APA 9-Ball Doubles League Second Chance: Saturday, February 1st

When: Saturday, February 1st Registration @ 10am and Play begins @ 11am Where: Breaktime Billiards Players must be from the CCAPA area. Skill Level Max per team: 10 Players cannot be Wheelchair or 8-Ball Classic Singles participants in Vegas. How it works: Good news! The 9-ball Doubles League ended up with enough teams in 2019, so our area was awarded 2 spots for the Doubles Championship in Vegas this year. Because of this, we are doing a onetime extra 9-ball Doubles Qualifier for Vegas. This is a onetime event. In the future, as long as we have a doubles league in this format and with enough teams to get 2 slots, both will go to the 9-ball Doubles league, similar to our 8-ball doubles format and league. 1st Stage: 4 rounds will be played in the 32 team modified single bracket, which will produce 8 teams. 2nd Stage: The 8 teams will then be randomly drawn into a 16 team modified bracket where the 8 teams from the 9-ball league will be waiting. This will end up being 10 rounds all together, and will be played in one day. Winner goes to Las Vegas. The 7 top finishing teams who did not win the Vegas spot in the league playoffs at Bubba's are invited back (along with a WC from the playoff tournament) with no entry fee, as long as the players are active in some form of 9-ball – Open or Doubles – and are SL 10 MAX combined at the time of the tournament. The 8 pre-qualified teams are: NOT IT EVERYBODY WINS WITH BROTHERS SHOT TAKERS – JOHN & CRYSTAL LISA'S TEAM EVERYBODY WINS WITH TJ RIZZO'S TEAM BUBBA'S 9ERS AND SHINERS - LIZ & JEN RASCALS - BRUCE & JOHN (WC) Entry Fee Entry Fee is $50/team, 100% payback toward travel expenses for winning team and entry fee in Vegas is paid. (Max $599/person) Any monies left over will go to the runner up team in the tournament. Tournament is open to all active 9-ball players, as it has been in the past. League players and 9-ball regular division players are invited to play, as long as players are on any current 9-ball team (standard or doubles) and have a minimum of 10 9-ball matches played and entered in the system in the past 2 years. IMPORTANT! Players who go to Vegas MUST have 20 singles 9-ball matches in the past 2 years by March 15! Skill Level max is 10 at time of event for all teams. ONLINE REGISTRATION ONLY!
