General NewsHello Rio 2013! BCAPL Moves
National Championships to theRio All-Suites Hotel and CasinoOn September 23rd CueSports International (CSI) an-nounced two major changes for the BCAPL National Championships. In 2013, the “Greatest Pool Tourna-ment in the World” will move from May to July and will be moving to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The BCAPL National Championships have outgrown the space at the Riviera Hotel & Casino. The 2012 (36th) BCAPL National Championships, scheduled May 9-20, 2012, will be the last year the event will be held at the Riviera. CSI thanks the Riviera for hosting the championships for the past 18 years.
The relocation to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino is sched-uled for July 17-27, 2013. The move will allow the BCAPL to expand both the amateur nationals and CSI profes-sional tournaments.
To read the entire press release and more informa-tion about the 2013 (37th) BCAPL Nationals move to the Rio visit the Rio2013 page on the BCAPL web-site at www.playbca.com. You are also welcome to email any questions or comments about the 2013 event to: [email protected] or call the CSI office at (702) 719-7665.
Fall Marketing Tip!
GOOBLE...GOBBLEThis quarterly Marketing idea is very timely. With the Fall in the US comes Thanksgiving
and traditionally turkey, stuffing and gatheringwith family and friends. So...does your league
hold a mid-session Turkey Shoot?It is a nice break from team play,
and gives your league players an opportunity to compete
in singles events for cash and prizes.Have fun!

2nd BCAPL Southwest RegionalChampionship Bigger and Better
ORDER YOURBCAPL CUSTOM BANNER!
Four hundred entries from 11 states competed September 1-4 at the Radisson Fort McDowell Re-sort in Scottsdale, Arizona in the BCAPL Southwest Regional Championships. With an $18,550 prize fund, the event was played on Diamond 7’ Smart Tables pro-vided by Bad Boys Billiard Productions and produced by CueSports International, the parent company of the BCA Pool League.
The tournament had seven divisions in Scotch, Sin-gles and Teams. Starting Thursday, 32 teams played in the single elimination Scotch Doubles event. Arizona husband and wife team, Mike and Susan Williams took home $500 for first place. Thursday evening was a spe-cial BCAPL swimming pool party in celebration of La-bor Day Weekend. Players relaxed pool side with their friends, family and team mates under the warm Arizona summer night.
Friday morning the four singles divisions revved up. The Men’s Open Singles (which also included any women master level players) had 71 entrants. The Men’s Advanced / Master Singles division had 10 players in-cluding top area players such as: Tres “Big Daddy” Kane, Carlos Avalos, Nick DeLeon and Pete Lhotka. This year the Women’s Open Singles field (which included Women Advanced players spotting a game) grew 38% from 23 players in 2010 to 37 this year. Growing in popularity, the AZ 6 and Under Singles division fielded 66 entrants, up 47 players from 2010. This division was exclusively for Arizona (the host state) BCAPL players who had a AZ state rating 4 to 6.
Teams took center stage Saturday September 3rd. The team competitions were handicapped based on the national BCAPL rating of the fielded team members. Open players were valued at 2 points, Advanced play-ers 3 points, Master players 4 points and Grand Master 5 points. Each team fielded a 4 player roster. The player rating points were added together with a minimum 8 and maximum 12 games to win based on the team members’ individual BCAPL national rating. The Men’s / Mixed Open Team division fielded 23 and the Women’s Open Team division had 10 teams.
