This is the LARGEST OPEN AMATEUR EVENT in the World! (that we know of, at least) We are proud to host this event, the largest amateur event of it’s type. An Open Amateur event that anyone can just sign up and play! No league affiliations, no handicaps, no qualifiers, no teams. Just you and your skills. All 9-Ball.
Every year, hundreds of players from around the world come to the Super Billiards Expo for a shot at winning this title. You’ll enjoy playing in this huge event in between strolling around the Expo and visiting all the vendors.
All amateur events are played on Diamond Smart Barbox (3.5’x 7′) tables with Simonis 860 Cloth, the best quality equipment in the industry.
PRIZE FUND:
$5000 GUARANTEED First Prize
Final payouts determined by total number of entrants. The final 64 players will all be paid. First place remains $5000 so that all other payouts can be increased. In the last 2 years, anyone finishing in the top 64 received $900 or more.

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, especially in the later rounds. We do our best to avoid conflicts, but it is impossible to control in events of this size and in this timeframe.
>> IMPORTANT <<
If a conflict in match times does arise, you will be forced to choose one event to play and one to forfeit. Unfortunately, we do not have the time and space to rearrange matches for players.
The Wait List Feature will allow you to signify your desire to play, and to be notified by email if a spot opens up due to cancellations. YOU MUST follow the link in the email and enroll within 48 hours to be added.
THIS LIST EXPIRES – This list is for automated online convenience only, it does not hold you at a spot at the Player’s Meeting.
All registrations and Wait Lists are cut-off one week prior to show time so that we can prepare the brackets for the event.
After that point, the Wait List expires and all last-minute changes are handled at the Player’s Meeting by the Tournament Staff.
We provide these lists so that you can check and make sure we’ve received your entry. You can also review the list of names for anyone that may be ineligible to play and then let us know.
IMPORTANT: If someone else has paid your entry, you may need to search for that person’s name. If you see their name instead of your own, please notify us so that we can get you enrolled properly.
If you do not see your name in the list and think there may be an error, please call us at (609)652-6116 or contact us here
