New Divisions!
We are excited to announce two new team divisions & three new singles divisions. The 8-Ball Teams Iron Division will be 5-player teams with a team rating limit of 2,000. The 9-Ball Teams Silver division will be 3-player teams with a team rating limit of 1,500.
Previously, the 8-Ball Singles field of players was split into four (4) divisions, the Ladies 8-Ball Singles field of players was split into three (3) divisions, and the 9-Ball Singles field of players was split into three (3) divisions. This year, 8-Ball Singles will be split into five (5) divisions (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, & Iron), Ladies 8-Ball Singles will be split into four (4) divisions (Platinum, Gold, Silver, & Bronze), and 9-Ball Singles will be split into four (4) divisions (Platinum, Gold, Silver, & Bronze). This will help reduce the rating gaps within divisions, making them all more competitive.
This are confident this will provide more opportunity for more players.

Format Change for Singles & Scotch Doubles Divisions
Everyone should have the opportunity to play in as many divisions as possible. To do that efficiently, it’s important to complete one division before the next one begins. The end of a double elimination bracket takes too much time to complete, causes match conflicts, delays, and frustration. For example, when there are only four people remaining, it can take eight more hours to complete. To accommodate the growth of the event and still provide everyone the opportunity to play in multiple divisions, the format of all singles and doubles divisions will be slightly modified. The format will be double elimination until the prize money rounds and a single elimination final bracket.
Second Chance Divisions
Second chance divisions are planned for Fairmatch 8-Ball Singles, 9-Ball Singles, 8-Ball Singles, and 8-Ball Teams. The start times, format, and other details will be announced at the event.
Mini-Tournaments
We anticipate more than 1,100 mini-tournaments to be held during the BCA Pool League World Championships. Many different formats may be offered such as handicapped, non-handicapped, 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, etc.
