Hi folks! It is my pleasure to announce that this year will be the 10th Annual Virginia State 9 Ball Championships! It is hard to believe that 10 years has passed since I decided to run an event to showcase the best players the Commonwealth of Virginia has to offer.
Due to some work constraints early this year, I have had to delay the event this year to September 14-15. But while I am delaying the event, I am also adding to it.
Last year, we had 64 men and women participate in the field. At the same time, there were 8 additional men on the waiting list. I decided to include them in the field which gave us 64 men and 8 women. It allowed me to pull $500 out of the prize fund and send the top female finisher to the U.S. Open 9 Ball Championships as well as the top 2 Male Finishers. With last years event being as successful as it was in this fashion, I have decided to do the same this year! The field will be open to 64 men and 8 women! If we have a full field of 64 men and 8 women, the top 2 male players and the top female finisher, will have paid entry into the 2013 U.S. Open 9 Ball Championships!
The event will be held, once again, at Diamond Billiards in Midlothian, VA! I cannot say enough about The Dorsey Family and their poolroom. It is a beautiful place and they are always looking at ways to keep their poolroom relevant to new and existing customers. They have graciously added the $1000 for the 2 U.S. Open spots for this year's event again! I think we can all agree that the pool industry has taken a hit over the last few years, but I can always count on Diamond Billiards to come with the cash!
Here are the details for this years event:

One of my goals is to have as many of my previous champions play this year as possible. I have reached out to a few and there are some conflicting schedules and I will miss them dearly at the event this years. To my other previous champions, I hope to see at the tournament!
I am trying to secure additional sponsors to help make this event a little more lucrative for the players. As I have more information to pass along, I will update it here and on other pool and billiard websites
I look forward to seeing all my old friends from around the state and meeting some new friends as well.
Sign ups for the 10th Annual Virginia State 9 Ball Championships are officially open!
