Pool Rules

The rules originate from those of our sanctioning body, the Valley National 8-Ball Association (VNEA).

2020 UPDATE FROM VNEA: Each year, new and veteran players alike have questions on some of the rules that are difficult to understand or verbally explain. Therefore, VNEA has produced a number of videos for you to help eliminate calls and arguments and to visually clarify the most common rules questions. Please click to view VNEA’s Rules Clarification Videos.

Pool Sanctioning

AAA Pool League Players are currently sanctioned through the VNEA, a non-profit organization established to promote the game of pool on coin-operated equipment. Our league players have the opportunity to be eligible to participate in regional and national tournaments. BCA, MPA, and ACS sanctioning also available.

AAA offers Traveling or In-House Leagues. Traveling Leagues play at their home location half of the time and are away for the other half. In-House Leagues always play at their home location.

When joining a Traveling League, you have several choices, which are:
⦁    The season in which you would like to play – we divide our pool league year into two seasons: Fall/Winter and Summer.
⦁    The day you play – we currently offer leagues on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

For In-House Leagues, the bar usually makes these decisions.
