BPA chairman Godfrey Kondo said they were grateful to technology development which they intend to fully utilise to interlink the association with other sporting disciplines.
“This is one of the pilot projects that will link us with other pool associations in other countries. To talk about making ourselves known at world level might be a dream, but it is something we can achieve at regional level. We have produced a number of quality players who can now compete at any level. Through our website we also intend to share ideas with other sporting disciplines,” Kondo said.
The association has so far produced national pool champions in the form of Shylet Musondo who was crowned this year’s Carling Black Label National Pool women’s champion after beating Gweru’s Miriam Chiangakobvu 2-0 at Raylton Sports and Recreational Club in September.
Meanwhile, on the same day and venue, the BPA will also have the 2013 teams and individuals awards winning ceremony.
There are monetary prizes for the top five teams in both the premier league and the division one league while the top three teams in both leagues will also receive medals.
The winners of the 2013 Premier League Kings Sports Club are guaranteed a cool $2 000, a shield and 30 gold medals.
