Three CSI Pro-Am Events on the Schedule

10/30/2017

4 Comments

 
In 2017, we introduced the CSI Charity Pro-Am and partnered with Donate Life America, a nonprofit alliance of national organizations and state teams across the U.S. committed to increasing the number of donated organs, eyes, and tissue available for transplant to save and heal lives. Several top professional players participated in a pro-am (professional-amateur) scotch doubles 8-ball tournament where each pro was paired with a league member. The event was won by former World 9-Ball Champion, Thorsten Hohmann and junior USA Pool League (USAPL) member, Michelle Jiang of Massachusetts.
 
The event was a huge success and therefore, we are conducting three of these events in 2018: Wednesday, July 25; Thursday, July 26; and Friday, July 27. A free raffle drawing will be conducted at approximately 8 p.m. each night prior to the next Pro-Am in the live-stream arena and several lucky winners will be randomly drawn. Each winner may choose one of the participating professional players not already taken as his or her partner in the scotch doubles charity tournament.
 
Raffle tickets can be received at the Donate Life America booth July 18-26 and can be earned in any or all of the following ways:
  • Receive one (1) free ticket for each division you enter
  • Receive one (1) free ticket for making a voluntary contribution to DLA
  • Receive three (3) free tickets for registering to become an organ donor

Silver Division Added for Mixed 8-Ball Teams

10/30/2017

32 Comments

 
​We are excited to announce that a new mixed 8-ball team division is being added – the Mixed 8-Ball Teams Silver Division!

Historically, there have been three mixed 8-ball team divisions offered – Platinum (3,250 team rating limit), Gold (3,000 team rating limit), and Trophy (2,750 team rating limit) divisions. Feedback from our members revealed a demand for another division with a lower team rating limit. Therefore, we are now introducing the Silver team division with a maximum team rating limit of 2,500.

In summary, here are the Mixed 8-Ball Team divisions now offered:

CSI Members No Longer Eligible to Play in BCA Pool League Divisions

10/30/2017

36 Comments

 
CSI Members are no longer eligible to participate in BCAPL divisions. League divisions are available to qualified league members only.
 
For the last several years, people who were not members of a BCAPL-sanctioned league could purchase a CSI Membership and participate in BCAPL singles and scotch doubles divisions. The purpose of that policy was to provide opportunity to people who did not have a BCA Pool League in their area. Although the policy was established with good intentions, it created a ‘bypass’ around the league system. Therefore, league divisions are now available to league members only.

CSI Singles Divisions
There are still several events available for non-league members at the BCAPL World Championships. There are three (3) events open to CSI Members – the CSI 9-Ball Singles, CSI 10-Ball Singles, and CSI 8-Ball Singles, held back-to-back, July 23-28. These divisions are non-handicapped and open to any CSI Member with a Fargo Rating of 720 or lower. League-qualified members, even those with ratings above 720, may also participate in these divisions if they choose.

BCAPL National Championships Becomes the BCAPL "World" Championships

10/30/2017

36 Comments

 
​For 41 years, the season-ending BCA Pool League (BCAPL) championship event has been called the BCAPL National Championships. For many years, that was an accurate name.

However, that is not a true reflection of what this event is today. Over the years, the BCA Pool League has sanctioned leagues from many different countries, and each year numerous countries are represented at the championship event in Las Vegas. Therefore, it is time to change the name to reflect the event’s global participation.

​The BCAPL World Championships is truly “The Greatest Pool Tournament in the World!”
