All tournament play is on Valley “Bar Box” tables and Championship Cloth
We would like to Welcome Sterling Gaming and Leonard Bludworth who will be the only exhibitors for this event. We have decided that “too many cooks spoil the broth” so Bludworth will be there for cue repair and Sterling Gaming will be there for ALL your other pool related merchandise. There will be raffles and contests for you to participate in and loads of prizes
As some of you know, The Derby City Classic begins the same weekend that our event runs. The ONLY thing that will coincide will be their Bank Tournament. So, we have elected to schedule a BANK tournament that you can participate in BEFORE the Classic begins.
Welcome again to all! We are looking forward to seeing you and hope that you enjoy yourself.
Good Luck and Good Shooting!
