UPF creates competitive pathways that allow players from different backgrounds to meet on common ground.
Multiple Disciplines. Common Opportunity.
Federation competition may include 8-Ball, 9-Ball, 10-Ball, Short Rack 8-Ball, Bank Pool, Scotch Doubles, skill or class competition and other approved disciplines.
From Local Competition to a Bigger Stage
UPF can recognize qualifying competition through sanctioned leagues, direct membership programs, approved qualifiers and federation events. The long-term pathway connects local participation to regional opportunities, major events and national championship stages.
Two Complementary Ladders
UPF major events provide federation-wide individual opportunities. United Pool Leagues is the directly affiliated team-league program and can operate its own team advancement structure and annual team championships.
Competitive Integrity
Fair competition depends on accurate identities, honest results and credible competitive records. UPF standards address threats such as rating manipulation, false identities, falsified records, unauthorized substitutions, collusion, match manipulation and eligibility violations.
