At this year's U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships we will do something different.



There will be an 8-man One-Pocket Invitational Tournament and an 8-man Banks Tournament running concurrently with the 9-Ball Championships.



The One-Pocket event will consist of races to 4 and the Banks will be races to 5.



100% of the $500 entry fee will be be paid out in prize money.

Pat Fleming, the producer, will also add $1000 to the prize fund for each event.



The dates for the 2017 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships are October 22-28 in Norfolk, Virginia.



Here's the link for entries and tickets:

I honestly don't know how I feel about this. My initial reaction is it's a bad idea.

You're asking a handful of players to take away their focus on playing in arguably the most prestigious event in America to win a fraction of what could be won in the 9 ball.

I'm wondering is this is being done to fill the void of not having the BCA hall of fame event this year ? is it going to be in that same smaller hall area ?

I hadn't heard about this. Any idea why no BCA Hall of Fame event this year? Are there still going to be inductees this year?
