The ADPL can announce that entries are now being taken for this season's flagship Doubles event. The entry fee, as agreed at the recent AGM, will be £10 per double.
The deadline for entries for this competition is Friday 19th January at 7.00pm. All entries must be handed into Shotz Pool and Snooker Hall on the appropriate forms for the attention of the Match Secretary or Treasurer, or handed to them in person. If Captains are dropping their entries into Shotz Pool and Snooker Hall please send the Match Secretary a text to confirm you have done so.
The event will be held on Saturday 27th January at Shotz Pool and Snooker Hall, Arbroath. Players must be registered to the ADPL to play in this event.
As per the agreement for this to be implemented, the playing format will be a round-robin group stage; playing races best of, potentially, three frames in each match. This will be dependent on entry levels and the number of groups will also be determined by this. Group winners will be joined by the best placed teams in second. Teams will be separated by frames won then frames conceded, any teams tied after this will have to face a sudden death playoff.
The group stage will play out to determine the Last 16, where the event shall become a knockout stage with matches best of five frames.
A reminder that doubles in the ADPL are played to the 'scotch doubles' format, with a stop clock on the day for matches that may be taking longer than expected.

The draw for Saturday's ADPL Doubles will take place tonight (Tuesday, 23rd January) upon completion of the league matches.
The venue will be either Station or Newgate, depending which match finishes first.
The format for Saturday, as per the AGM Proposals, will be a group phase to being. We will have eight groups of four, and each group will have two qualifiers into the Last 16 stage, where the event will be randomly drawn and become straight knockout.
The group stage will likely be races to two. Two points for each group win. Teams tied on points will separated on their head to head record.
