2025 Winter Season Registrations Now Open

Entries are now open for the 2025 Winter Competition and can be made via PlayHQ at the following link: ACTEBA Winter Competition 2025 Registration

The Season

It will be a quick turnaround on registrations with the new season starting on Wednesday/Thursday 4th/5th June and entries will close on 29th May. Team Gradings and the Captain’s Pack will then be put together.

Any entries received after 29th May will incur a $10 late entry fee.

Life Members

If you are an ACTEBA life member, please message the Tournament Director for a discount code.

Play HQ notes:

  • You need to create an account to complete the checkout. Creating an account will also mean you don’t need to fill out your details next season/event.
  • If you have represented ACTEBA at an AEBF event in the past 5 years you must pay an additional $20 AEBF affiliation fee. This is done on Step 5 of the registration, which confusingly comes after the Fees Summary page. ACTEBA is required to ensure our members are paying the correct affiliation fees to the AEBF so if you have represented please ensure you’re paying $105 total rather than $85.
  • The AEBF affiliation fee is a single fee per calendar year so members will be required to pay it again prior to the 2026 Summer Season. Note that while you’re paying it mid-year, it is also covering the affiliation from January 1 2025 until now.

There is a huge amount of pool played across the weekend and to go this far is a massive effort and being able to still showcase high quality pool late on Sunday is absolutely wild.

A massive thanks needs to go out to Fred Johnson who pretty much lived at the German Club for the weekend and additional thanks to Vanessa for taking over duties on Sunday.
