If you are unable to attend the newly scheduled dates, a refund may be requested and will be processed after the close of the rescheduled show. The $25 fee will be applied at the time of refund.

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.
We will not be starting any Waiting Lists for this event.
If it is full, the only way to get in is to show up at the Player’s Meeting and see if there are any last minute openings.
Occasionally people withdraw and a spot may open here online. Sometimes we’ll announce that on our facebook page. If that happens, it’s just first-come, first-served. So, check back in often and keep an eye on our facebook.
There is no need to call or email asking to get on a list – we will not start a list.
