Two locations - split by skill level. Hard Times Billiards for SL 5+ and Jointed Cue for SL 4 and below. If you fit one category in 8-Ball and the other in 9-Ball, you're going to have to choose.
We'll be offering 8-Ball and 9-Ball at both locations as demand dictates. As with most singles qualifiers, do NOT expect it to be done in two hours. Singles qualifiers take time. The tournament director at each location will use their discretion re: allowing crossover play (people playing both 8 and 9-Ball) based on numerous factors including how many people show up and how the brackets fill up.
We're well aware that going full Leroy Jenkins on crossover play makes for a very long day and will most likely not allow or minimize it. I CANNOT predict how that will play out. It's sometimes the case the even if we don't allow full crossover, we might pick a person or two to help get the minimum for a bracket or something. Doors open and signups start at NOON at both locations.Signups CLOSE at 12:30 both locations. We do our best to stay strict with this, so don't give us attitude if we turn you away. We need to get the tournaments rolling... and last minute adds and bracket changes disrupt things more often than not.
If you are late and HAPPEN to fill a bye or enable us to do something to the benefit of everyone (like enable a new bracket so more people can qualify) you might get lucky, but don't expect it.
Most likely cost will be $40 for a double elimination bracket - two chances at qualifying. There are certain situations that might pop up that change the price, but it's best to count on $40.
You MUST be active on a Sacramento APA team in the current (Spring) Session in the same format to be eligible. You MUST have played at least 10 matches in the last two years to be eligible (again, same format).
This qualifier feeds the FALL Regional. If you're already qualified, please don't enter. We'll do our best to catch any/all of the above, but part of this is your responsibility too! It's VERY hectic in the first hour of a qualifier getting things figured out and rolling.
Good luck!
