The next installment of the BCA Champions League is gearing up for it's 4th consecutive session starting on November 10th. The league has grown with each session and now we are going to put a cap on the number of teams we have. The league has already paid out $8,000 in 2010 to the players!
With Stingers having 10 Diamond Tables, we want to make sure all players ALWAYS play on 2 tables each night, and also we don't want teams to have to schedule BYE weeks, thus drawing out the season with wasted weeks. Because of this we are limiting it to 10 teams.
As of this morning, we have 8 full teams and a handful of players that are trying to get teams together. One of the teams has 3 really strong players and they are just looking for 2 more dedicated and reliable players. Possibly 3 more so they can have a sub when needed. If you are interested, please email AZPoolScene@hotmail.com and we'll work with you and your situation on making sure you get on a team that is a good match for you.
The league is very unique, using the same rating and race format that use to run out of Alexander's back in the day (slightly modified). Teams with lower total team handicap are awarded Games on the Wire in a Race to 13 games. This unique format mimic's the true Tournament feel of playing as a team. Your total team score is what pushes you to play as a team and close out your match. In Regional, State and National events you play on the same exact equipment and you play the same exact Race Format.
It's no wonder that players that have played in this league system accounted for 1st and 3rd place in the Men's Open Division, 1st in the Masters Division, 2nd and 3rd Place of the Men's Team event at the BCA Southwest Regional Tournament this past Labor Day. In the 2008 Arizona State BCA Championship, 5 of the 6 champions were from Alexander's which also played on Diamond Tables in this Race Format.
Stinger's Bar has really come along way in showing support for the Players. They offer a Team Drink each week, Sponsorship of your Team in the league, Team Shirts for all players, 1st Place gets entry fee for the Team to Nationals ($250 value), Added Money to Mid-Season and Year-End Tournaments, Full Food Spread at the Season Ending Banquet, They have recently lowered the Diamond Table cost to $.50/game plus allow a $5 per person night rate to have the table opened for you and Best Yet, every team has a dedicated table or two to set your stuff up and comfortable seating to help cheer on your teammates. With 20 beers on Tap, and a huge menu of food this is definitely your place to play. Oh yeah, and the league pays out 100% to all the players. (Side Note: We have made arrangements to having ZERO Karaoke going on while any matches are in progress)
Don't be intimidated by the large amount of strong players, we also have many 5's and 6 rated players that are improving their game each and every week.
