Pool (8-ball) leagues

Run your pool league.

Team pool leagues: singles lines, races to a set number of racks, and standings that total each match for you.

What is the best app to run a pool league?

For a team pool league where everyone races to the same number of racks, Beleeg works well: races, lines and standings are set up, and captains enter racks from their phones. It is free for organizers; Beleeg keeps a flat $3 when a player pays online.

If your league gives each player a different race by skill level, as APA does, Beleeg does not handle that.

Scoring

How pool scoring works in Beleeg

A match is 5 singles lines by default, from 1 to 7. Each line is a race to 5 racks of 8-ball; race to 4, race to 3 or a single rack are options.

Captains enter racks won on each line, and the other captain confirms.

Lineups

Lineups and rosters

Captains put a player on each line. You can require lines to follow a rating order and limit how far a player moves between lines.

Standings

Standings and tiebreaks

You pick how a match turns into standings points when you set up the league: a point for every line won, a point for winning the match, or a point per line plus a bonus for winning the match.

When two teams have the same points, Beleeg looks at head-to-head first, then lines won minus lines lost, then racks. You can put these in a different order in your settings.

A season, start to finish

Example: a bar league

  1. 10 teams of 5, Monday nights, two sessions a year.
  2. Each bar is a venue on the schedule.
  3. Captains enter racks won per line after the last game.
  4. The top 4 play a single-elimination playoff.

What every league gets

  • A schedule built from how many games each team plays and which nights you play. Block out a date and the season moves back instead of losing a game.
  • Captains enter scores from their phones, and the other captain confirms or disputes.
  • Divisions, and a single-elimination playoff seeded from the standings.
  • Players join with a code or register and pay online. Free for organizers; Beleeg keeps a flat $3 when a player pays online.
  • A public page with your schedule and standings.
  • Already running a league somewhere else? Send us what you have and we move it over for you.

What Beleeg does not do for pool

  • Every player on a line races to the same number. Beleeg does not handle skill-level races or APA-style team limits.
