Looking for some AZ help.

Joe T

Well-known member
I’m in the process of organizing some national competitions that I believe will be great for our sport and I could really use the power of AZ to do a better job of it.

I have a good opportunity to work with a major sponsor from outside our industry but they would like to see my plans worked out a little more and to see what kind of support I’m really going to get on a national level from the pool community. I totally don’t blame them at all and I am taking the steps to provide them with such things.

I have a select list of areas throughout the U.S. & Canada below and what I need from people that live in those areas is an active list of 8-12 billiard clubs in about a 50-150 mile radius. The rooms don’t have to be grand or even big but I would like it if they each had at least 8 tables. (9ft preferred but not required)

If you could take the time to email me a nice list of 8-12 rooms in your area with any additional contact info such as address, contact person who runs the leagues, lessons or tournaments or emails that would be great but the most important info is the club and city.

If you live in an area that isn’t listed but you feel you have a good selection of rooms in your area please feel free to send me the info and I’ll try to add it in there.

My email is jttenball@gmail.com and I’m really looking forward to your help. I know the list is large but if I could get just 1 of you in each area to reply it would be a tremendous help. I have all the lists and such but there’s no way they can compete with your personal input.

In return for your efforts I would like to offer you any of the following products at a discount price which will also cover the shipping cost.
$30 Racking Secrets DVDs $10
$30 New Rail Workout DVDs $10
$25 Guaranteed Improvement DVD & Book $12
$35 Aiming Workout DVDs & Book $13
$15 soon to be $20 3rd Eye & Magic Eye Stroke Trainers with DVD $8
If you’re not familiar with these products you can view them at my site JoeTucker.net
Just let me know what you would like in your email and I’ll tell you how we can take care of it.

As the list evolves I will update the areas and thank the providers.
Thanks in advance,
Joe T

Joe, I'll getcha the Winston-Salem to Raleigh list.

Maybe to show progress and aid efficiency you'll want to edit/update your OP and hi-lite the areas you get info from. Just an idea.

Good luck!

I'll take care of Bangor, Maine for you. I don't know much about the rooms from south of Bangor down to Portland, but if you don't get a response about them from anyone else I will find out for you, it should be reasonably easy. I know there are rooms where APA tournaments are held there so I can get that info for you.

The Sports Arena
Hammond Street
Bangor, ME 04401
(207) 848-2695
(over twenty 9-foot tables, decent shape)

Green Shark Billiards
294 Water Street
Gardiner, ME
(207) 582-5551
(central Maine, Augusta area. Never been there, hosts APA tournaments for that part of the state)

T Reed's Billiards
21 Winter St
Rockland, ME
207-596-7433
(don't know much about it, they send teams to regional tournaments)

(don't know much about it, they send teams to regional tournaments)

There are also a couple or smaller rooms east and north of Bangor, 30-40 miles away.

Joe, most of those areas have an APA franchise in the area & most of those have an operating website. If you contact the league operators, they can give you any & all information on any pool hall/billiard club in their territory.

More ME rooms

To add to justadub's list:

Sebago Lake Billiards‎
824 Roosevelt Trl # 10, Windham, ME 04062-5370
(207) 893-8237‎

The owner prides himself on keeping nice tables with tournament blue simonis and tight pockets. But it's a tiny place and maybe not useful for a tournament. I'm not even sure that they had 8 tables. Not a lot of rooms between tables.

Schemengee's
551 Lincoln St
Lewiston, ME 04240
(207) 777-1155
Owners: Kathy and Dave Lebel

Tables are regularly refelted but not all as level as they could be. Still, awesome atmosphere. 14 9footers.

Rack M Up
128 Center St, Auburn, ME 04210
(207) 514-7080

Tables and balls are beat but I think there's at least 10 of them. It's under new ownership, maybe he's improved things since my last visit. Has a generally run-down, about-to-go-out-of-business feel.

You went from Winterpeg Manitoba to Calgary Alberta and skipped over our
little burg of 200K, Regina Saskatchewan.
We have 3 halls in our city.
The room owners that sponsor our team are in the process of trying a few things in the future to try and get more interest going in league etc, again.
If you're interested, I'll get you contact info for them to you.
Good job.
Shark Tank Billiards but they can be reached thru the local league web site.

The site is a little out dated but contact info is good.

I only call your city Winterpeg because we trade weather back and forth frequently.
And you're almost correct on the time the city closes down.
