@ebapool
It is disappointing that a member of the European Blackball Association executive declared the organisation had no interest in maintaining a twitter account. A third party has consequently been updating this account for some 5 years with blackball news and links to EBA website articles.

@blackballme
The "Scottish Blackball" twitter account was originally intended to cover only blackball pool in Scotland. Now, with around 4000 followers, the account promotes other cue sports.
It also provides links to articles within this blog.

@scottish8ball
This is a "Scottish Pool" account supporting and promoting all pool organisations, leagues, venues and players within Scotland. However the content does include numerous links and news relating to the Scottish Pool Association and its affiliated leagues. Around 30 of these leagues have twitter accounts, although not all are regularly updated by league representatives.
