New Jersey Convention Center
Edison, New Jersey
March 13-15
$50 Donation Entry Fee
Race to Five
Single elimination
Express 9 Ball rules
Alternate breaks.
Finals: Race to Seven.
All matches will be scheduled so those attending or exhibiting at the Expo will know what time to be there for the match. Tournament charts will be put up in booth #553 beside the tournament location at 11:15am Thursday. The 1st round match should start by noon. Everyone should play once Thursday.
All entry fees and donations will go to benefit the Galilean Children’s Home.
They are located in Liberty, Kentucky and have provided help to thousands of disabled children from around the world over the last few decades.
There will be a nice trophy for the International 9 Ball Champion of Cuemakers and runner up. There will also be some cuemaking products given as prizes for the top places. But all those eliminated including even last place will still get some product samples from G2 and Mad Man Tips as a concession prize. The smallest retail value concession prize will be over $30. Our sponsors so far are Cue Man Billiard Products, G2 Tips, ICA, and Mad Man Tips. We hope to add more sponsors between now and the event.

Please let us know by phone or email that you are signing up and let us know if you plan to play or just donate. Last year several just donated and did not play which made the tournament chart a little mixed up.
If you are playing or not and want to make a donation to the Childrens Home directly just visit the link below and look at the bottom left hand corner of the page for a paypal donation link. We would like to know who all sends a donation directly so we can see how much this event helped raise for the home. Just drop us a PM or email letting us know. If you are playing send me a copy of the paid receipt. You might want to make sure you are qualified to play before donating.

Last year we had people donating more than their entry fee so we were very pleased with the final results for the first year as we raised over $1500 and hope to raise more this year. This is a great cause and a chance to have some fun, play some pool and win some great prizes.
God Bless and Happy Cue building!
