Welcome to the Scottish Eightball Pool Federation (SEPF) website.

The SEPF was formed in 1996 and is recognsied by the World Eightball Pool Federation (WEPF) and the European Eightball Pool Federation (EEPF) as the governing body for pool in Scotland.

The SEPF runs mens, ladies and junior tour events thoughout the year and from the tour rankings, our national teams are selected and compete at international level at the World Championships, European Championships and The Home Internationals.

In 2006 Region 1 and Region 2 were introduced for the mens tour, where players from the North of Scotland would play in Region 1 and players from the South of Scotland would play in Region 2.

Region 1 and Region 2 each hold main tours and in 2010 Under 18, Under 21, Over 40 and Over 50 tours were set up. Region 2 also contests the Genesis tour for new players.

2010 saw the introduction of Region 3 in the Scottish Borders which holds the new Region 3 Borders Tour and Region 4 in Moray and The Highlands.

Non-ranking events, Scottish Singles, Scottish Open and Scottish Masters are held each year and open to anyone.

Our affiliated leagues compete in the annual Interleague event

Some of the Scotland squad have enjoyed great success while representing Scotland over the years.
Notably Sue Thompson (top right), who has dominated the womens game, picking up an impressive 10 World Ladies Singles titles so far. She will also be hoping to add to that figure in the future.

However Lynette Horsburgh (right) took Sue's title to win the World Ladies Singles in 2008 to add to the European Singles and Home Internationals Singles titles, she has previously won.

Darren Matthew (top left) from Aberdeen has been Scotlands most succesfull male player. He won 3 consecutive World Junior Singles titles from 2001 to 2003 and during the same period added 2 European Junior Singles titles and 1 Home Internationals Singles title to his collection.

Pat McCarron (left), also from Aberdeen, followed in Darrens footsteps by claiming the World Junior Singles title in 2006.
Pat then followed this up by becoming the first player to win the World Under 21 Singles title the following year in 2007.

All of the Scotland teams have enjoyed success at international level.

Scotland Ladies were World Champions in 2005, Scotlands Men were Home International champions in 2004, Scotlands Under 21's were both Home International and World Champions in 2006 and Scotland Juniors were also both Home International and World Champions in 2003.
