Hailed as the most significant cue sports event in the nation’s history, this championship aims to elevate the status of local pool by showcasing a faster-paced, more electrifying style of play.

The stakes are high, with a champion’s purse of $200,000. The runner-up will take home $150,000, while third and fourth-place finishers will collect $75,000 each. Those finishing in fifth through eighth positions will also receive $25,000 apiece, underscoring the championship’s commitment to rewarding excellence across the board.
