In order to make management of our Pool playing nation easier we have split the country into different geographical areas, called Regions. From 2011, the Regions are numbered one through to eight.

It is the Region's job, primarily, to administer all aspects of Pool within their boundaries and to ensure that the wishes of their members are carried out.

There is a model regional constitution in the EPA handbook in which states that the Regional committees shall consist of three elected officers, Regional Director, Regional Treasurer and a Regional National Delegate plus delegates sent by the member County associations plus an EPRA delegate selected by the Region's referees.

To find out the exact contents of your Region's constitution, please contact your Regional Director.

Part of the administration duties for the Regions is to organise the Inter-County matches within their Region and various individual competitions.

The regional committees send two of their members, one of which is the Regional Director, to national meetings to form, along with the executive officers, the National Committee.
