Canadian Cue Sport Association (CCS)

The CCS has now officially cancelled all five of its major annual Championships for the 2020/221 League Year due to Covid.

The good news is that the vaccines are now here and Canada will return to playing pool again, almost certainly before the Fall.

As such, the CCS will be resuming the full staging of its Championship Schedule for 2021/22. A full Summary is listed below.

Every year, we stage Regional and National 8 Ball / 9 Ball Championships for our Member Pool Leagues across Canada.

100% Canadian from our start in 2004, we've grown considerably and are now exclusively recognized by the CBSA - Canadian Billiards and Snooker Association for all Amateur Pool League Play and related Amateur Pool Championships.

They are the governing body for all Billiards competition in Canada as recognized by the World Pool-Billiard Ass'n. They are the ones who decide who represents Canada in official International competition.

The CCS is also directly affiliated with the ACS - American Cue Sports Alliance. That means that their members can come to our tournaments and our members can go to theirs.

What Championships Can We Go To?

All CCS sanctioned League Members may enter any of the following amateur Pool Championships that include Singles, Scotch Doubles and Team Events in both 8Ball and 9Ball:

CANADA - 2021/2022
