We produce what has been called “The Greatest Pool Tournament in the World” at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada which in 2009 will celebrate its 33rd year!

World renowned billiard historian, author, and rules expert, Mike Shamos said about our rule book, “Official Rules of the BCA Pool League” in an article in Billiards Digest, “I have the feeling that because of their logic the BCAPL rules just may become the dominant rules of the game.”

In addition to the BCAPL nationals in Las Vegas, we produce the United States Bar Table Championships (USBTC), the Jay Swanson Memorial Tournament, which is the longest continuously running (14 years) independent event in the western section of the U.S. and the new National Championship Series (NCS).

We too are players, family members, lovers of our sport. For pool, for pool players, by pool players and while the name may be new, we are not. That is who we are and this is where we're headed, CueSports International.
