First Break in Sterling had another great turnout last week with over 20 players. It was good to finally meet Andrew Manning. Thanks for the warm-up! I'll be heading there tomorrow and trying to win at least 2 matches this time!

Original Post:
JAM used to post great writeups of the weekly tournament scene and I miss being able to find all that information for the DC area. With the closing of several pool rooms in the area, I've lost track of the current tournaments.
Please post in this thread any tournaments in the area you know of. Please include the normal details (location, game, races, entry fee, start time, typical size of field, etc.). Thanks!

Are most of these still good?? I'm In the area this week. I work about 2am to 8am but want to play some in the daytime and evenings.
I went to the triple 9s tourney great little event many top players thereI've made a few updates, but not sure if all the tournaments are still going or if the rooms are still open. Always best to call the pool room to double check.
The ones I go to most regularly are the First Break tournaments in Sterling, Virginia on Thursday nights and the Champions in Frederick on every other Saturday.
I also heard there is a Saturday tournament at Triple Nines in Elkridge Maryland….I'll add the details when I find out.
