm and 6pm Howie will be going through the Stamford hotel Carpark past the public bar for the final time. If you want to say goodbye we ask that you please adhere to the distance rules.

11.01.2022 Email received from pool Victoria regarding proposed changes from World Rules to Supreme Rules. Copy of rules and proposal are on the website news page. Dear League Committees,... We have attached a copy of the WEPF proposed change to Supreme Rules for the World Championships and also some pros and cons to the changes. At this stage the World Body is proposing that Supreme Rules be played only on the World stage at an International level. The WEPFs vision is to eventually have everyone playing with one set of rules that will help with development of the game in China and the USA and including them in our World Championships. This proposal will be voted on in August so we would like to know all our Affiliate Leagues opinions so we can give the AEBF our vote on behalf of our members. If these rules do come in, you DO NOT have to use them, if your League wants to continue playing World Rules thats fine. It would just mean that if the Supreme Rules will be played at the 2021 Australian Championships in October then we would need to be playing these rules at all 2021 State Title Events. If the Supreme Rules are voted for we will hold rule clinics for interested players and Leagues. We would love to have a response by the 31st July from your League on which way you would like us to vote at the meeting with the AEBF in August. Please be assured that you will not be made to change to Supreme Rules if this proposal in voted in at the WEPF meeting. Thank you, looking forward to your response. Kind Regards, Pool Vic Committee

There have been a few changes to some divisions points caps, & "new player" point value etc.... *(& Prem Div "New" player point value is now 21*, NOT 20). The updated Player Points Values are on the EDPL Website, now including a decimal point, so points are more accurate.
