AMATEUR 9-BALL PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS
Event brackets are now online - click here to see!If you think that you are a player that these guidelines may apply to, or you are just curious to see our guidelines
please read here.
Want to play in more than one event?
Players are welcome to play in more than one event at the Super Billiards Expo. Please be aware that it is possible that match times might conflict. We do our best to avoid conflicts, but it is impossible to control in events of this size and in this timeframe.If a conflict in match times does arise, you will be forced to choose one event to play and one to forfeit.
The only exception is if a player makes the final 8 players in two events. In this case, we will reschedule matches to allow the player to possibly win both events.
One of the most exciting elements of the Super Billiards Expo is the Amateur Players Championship series of tournaments!
This is our premier series of events, the Players Championship. Started in 1993, these amateur-only events have grown bigger and better every year. More than 1200 players each year, spread over 5 divisions, travel to Valley Forge to play in what has become the world's largest open amateur event. There are no league affiliations required, no handicap systems used, no teams, no qualifiers... It's just you and your abilities against your opponent. Some will win, some will lose, but everyone should have a good time, meet new friends, tell some stories, and gain experience.
In addition to the monetary payouts, winners in each division win beautiful, prestigious trophies - hand picked by Allen Hopkins. Sign up today, and come have an exciting, challenging weekend with pool enthusiasts from around the world. All events are played on only the finest equipment available: Diamond Smart BarBox Tables with Simonis 860 cloth.
There are several divisions of Amateur Player Championship events for you to play in at the Super Billiards Expo. Read below for a summary of the divisions, for more info and to sign up online, just follow the link.

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
Thanks for trying to sign up, but unfortunately we had to turn off online registration and stop accepting entries. We need time to prepare all the data, do the player draw, prepare the brackets, etc.
We do not start waiting lists, and we do not accept entries on-site. You are welcome to check in with the Tournament Director two hours before the Players Meeting to see if there are any last minute openings, but we cannot guarantee that there will be any.
You can still sign up for the Warm-Up Event at the Expo, since we can create more brackets due to the structure of this event. We will open the doors at 4pm, and allow players to sign up until 7pm. After 7pm on Wednesday, we will not take any new entries for the event.
Sorry for those of you that did not get in -- and best of luck to those of you that did!
