Membership is limited, and valid for 12 months.
We believe that, for the best experience, our current facilities can accommodate monthly tournaments with a maximum of 128 players.
QClub can enlist more than 128 members, as these members may not participate in the monthly tournament, but they may be able to player on the members-only snooker table, and other member benefits that we will present later.

This offer is subsidised by QMasters. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel memberships, at any time, for those who are not aligned with the business ethos of QMasters.
Any defaults in subscriptions will result in immediate cancellation of membership for the remaining term of the subscription. Membership renewal will only be considered at the end of the 12-month term, to allow other players the opportunity to join.

  • 5 frames will be played and counted as 1 match. Play 2 frames on the drawn table, then 3 frames on a table of the other discipline.
  • (eg. 2 frames on the BB table drawn, then 3 frames on the HB table).
  • Submit scores as best-of-5 and the winner goes through to next round, whilst loser goes into the loser's half of the event.
• During the competition, QClub members - even the players that are knocked out - may play/practice (for free) on the open tables allocated to the tournament.

Our Game Room offers our players the rare opportunity to play multiple disciplines in a single location.

• We acknowledge that each discipline is very different, and requires its own set of skill.
• Our tournaments aim for the best pool to be played in any tournament.
• We have included the regular options, some variations to promote different disciplines, as well as inclusive options that promote women and junior participation.
• The multi-disciplinary tournaments aim to exploit the best value for our members, by using 6HB and 6BB tables to offer more match time within a tournament.
• Our multi-discipline tournaments support the all-round cueists who can switch and thrive in cuesports.
• Our single-discipline tournaments support the most of the best, who stick to a discipline and perfect it.

• Semi-finals and finals are race-to-6. All other rounds are race-to-5.
• The tournament Director is Referee of event, and all decisions taken are final.
  No queries can be entertained after the shot or match is completed. Make sure to call the referee before the shot is played, where applicable.

The Handicap system aims to level the playing field.

1-Ball Handicaps whereby your opponent removes the last ball from the table, just before you play the Blackball:
- All Provincial players ranked higher than the No. 20th rank in any provincial category event (that means you were never ranked 20th or better)
- All Provincial Singles Knockouts from last 32 and better in all categories

- Non-Protea and non Provincial capped LDPD players who are new to the sport or not achieved Provincially or Internationally, and don't fall into the PAR or 1-Ball category.

Each new member must fill the Player Survey, detailing information about you, as a player.
Any key information omitted can lead to you being penalised within the tournament, if validated.
A player's handicap will change over time, based on the level of their game at the time at which the handicap is allocated.
Player handicaps will be reviewed on a regular basis, to be determined.
The grading system itself will be reviewed from time-to-time, to ensure that it is fair.
If you believe a player does not deserve their allocated handicap, please let us know. We need to hold the club to account, in fairness to the entire club.
Your feedback will offer further insight into your abilities, and influence the ranking system criteria to be established.
A "handicap committee", including some members, will enforce fairness.

The opponent is the one who is responsible to remove those last (1 or 2) balls before the Blackball is played.
If the player on the table forgot about their last 1 or 2 balls handicap and finds themselves snookered on the Blackball, they have to play as the table is... shem😉
If a 2-ball vs a 1-ball player, only 1 ball is removed, in favour of the 2-ball player.
If both players have a 2-ball handicap, then play as PAR players.
