Tables - Update Dec 20
The tables will be Valley Tournament Edition with Predator Cloth and upgraded Ridgeback Rails. The Balls will also be by Aramith.
Regular Edition Predator Tables (smaller pockets) that were used last year have not been made available to our US Table Supplier by Predator this year.
We have been told that the Regular Edition tables they had in North America have all been sold (except for a sizable inventory in need of repair) and for now the new Regular Edition tables coming from Spain for Tournament Event Play are reserved by contract for BCAPL / CSI use first.
When the 'Wide Pocket' League Edition Predator tables become available in North America later in 2024, our US Table Supplier will be adding same to their permanent inventory for CCS and other Tournament use.
Rack Your Own
The CCS has adopted the Tournament Policy that the 'breaker' will rack for themselves. The opponent must be present and still has the right for a Referee to inspect the rack.
Dress Code - Update
Open toed footwear will no longer be permitted while playing an official CCS Tournament event.
Photos and Live Streaming
Who the Champions are, and live matches are of great interest to all of our members and to the pool playing public (especially family and friends).
As such, CCS reserves the right to take photos of select Entrants (especially the Champions with their Awards) and to take videos of select Matches for live streaming to the Internet and for later posting to the CCS website.
