Advertise tuesday night tournaments but haven't had one in ages cause nobody has been showing up, 9 and 8 ball mini tourneys on barboxes supposedly
Main street in algonquin has an 8 ball tournament on fridays occasionally

Two weeks from then there will be a final sat tournament where one-pocket will be the game played, race to 3 and race to two on the loser's side, last one had 16 players, strong field but a great experience for anyone who enjoys playing one pocket, $75 entry fee for this one.

I really like the Thursday one at Billiard Cafe. It is $10 entry and there are some good players. Also it is a race to 4 on the winner side and a race to 3 on the loser side. If you get kicked out early, for an extra $7, you can play till close.
