SPECIAL
MESSAGE from the CCS Board
updated March 26
_______________________________
CCS 2020 Westerns - Calgary AB
Bad news and good news.
The bad news is that it's pretty obvious that these Championships cannot take place as scheduled from April 22 to 26.
The good news is that, virus permitting, they have been rescheduled for July 22 to 26 at the Acadia Rec Centre in Calgary AB.
Hopefully by then we'll be able to look forward to getting out and having a great tournament.

CCS
2020 Canadians
– Niagara Falls ON
These Championships have been cancelled as
of today.
Given the rapidly increasing seriousness of
the Covid 19 pandemic and the urgent need to address it in all possible ways, continuing
would have been both lunacy and irresponsible.
Postponing is just not a realistic option.
We tried but the SOTF has no available dates for the remainder of the year.
Everyone who has already paid will be
refunded in FULL in short order.
We apologize to all our members who were
looking forward to a great tourney and now face disrupted plans and even loss
of travel and lodging expense.
We truly tried and a real shame because our
entries had already risen to record levels.
Refunds are being processed as fast as possible. Slowing them down is a $2000 a day max on sending out transfers. To help speed things up, lump sums have already been sent by cheque to most of the major League Operators.
Take care everyone.
_______________________________________________________________
What do we do? Every year, we stage Regional and National 8 Ball / 9 Ball Championships for our Member Pool Leagues across Canada.
Go Canada! It's amazing what can happen when leagues band together! 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.
Who's CBSA? 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.
We also have friends across the border. The CCS is also directly affiliated with the ACS - American Cue Sports Alliance; an association just like us. 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 Championships that include Singles, Scotch Doubles and Team Events in both 8Ball and 9Ball:
CANADA

LODGING
The tournament is being held from March 17th to 21st at the 4 Star Sheraton On The Falls Hotel in Niagara Falls ON.
You can literally see the Falls from the tournament room!
The rates are $139 plus tax for Traditional View and $159 plus tax for City View; first come first serve.
We have reserved a Room Block based on last year's usage but it's best to book your room early as the Release Date is March 9, 2020.
Since the tournament is being held during the Ontario Spring Break when the demand for rooms is high, there will be no guarantee of getting the room you want after that date.
