Super Billiards Expo - Info Thread

[allen_jr]

The Allen Hopkins Super Billiards expo is approaching fast! The dates are March 10-13, 2011. As usual, it will be at the Valley Forge Convention Center in King of Prussia, PA - right outside of Philly.

By now, most of you are probably familiar with the event, but if you want some info, here is our web address: www.superbilliardsexpo.com

This year, we will be featuring the Diamond Open Professional 10-Ball Championship. This event will be $20,000 added, and $20,000 guaranteed first place. The top 24 players will all get paid, all based on a full field of 64.

In addition, we will also be featuring the WPA World Artistic Pool Championships. This is a $5,000 added event, bring your family and watch these dazzling shots...

Also, this year we are bringing you the Invitational 3-Cushion Champion of Champions event, produced by Professor Q-Ball Promotions. This is a $5,000 added money event as well...

Come and play in the Amateur Players Championship 9-Ball Series, one of the largest completely open amateur events in the country. You do not need any league affiliations, there's no handicapping... Just you, the table, and your opponent. Your entry fee of $75 also gets you into the Expo for all 4 days, so come take a chance! This year we have added a Super Seniors division (which is filling quick!) for players 65 and over.

Once again, the TAP league will be bringing their annual Rally in the Valley event to the Super Billiards Expo. If you are a TAP League player, contact your operator for details or visit tapleague.com

And as usual, we will also have some of the greatest companies in the industry for you to browse and purchase from... cuemakers, cases, apparel, retailers, accessories, and more! Over 150 exhibitor spaces including members of the ACA and the ICA.

Hi Oscar, just talked to you on facebook as well.... The event will be call shot.

Sorry for my naivety, but I personally am not familiar with the nuances between the different "official" sets of rules... Waiting to hear back from my dad on what the "official" rules format is called.

 

[MexPoolPlyr]

No problem buddy. WPA rules is when you call which pocket you want the ball in. If you miss, and safe, incoming player has NO option. Must shoot.

Last year, we used "Johnny Rules" call shot. Where if you called a pocket, missed and played accidental safe, Incoming player has option to PASS the shot back.

Thats the main and Im pretty sure only difference.

Question on Practice Tables Availability at Super Billiards Expo

Hey all. I'm considering going and I would enter the $75 tourney, but I also want to play/practice outside of the scheduled tournament.

Does anyone know what it will be like in terms of being able to get on a practice table or the atmosphere for playing small money games? I would have to travel pretty far and want to get a better idea of how much pool I'd actually be able to play while I'm there.

Any info would be helpful. Thanks :smile:

 

[Poolwiz99]

Spider pig you can play pool as much as your money will allow you can play 24 hrs a day for 4 days
