Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the difficulty it has placed on our leagues, the minimum eligibility requirements have been revised. To be eligible, players must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Had a 2020 BCA Pool League membership and played at least four (4) weeks in a single division session during the 2020 calendar year; or…
- Have a 2021 BCA Pool League membership and play at least four (4) weeks in a single division session between Jan 1, 2021 and the registration deadline of Aug 2, 2021; or...
- Live in an "impacted region" and have a current CSI membership. An "impacted region" is any region in which leagues have not been allowed to begin or have been mandated to operate at a reduced capacity by state or local Government.
Original player requirement eliminated
In the past, most 8-ball team divisions have required at least two (2) players from the same league team be on the team and play each round. That "orginal player" requirement is being eliminated for 2021. Teammates for the Platinum, Gold, Silver & Bronze divisions only need to be from the same league. For teams from “impacted regions,” all teammates must reside within an approximate radius of 25-miles (40-kilometers).

Scotch doubles can be male/male, male/female or female/female
Although this was introduced in 2020, it’s important to highlight it once again. Scotch doubles teams may consist of male/male, male/female or female/female.

CSI Team division added
For those who don’t have the opportunity to join a BCA Pool League, especially teams from other leagues such as VNEA, ACS, TAP, APA, etc., we have added the CSI 8-Ball Team division. Although players must be CSI members ($40/year), the entry fee is greater than the BCA Pool League divisions and there is no added money, this division does allow everyone to experience team play at the CueSports International Expo. To compete in the larger BCA Pool League divisions with larger prize money and lower entry fees, encourage your League Operator to make your league a member of the BCA Pool League.
