(N.W.P.A.), in cooperation with Olhausen Billiard Mfg., Inc., the Virginia Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America, The Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), the American Poolplayers Association (APA) and Mueller Recreational Products, will host the 2004 N.W.P.A. U.S. National Wheelchair 8-Ball and 9-Ball Championships from September 20-25, 2004. These premier events will be held at The Playing Field, 7801 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA.
The 2004 N.W.P.A. National Championships will include two separate events, utilizing different games and table sizes and running concurrently with each other throughout the week. Players will compete for more than $15,000.00 in cash and prizes. The first championship tournament will be a single elimination, 8-Ball format on 7-foot pool tables. Tournament play for this event will begin at approximately 11:00a.m. on Tuesday, September 21st. The final championship match will be held on Friday, September 24th.
The second championship tournament will be a double elimination, 9-Ball format on 9-foot pool tables. Tournament play for this event will begin at approximately 10:00a.m. on Wednesday, September 22nd. The final championship match will be held on Saturday, September 25th after 4:00p.m. This final match will be taped for future broadcasting on ESPN2. Both tournaments are “open” events, meaning that any person with a qualifying disability can register to play, provided that he/she is an active N.W.P.A. member in good standing. Qualified non-members can join the N.W.P.A. at the tournament site for a nominal fee of $10.00.
Aaron Aragon, the current reigning US National Wheelchair 9-Ball Champion, has entered to compete in these prestigious championships. Mr. Aragon, who resides in Lake Elsinore, California, will be defending his National 9-Ball Championship title against other top players from all across the United States as well as from overseas. The best wheelchair pool players from Canada, England, Ireland, Wales, Japan, and Australia are expected to join the battle to capture the U.S. National 8-Ball and 9-Ball Championship titles that are up for grabs.
Following the taping of the 9-Ball championship, a special Sponsors’ Scotch Doubles 9-Ball Challenge Match will be played, teaming the top two wheelchair players from both events with two professional women billiard players. Loree Jon Jones, representing Olhausen Billiard Manufacturing, Inc. and Vivian Villarreal, representing the American Poolplayers Association, will compete in this event, which will also be taped for future airing on ESPN2. The two wheelchair champions will represent Mueller Recreational Products during the sponsors’ challenge match.
Special recognition awards will be presented, along with a brand-new Viking Cue, to the highest overall finishing female player, quadriplegic player, youth player, newcomer player, American player, International player, APA member, and PVA member. These quality playing cues were donated to the N.W.P.A. by Viking Cues, the Official Cue sponsor of the 2004 N.W.P.A. U.S. National Wheelchair 8-Ball & 9-Ball Championships.
The N.W.P.A. will also award the player who accumulates the most overall points, according to his/her finish in both events, with an overall championship award, that will include an unique custom cue made by Parrot Cues especially for this event. In addition, the highest finishing American player will qualify for a paid entry to compete as a member of Team U.S.A. during the World Wheelchair Games, to be held in Taipei, Taiwan this December.
