I have created this 9-Ball tour to promote pool in our state. The tour will kick off in August. Dates and locations to come. Ten Stops
Top 3 From Each Spot Goes to Final Tournament. Will Draw 2 Women players to fill a 32 player field for Final Event. Final Event location TBD the room that draws the most players will get to host the Final Tournament. Entry is $75 each event including final even. $15 Green fees, $5 registration fee, and $5 going towards the final tournament. Each event will add $200 with 32 players or $400 with 64 players. If event does not get 32 there will be no added money. If each event draws 32 $1600 will be in final tournament before entries. If each event was to draw 64 players would be $3200 before Entries. Not limiting the fields and these are just what could be if we reach these number of players. The format is open 9 Ball Race to 9 Winners , Race to 7 One loss, Rack your own, Alternate break, 2 Ball Racked in back, No 3 Foul Rule, 9 does not count in any pocket on the break, and Call the 9 Ball.
