If you already have a Pool League or are thinking of starting one, the CCS
League System wants you to join us and the 4000+ Members from coast to coast in
Canada.
While playing in a Local League is fun too, it’s even more fun and exciting for
all the Players and Teams to be able to travel somewhere else and compete in
Championships against others. The CCS offers the best run, most fun and
broadest Championship Program available across Canada today.

Every Regional Championship, besides Cash and other Prizes, offers Players and
Teams the chance to win Paid Trips to compete in the Canadian Nationals held
annually since 1996. And all the Champions at the Nationals receive Paid Return
Trips to defend their Titles. Over $300,000 to be won annually in Singles,
Scotch Doubles and Team Events.
|
|
• |
|
Every Championship is extremely well organized and well run. The Championship
Program is Web based complete with Organizers, Tournament Directors and
Referees who are second to none; anywhere.
|
Do The Players Have To Be The Best?
|
• |
|
Absolutely not. No pros are allowed in any of the Championships. All the Events
at all the Championships are also divisionalized which means that everyone has
a shot at winning a Division Title and taking home the Top Prize.
|
What Does Membership Cost?
|
• |
|
There are no League Operator Fees. When you sanction the League with CCS, all
Players on all Teams who have played more than one Match must pay a CCS League
Member Fee. The amount depends on how many Players are being sanctioned in
total as follows:
20-100 $20.00 101-250 $19.25 251-500 $18.50 501-1000 $17.75 1000+ $17.50
Every Player and Team will be eligible to enter every Championship regardless of
whether they win a Paid Trip from the League or not. Referee, Instructor and
Juniors Programs are also available.

Who Is the CCS?
|
• |
|
It’s you and everyone else that joins! The CCS is a Federally Incorporated Non
Profit Amateur Athletic Association, based in Canada. That means it is entirely
run by all the Canadian League Operators who join each year. And even better,
the money stays right here in Canada to give Canadian Pool Leagues and their
Players a 100% return on the kind of Championship Program THEY want.
|
|
• |
|
The CCS is also very proud to be exclusively recognized by the Canadian
Billiard & Snooker Association as the Official Sanctioning Body for Amateur
Pool League Play and Related Championships in Canada. That means that all the
CCS Champions are in Canada’s official Rules and Records Book; forever.
|
What Do I have To Do To Join?
|
• |
|
It’s very easy. The League Year runs from June 1st to May 31st. Anyone can be a
League Operator and any League can sanction with the CCS. There are no
exclusive ‘franchises’ and there are no restrictions on ‘Table ownership’ or
‘Table type’. Your League can be ‘In House’ or ‘Traveling’ and it doesn’t have
to be 8 Ball. Any game played on a Pool Table organized into Team play is fine.
You will need a minimum of 20 Players on at least 4 Teams who play a minimum 8
week Schedule.
|
|
• |
|
Here are the hi-lights:
| (1) |
You can pre-sanction your League on-line anytime at www.cdnqsport.com.
This is recommended so that the CCS knows to send you Championship Posters and
Brochures, etc. and can keep you informed by e-mail of current happenings.
|
| (2) |
After you have completed your 4th week of League Play, you send in a completed
Hard Copy of the League Sanction Application and Policy Agreement along with a
current copy of your League and Player Standings and the Member Fees.
|
|
|
• |
|
At that point you’re good to go. The CCS will send Member Cards and Member
Handbooks for each of your sanctioned Players. After competing in a minimum
number of Matches (varies from 4 to 8) as specified in the various CCS
Championship Brochures, all the Players and Teams are eligible to play in any
of the Championships listed above.
|
|
• |
|
Additional Players who join later can be sanctioned on a monthly basis and
updated copies of League and Player Standings are required as of 4 weeks before
any of the League Players compete in a CCS Championship.
|
Need Some Help?
|
• |
|
Just give us a call or send us an e-mail. The National Office of the CCS will
be more than happy to answer any queries you may have and to help you get
things organized.
