'Your Canadian Pool League Connection'

June 1 2014 to May 31 2015

What do we do? Every year, we stage Regional and National 8Ball/9Ball Championships for our Member Pool Leagues across 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 affiliated with and exclusively recognized within Canada 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 official 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 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:

*****CHAMPIONSHIPS*****

CCS Vancouver Island Championships - 2nd Year!

Based on the fantastic response to last year's 1st ever, arrangements have now been finalized for staging the 2nd.

We will be back this Fall at the beautiful Vancouver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo BC from Nov 12 - 16.

The word has spread and we're expecting more entries from elsewhere in BC and even from Alberta.

Special thanks once again to Tournament Coordinator Rose Kantor (League Operator in Courtenay BC) for all her efforts in seeing that Vancouver Island has a tournament of it's own.

CCS and CBSA Canadians - 2nd Year!

CBSA also stages Canadian Championships every year to decide who will represent Canada at the WP-BA World Championships in 8Ball, 9Ball and 10Ball - Mens and Womens Singles.

Last year, the final rounds of those Championships were combined with the CCS Canadians at the Delta Meadowvale Hotel in Mississauga ON. 

Canada's very best pool players at all levels - from amateur to professional - were all in one room, at one time and it was a huge success.

We're working hard on finalizing the details for this year in making it even more player friendly and a full announcement is expected shortly.

For those interested in playing in the CBSA Open events, go to the CBSA website at www.cbsa.ca for contact info in your area.
