Details

This is a straight-to-Vegas tournament. Per national rules (see https://poolplayers.com/showdown-series/9-ball-doubles/rules/ for more details), doubles pairs must have a combined skill level of no more than 10. APA handicaps will be followed based on the skill levels of the teams facing each other. This will be a modified single elimination tournament. Signups will be accepted through midnight of February 26th, 2026, and brackets will be available electronically on February 27th, 2026. The winning team will be entered into the APA 9-Ball Doubles Championship April 26th to 27th, 2026, and receive travel assistance to Las Vegas for the event. Remember to keep your team names appropriate, but have fun with them!

All players must have at least 20 9-ball scores before March 10th, 2026, and must be on an active North Seattle APA standard format team (8-ball or 9-ball) at the time of the tournament. Winners must remain on a North Seattle APA team until they go to Vegas, or they will forfeit their entry into the tournament and the last team they knocked out of the tournament will take their place. PLEASE NOTE: GSAPA teams do NOT count toward eligibility for this tournament or for participation at the Vegas level. Entry fees cover Temple table fees for the qualifying tournament ($25 per team), as well as travel assistance to Las Vegas and entry fee for the APA 9-Ball Doubles Championship for the winning team.

Captain discounts apply for entry fees, not including table fees; each captain participating on a team receives $10 off (20% of their half of the entry fee). If two captains are playing together, the team will receive $20 off their entry fee.
