Registrations cannot be accepted via WhatsApp.
This isn’t bureaucracy for bureaucracy’s sake—it’s about accountability. The registration process was agreed upon by the league’s three Finance Officers and at the EGM to ensure transparency and fairness across the board. All new registrations or changes to teams must go through the official email:
📧 Registrations@prestonanddistrictpool.com
This helps:
•     Keep a clear audit trail
•     Prevent any accusations of bias or wrongdoing
•     Spread the workload fairly across the committee
Please also note: Once you have paid for the player please ensure you email the league at the same address. Remember even if your player appears to be registered online, if you have not paid before playing  that player  you will be classed as playing an unregistered player.
