The UPL is built on a "no-drama" league night. Please read the following Sportsmanship and Etiquette Rules.

  • Line of Sight and Plenty of room: Please stay clear of the shooter’s line of sight, and give your opponent the space they need to shoot their shot.

  • Table Etiquette: If it is not your turn, you should step away from the table. This includes grabbing or placing chalk—wait until your turn begins to handle the equipment.

  • No Sharking/ Respectful Play: Players should not distract, speak to, or "shark" an opponent while they are shooting or immediately after the shot. Comments or reactions should be kept to yourself during play.

  • Clock Patience: When you are keeping time, remember to call out the 10-second warning clearly and loud. The 30-second shot clock moves fast, Have patience with the designated Time Keepers. Common sense should always prevail with any clock issues.

  • Respect the House: We are guests at our partner bars. Treat the bar/wait staff with the highest level of respect. Have patience with the tables and equipment, we know it sucks when tables don't work properly or are not to the best standards, but we all play on the same equipment.
