    The Inaugural 2021 NBL 10-Ball Championships - 16 Player Event with a $25,000.00 purse!

    Despite pandemic shutdowns extending longer than anyone could have anticipated, the permanent closings of pool rooms and people losing jobs, we had to have something for you all for 2021. It's a condensed version of the originally scheduled 128 player event but something is better than nothing...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    Thank you Sparkle for clarifying. Yes, in open forum, these CAN be discussed as opposed to an official website where they cannot. I know I'm long winded but there is no easy short answer. "Top 8 payouts vary between locations. Ask your local TD for details." will be added on the website. I have...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    Thank you very much for your inquiry sir. I sincerely appreciate the interest. Please, no admiration necessary. Passion for the game runs deep in all of us and I simply feel we all deserve to have a pro organization / tour to enjoy. It seems I'm the only one dumb enough to take on the venture...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    The NBL is designed to be a step up in the ladder for growing players from the juniors or APA type leagues to the various independent pro events. I'm happy to work with ALL organizations to offer events for players to enjoy. It's very nice and refreshing to see multiple organizations working...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    In the thread of my original post AND in this slanderous post insinuating ill intent, that question was answered AND sited by another member as well as myself. Can we please wager that nothing was mentioned? LOL:😉: I ask that people read things thoroughly. If still uncertain, contact your local...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    Not literally "ALL". :😄: As stated several times before, this is for an average B Class player and up. The reality is, those that just picked up a cue are NOT READY to compete at ANY level to be honest. Let them learn how to play for a while and THEN enter a level appropriate competition.

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    Haha I'm not a graphic artist or videographer. I just use simple cookie-cutter templates. I also have thick skin. I don't get offended easily. The videos are teaser trailers to grab attention and direct people to the website. At the website, interested parties click on a location and contact the...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    Results were posted right here on AZ in the news section as well as on the NBL Facebook page. I don't mind giving my personal time to intrigued players. We are a closely knit community. That makes us very unique. Easy accessibility is a good thing I think. What other sport industry can you...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    Again, I'm not looking to place blame anywhere. I already stated that the website was vague with that portion of information BUT when asked by interested parties at sign up, all were well informed and clear. I also stated that it was a simple break in communications from me, eventually to the...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    Literally can't mention the word calcutta on the main website. (Legalities) Some other terminology will be added in the near future. Perhaps "varying fundraising methods" or something.

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    (continued) My ignorance lies in the belief that the majority of players and enthusiasts are well aware of what a QUALIFIER is as opposed to a TOURNAMENT. Being in the business for over 27 years has me convinced that everyone knows the industry standards of such as well as what money is posted...

    Is the National Billiards League legit, or a scam?

    (part 1 of 2) Greetings all! I thank each and every one of you for your genuine interest in this thread as it shows your passion and love for the game in which we are all brethren. It also shows that we are ALL fed up with the crooked promoters and players that came before us in the past but...

    All new American Pro Tour! NBL - National Billiards League

    Thanks for your inquiries. All locations are subject to local pandemic restrictions. Best bet is to contact the TD for that desired location. Last word was RI a was being shut down again. Also, there were health concerns in the area as well. With the pandemic shut downs crippling business...

    What does Team USA’s Mosconi Cup future look like?

    I agree with you (as usual) on the greatness of the above mentioned tours however, many American players including established professionals shy away from entering pro events due to the fact that they are overpowered by the international competitors allowed to enter today's open events which I...

    What does Team USA’s Mosconi Cup future look like?

    Without anything in place with the proper STRUCTURE to groom and season our juniors graduating out of the BEF (like Sky, Billy, Tyler and Chris) the future looks pretty GRIM! Europe has the Eurotour bridging this gap. We have had NOTHING for almost 30 years now. This is where the NBL comes in...

    All new American Pro Tour! NBL - National Billiards League

    Thank you Scott! Despite hard and uncertain times we MUST push forward and get OUR game headed in the right direction ourselves. The government won't help us, millionaires won't invest without a viable product with a return, the Olympic committee won't consider us UNTIL WE GET ORGANIZED. Nobody...
