This Spring we've got three tournaments planned. In addition to those tournaments we will be running whichever handicapped ladders (14.1, Straight Rail Billiards, 9-Ball, 3 Cushion Billiards, and Snooker) are showing sufficient interest.
This is a tentative schedule (so please keep an eye here if you're interested in playing any of these tournaments).
Please check the specifics of the individual tournaments for information about tournament format, entry deadlines, and other information.
ACUI 9-ball QUALIFIER --
January 28 and 29.
Association of College
Unions International
(Please note that this tournament is a student only event.
See History of ACUI at Tech for info about previous outings.
Play would be weeknights and weekends as needed. If possible all play will be done on Saturday (28) and Sunday (29).
ENTRY DEADLINE is tournament day at 8:30 AM. Sign-up sheet is in the game room.
There will be a Men's Division and a Women's Division (no further breakdowns in either division). We are currently figuring the top three finishers, in each division, will qualify to go to the ACUI regional tournament in Colorado Springs this coming Spring. At the moment all costs associated with the tournament and trip must be covered by each player.
The format will depend on the number of entrants. BCA rules for 9-ball will be used. Each non-finals match will be at least best of 7. The championship match will be at least best of 9.
For more information on this tournament, (and the ACUI Regional and ACUI International tournaments) please check the BAC Tournament board in the Fidel Student Services game room.
Here are the brackets and schedule for this tournament.
Cut Throat (in
a self seeding format) --
Saturday and Sunday, March 3 and 4.
(This tournament is open to students, faculty, staff and
affiliates of New Mexico Tech.)
The entry deadline for this tournament will be 8:30 AM March 3.
It is a full two day tournament though, so please don't sign up unless you can commit both days to the tournament (missing players from a foursome really hoses this tournament).
The players' meeting will be at 9:00 am tournament day.
It's a fast paced tournament (see the Past Tournaments link for more info) that we've run many times before. Most everyone, regardless of their skill level, finds this a fun tournament to be in.
There is no entry fee or deposit for this tournament, but there may be prizes (depends on what's in the Billy Aardd's Club prize fund).
If there are more than 16 entries it would become a multi-part tournament (number of parts dependant on number of entries). If we have prizes they would be to four places in each division (number of divisions depends on number of entries) .
Here's the schedule and results for this semester's Cutthroat tournament.
7-9-8 Ball. -- "C" division
on April 14 and 15. "A" and "B" divisions on April 21 and
22.

affiliates of New Mexico Tech.)
( This is a Plaque event.)
No more than 24-players will be allowed in any division due to table and time constraints. The format of the tournament (number of games per set) may be adjusted to fit time constraints.
"C" division entry deadline is 5:30 pm Friday, April 13. The schedule will be posted in the game room by 9:00 pm that Friday. Play may start as early as 8:45am on Saturday.
