We are still trying to build a MINIMUM of 4 teams* to get 2 guaranteed National Slots for 2026 Masters Showdown Series Event. We are offering a Saturday Bumpers In House Division and a Sunday Steve's In House Division.

*We have 1 team, Sundays at Steve's that still needs 2 players. Please contact Lee at 256-476-6093 if interested.

The year end Qualifying tournament will take the Top 3 point teams and 1 Wildcard team from EACH division. The Vegas Qualifier will be Modified Single Elimination (as all APA Qualifier boards are) and a coin will be flipped to determine which Host Location will host this first Event (tournament will rotate after that). This is based on the CURRENT/ESTIMATED team count. The APA of North Alabama reserves the right to change should team count exceed expectations.

Bumpers Billiards is offering the following incentive to Masters Teams that MAKE it to the Vegas Qualifier but is NOT one of the team's to win Vegas Slot(s) REGARDLESS of Host Location: This is an incentive provided by the owner of Bumpers Billiards and is in no way affliated with the APA of North Alabama. Teams in the Event that DID NOT win a spot, Bumpers will have a drawing to give $1000 towards rooms to play in minis (or whatever you choose)for the selected team. The drawing winner will be responsible for finding their own rooms either through APA or on your own ($250 per player that goes if it's a 4 person team, $333 per player if it's a 3 person team). This is payable ONLY if members of the team actually go to Vegas. If the APA of North Alabama happens to receive an additional spot AFTER the event and you were the lucky drawing winner, the money is still yours. Note: This is NOT travel assistance through the APA. This is a gift from Bumpers as a thank you for playing in the Masters Divisions at any location.

For Bumpers Teams ONLY here is the following incentive: Rob Hall, owner of Bumpers Billiards, will place a $25 bounty (in the form of a Bumpers gift card) on at least a couple of players for anyone who beats them. Rob will place a $25 bounty on two random players every month. Since you play two matches each month, the first one drawn will be for the first match (ODD WEEKS) and the second one drawn for the second match (EVEN WEEKS). Bounty will be posted the day of the event before the matches start. If the person that had the bounty on them wins, then they receive the $25 gift card. If you reschedule your match and happen to be chosen for the random bounty, the bounty is null and void for that match. They are only good for matches played as originally scheduled. Random bounties will be selected prior to the day of the matches by Bumpers Staff. All Masters players can play for FREE at Bumpers EVERY Saturday until 8pm (excludes Big Event Days). Any league matches or makeup league matches will still require normal green fees.
