Once a hotbed of snooker related activities and original home of the United States Snooker Association, the Chicago area has become a virtual desert in the snooker world. Providing an oasis for enthusiasts, the ACES Snooker Club in northwest suburban Crystal Lake, IL is proud to announce the formation of a fall/winter snooker league to culminate in a Club Championship Tournament in the spring. With this inaugural season, the ASC hopes to rekindle awareness of and enthusiasm for the sport we love in Chicago and surrounding areas.
The ASC is a private club accessible only to members and their guests, but membership is hardly exclusive, the only requirement being a true passion for this great pastime. The ASC boasts the finest publicly available, full sized snooker table likely to be found, playing as near as possible to proper WPBSA and IBSF specification, with all necessary ancillary equipment included. The table is currently undergoing complete renovation to further enhance its playing characteristics in preparation for utopian league play. Loaner cues and instructional materials are also available for newcomers.
The upcoming league will only be available to ACES Snooker Club members, and prospective members must be vetted and approved for membership prior to November 4, 2012 which is the final date for entrants to sign up for the league play, no exceptions.
While the ASC is a private club, we welcome any and all snooker enthusiasts into our abode as treasured guests. Any forum readers who may travel through the Chicago area are welcome to stop in for a frame or two. If you may be interested in joining us for an afternoon or a lifetime, contact information can be found at the club website:

ASC club members are citizens of the world, thus far with members who originate from various countries on three different continents, and members who reside and travel from as far away as Madison, Wisconsin to play on this fine equipment.
