As the Governing Body of Amateur Pool, the American Poolplayers Association (APA) is honored to conduct the 26th Annual U.S. Amateur Championship. Since the inauguration of this event in 1994, the level of competition continues to improve year after year. Only a small percentage of the best amateur players choose to play for the glory and love of the game. Those who enter this event will experience the highest level of amateur billiard play in the United States. Therefore, the U.S. Amateur Championship is only intended for the finest amateur players. The competition will be relentless, and every match won will be well deserved. If you think you’ve got what it takes to be the next U.S. Amateur Champion, we encourage you to enter this event and find out!
It isn't a tournament where you pay your entry fee money and start playing. You pay a fee to qualify first at locations all throughout the country.
It ends up with the top 128 players in the country followed by eliminations until one player has earned the title of US Amateur Champion.
No 'wannabe's', 'think they are's', or phony 'posers' make it by a fluke to earn the title of US Amateur Champion. It's hard enough to make it to the top 128.
There is no financial reward for winning just like in golf. Some of the champions of the US Amateur Golf tournament over the years have been Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
Bobby Jones remained an amateur for life and preferred being an attorney for his living. Needless to say Palmer, Nicklaus, and Woods went on to become the most well known and greatest professional players in the history of golf.
