WPBL Season Format and Teams Announced

The WPBL will consist of twelve teams in two conferences, North and South. While the majority of the teams are located in major cities throughout the United States, Canada will compete with its own team, the Toronto Blue Sharks. The league also boasts a strong international presence, including superstars Thorsten Hohmann, Darren Appleton, Mika Immonen, Warren Kiamco, and Raj Hundal.

The locations have been chosen based on several factors, mainly the popularity of billiards in the surrounding communities, as well as the place of residence for the league's key players.

Each team is comprised of 4 players: a captain, two regulars, and an alternate.

Be it your local team or your favorite player's team, there's something to keep every fan excited about the upcoming season.

Team Jerseys are now being manufactured at the absolute highest quality available, complete with custom colored fabric, tackle twill names and numbers, and sublimated on twill logos. Team jerseys will be available for purchase in December, allowing fans to collect their favorite player jerseys.
