Proposal to Limit Asian Male Players per Set of 4.

To promote balanced competition and ensure fair play across all teams, we propose the introduction of a player participation limit for league matches.

Proposed Rule

Each team may field a maximum of two (2) Asian male players (including Transgender) during any set of official pool league games.

(Note: Actually, the same rules as in the Darkside Pool League where the formula is working fine)

Rationale

  • Competitive Balance:
    The skill level of Asian male players is often significantly higher, which can create uneven matchups. Limiting the number of such players helps maintain a fairer level of play across all teams.
  • Encouragement of Diversity:
    This rule encourages teams to include a mix of players—foreign and local, male and female—promoting the social and inclusive spirit of the league.
  • Improved Engagement:
    Teams will be motivated to develop all their players, ensuring everyone gets a chance to play and contribute to the results.
  • Consistency Across Matches:
    The rule provides a clear, measurable guideline that all teams can easily follow and that referees or captains can fairly monitor during match nights.

Implementation

  • The limit applies to Asian male (including Transgender) players actively participating in sets during a match (not the full team roster).
  • The team can consist of more than 2 Asian players, but during set 1 to 3 (4 games each), no more than 2 Asian players can compete. The last 3 games will consist of minimum 1 or 2 expat.  
  • Teams may register and rotate additional players, provided that no more than two Asian male players play in the same match session.

This proposal aims to maintain fair, enjoyable, and inclusive competition while preserving the friendly and social atmosphere that defines our pool league.
