There are FIVE (5) more weeks left in the Fall session. Please make sure you have all the matches you’ll need in order to qualify for any higher level tournaments as this will be the last chance to do so for Vegas 2024! Per Vegas National rules, 8 is the magic number. That means 8 in each format (8 in 8 ball and 8 in 9 ball) in any one session (Spring, Summer, or Fall). Otherwise, you can only qualify in whatever format you reached 8 matches in. Please see us if you have any questions.
We have a few tournaments coming up! Tomorrow Sat 11/11 at Slicks Fountainview, we have the final singles board for 2023. Entry is $20.00 paid on site. It will be 10 ball, double elimination, USAPL race, paper scoring. Doors open at 10 AM, tournament starts at 11 AM. The top TWO (2) will qualify for the Singles VQT. If 16+ players show up, we will qualify THREE (3)!
Singles VQT will take place 12/9 with an 1 out of 8 odds of winning the trip to Vegas in 2024. Winner will get to choose the format they wish to compete in Vegas.
It’s that time again – to host our holiday tournaments! Toys for Tots will be our charity again for this year. This will be an OPEN 8 ball SCOTCH DOUBLES tournament, taking place Sat Nov 18 at Slicks Fountainview. Entry fee (collected on site) is $50.00 per team with each player bringing a new & unopened toy – or $60.00 per team without toys (and we’ll take the $10 to buy toys for those too lazy to pick one up lol). Entry fees will 100% be put back into the pot to pay out the top 3 teams. No cap, race to 3 on winner side, and race to 2 on lower bracket. All cash donations will be spent on toys as well should anyone wish to contribute outside the tournament.
TLDR:
– Sat 11/11 – Singles 10 ball – $20.00
– Sat 11/18 – Open 8 ball Scotch Doubles – $50.00 + 2 new toys OR $60.00 + 0 toys
