Field Size being determined now. Either 64 or 128 with 128 being the favored number. Just have to check the logistics.

The event will have a single streaming table with commentary. Multi-table streams have a price tag that would reduce the prize fund. Not set in stone but the entry fees for the five small events will probably be $250 per event and the Grand Championship will probably be $500 entry. These are...

We were told we could run the W8B for this year. But that would make no sense, to begin a tournament that you could not continue to grow, so we will make new plans for a new event. Who knows, the other promoter could still try to put one on this year, I do not know.

In our desire to be good stewards of the game the organizing committee for the 2016 Toronto World 8-Ball Tournament are announcing the cancellation of that event. After awarding the event to Toronto for 2016 the WPA received an offer from a promoter in China to hold a World 8-Ball Tournament for...

Vivian is more than welcome to use our forums to promote this great event. We love players who "do" rather than just "discuss". Viv makes things happen!

I am always amazed at how folks can draw conclusions without knowing any facts behind the conclusion. So ? + ? = ! Hopkins does not force anyone through those doors. They go there willingly. Before anyone says something wrong, Allen has never advertised with AZB. I have no financial motive...

It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of Conrad Burkman, the Publisher of The National Billiard News. Please see the story on our front page. Conrad and I traveled together to events all over America as well as Europe and Asia. Please forgive me, I will not continue right now...

Don't worry. We will be back next year.

It is very simple, really. We have sponsors who have a vested interest in promoting the game in North America. The money is not appearing by magic. We will announce the sponsors list shortly. This is the biggest pool to hit the America's in quite a while and companies are eager to be a part of...

No, it was a mind fart. There have actually been two different World events in NA that I failed to remember. One was a low-budget women's event and the other was the low-budget 14.1 stuff. This event is rich enough to be remembered. And it will be conducted professionally. We will not have...

The World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA) is pleased to announce the new WPA World 8-Ball Championship will take place at The Corner Bank in Toronto, Canada this coming August. Tentatively scheduled for mid month, the exact dates will be announced very shortly. This will be the first World...

Mark redid my Anniversary a few years ago and it still shines like a new diamond and plays fantastic. I heartily recommend his work.

Reasons to go Gold. I think the monthly prizes are not the reason for being a Gold member. My first reason would be that you can then view the vast library of National Billiard News that go all the way back to 1964. Reading about all the old players when they were in their prime is a lot of...

We now have the winners of the Poison Holiday Cheer Cue Giveaway for AZB Gold members. Our first-Place winner is Blue Hog Ridr. Blue wins the Strychnine ST-4 Cuestick with a 314-3 shaft. Strychnine-4 cues are inspired by the bold designs and materials used in the super cars of the late 60’s and...

We have requested this info from Matchroom but do not as yet have a schedule of when it will be received. Matchroom wishes to have enough events in all parts of the country that players can qualify without incurring a lot of travel costs.

Whenever folks ask me why pool goes nowhere I think of threads like this. NASCAR fans support their sponsors. They use Tide detergent and eat M&M's because those products promote the sport. Pool fans want whatever is cheapest. Screw the companies that attempt to grow the game. I understand...
