| Welcome to the Blackball Pool Community | |

We are part of a community of over one hundred pool sites of which the first appeared in the late 1990s.
You'll find that the forum and shoutbox have been re-introduced after a lengthy absence and it's again possible to register as a site member.
This is an independent web site primarily promoting blackball pool.... but we are of course happy to promote any major pool events no matter what the rules to which they are played.
You'll find that we are linked on the World Pool Association's web site and that we display blackball rules in a form suitable for download and printing.
We provide numerous services for the blackball community so please register as a site member to make the best of these..... such as free hosting and the blackball banner exchange.
Feel free to post in the forum or submit news about your blackball organisation, league or events. We will willingly publish news about all pool events and there are no restrictions whatsoever on placing non-commercial links.
