Entry Information: Entry fee $110. You must be a current USBA member to participate (membership or renewal $50/year). Please bring cash to the tournament ($110 current members or $160 new joining members.) YOU MAY PRE-REGISTER TO ENSURE A SPOT – SEE BELOW! The minimum number of players will be 5. For every 5 players entered, one will qualify for paid entry and expense money to participate in the USBA National Championship at the Tropicana in Las Vegas May 6-10. (Value = $500!) The format will be determined after all the entries have been received. Play will begin immediately after players' meeting on Saturday and will complete on Sunday.

Cash Distribution: $10 from each entry goes to the USBA as sanction fees. The remaining $100 per entry for each 5 players goes to the qualifying player(s) (actually, to the USBA for safekeeping) to be used as follows: $300 as paid entry into the national championship and $200 for expense money. Expense money will be presented to the player(s) attending the national tournament upon arrival. By rule, if any player who qualifies does not attend the nationals, the USBA will retain this money for use, at its discretion, to support the tournament. All other money and the added prize money will be awarded to the 5 or more players based on the number of entries. Prize distribution will be announced at the players' meeting.

Remember: One will qualify for the national championship for every 5 entered!

Please Note: Players at the USBA National Championship must be able to represent the United States in the World Championship Tournament. Therefore, in addition to being a current member of the USBA, a player must either be a citizen of the United States or a legal permanent resident alien of the United States.

Very nice Doug! I trust the Houston event will be a success. Is Juan coming from Dallas?
 
I have not heard from Juan... but I do hope he can join us...

Houston is a great billiards town! There are 24 Gabriels tables in the Houston area in 5 different rooms. Trish Bida has seven tables and they are busy all the time. Jimmy Vong the owner is a great guy and wants to promote more tournaments in the area. That's why he offered to add prize money... to attract more players and give even C players a chance to win something in a qualifier!
