During the Presidents Secretaries Meeting (PSM) of Railway Sports Promotion Board, held at Rail Bhawan on 08.05.2017, the house was informed that Eight (08) ball format has since been discontinued from the National championship and 06 (Six) Red Ball has been introduced. According, the House decided that the same should be followed by RSPB.

The proposal has accordingly been examined in Railway Board and it has been decided that the performance of sportspersons in ‘6 Red Snooker’ instead of ‘8 Ball Pool’ shall be considered for recruitment and incentive purposes as per the provisions of Board’s policy letter dated 31.12.2010.
