World Eightball Pool Federation

WEPF competes for authority and membership with the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA), which oversees its own tournaments and slightly different rules under the name blackball.

WEPF events are held principally in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth of Nations.

The WEPF was established in 1992 by founding member countries Australia, England, and New Zealand.

The governing body runs its own world championships, separate from those held by the WPA.

19 Member nations:[1] The WEPF World Eightball Pool Championship (sometimes branded the Foster's World Eightball Pool Championship for sponsorship purposes) is held annually, and features open, women's, and juniors' divisions.
