| Description |
The Arbroath and District Pool League was formed back in 1979 on the back of the UK-wide interest at the time in the sport of pool. This was a natural progression from the popular explosion of televised snooker at the time. Many public houses bought into the idea and installed their own pool tables, which had previously been the domain of pool & snooker halls. The ADPL are affiliated to the Scottish Pool Association and regularly play in SPA events. In any given season there can be as many as 350 registered players playing for as much as 48 different teams. A more recent advent are player "tours" whereby individuals attend a circuit of singles events. In the last few seasons several players have participated in this scheme and at present Dave McPike is ranked as Scottish No 1 on the tour he plays on. Over the years, as the game has developed, various rule changes have come and gone. At present Arbroath have just implemented the SPA Blackball rules and these are proving to be very good at encouraging open play. Arbroath players have a long winning tradition in Tayside also, in particular the singles and doubles events. Unfortunately the Tayside Superleague has fell away, but in its heyday, Arbroath were regular winners of this. Recently Arbroath joined the 20th century when they kicked off their own website.
