Sanction Agreement Our league understands and agrees to the following: 1. The BCAPL sanctions leagues throughout the world. This agreement does not confer any exclusive rights or franchise areas to any league sanctioned by the BCAPL. It is a privilege, not a right, to be a BCA Pool League Operator. You must be available to the BCAPL Office and your members by phone. The BCAPL reserves the right to refuse sanction to any person or league at its sole absolute discretion for any reason. 2. Each division of your league will run at least eight (8) calendar weeks of competition. Players competing in a minimum of eight (8) full regularly scheduled league matches in the same league division over at least eight (8) calendar weeks during a sanctioned league session may be eligible to compete in singles, doubles, and team divisions of the BCAPL World Championships. NOTE: Players in singles and doubles leagues will not be eligible to form teams for BCAPL state, regional, or world events. However, players in doubles divisions may act as "substitutes" for a team from a division of the same league. 3. Leagues will submit the sanction application and fees as soon as possible, but not later than the fourth (4 TH ) week of play. The BCAPL will sanction weeks of play commencing with the 4th week of play prior to receiving the league's sanction application and may deny the league, and its players, credit for any weeks played before that date. Exceptions to this policy may be granted on a case-by-case basis. Leagues will provide new member updates monthly using the List of New/Additional BCA Pool League Players sheet along with sanction fees for all new players. Leagues must submit a completed and signed sanction application for every session. 4. If your league uses the FargoRate league management system, stats will NOT need to be submitted to the BCAPL. Leagues not using the FargoRate league management system must mail each week's stats to the BCAPL every four (4) weeks. Stats shall include the league name and date, and be broken down by team, indicating the number of weeks played and wins and losses for each team member. The BCAPL may require the use of the FargoRate league management system if stats are not submitted in a timely manner. 5. League Operators not using the FargoRate league management system must bring applicable stats to the BCAPL World Championships. If the League Operator is not coming, all Team Captains need these documents. 6. Every player must become a BCAPL sanctioned member. Your league will be responsible for payment of all membership fees even if you fail to collect them. If at the end of your session, you have a player who only played one week, we can waive the membership fee for that player upon receipt of written request. 7. Any league member planning to participate in the BCAPL World Championships must start play early enough to complete the required eight (8) weeks of play by May 31st. 8. The BCAPL highly recommends following the rules as published in the Official Rules of CueSports International which is available for download at www.playbca.com. If the league has an operations handbook governing forfeiture and rules of conduct, a copy must be sent to the BCAPL. 9. Please refer to our web site at www.playbca.com for the most recent requirements when forming teams for the BCAPL World Championships. 10. All entries for the BCAPL World Championships must be submitted according to the guidelines and deadlines posted at www.playbca.com. 11. Players competing in the BCAPL World Championships must follow all rules set by the BCAPL (i.e. rules of play, dress code, conduct, etc.). 12. The League Operator will notify the BCAPL office in writing should any player be disqualified from league play during the year. The BCAPL reserves the right to disqualify any player not in good standing from participating in BCAPL-sanctioned events. 13. A league sanctioned with another recognized league organization may sanction with the BCAPL (dual sanction) as long as it does not undermine the BCAPL league system. 14. The BCAPL reserves the right to accept or reject dual sanctioning. 15. We are not the BCA (Billiard Congress of America). We recommend the initials BCAPL or spelling out BCA Pool League within your league name. ******************************************************************************** I have read and understand the above statements, and I do agree to adhere to the rules and standards set forth in this application and in the BCA Pool League Operator s Manual.
