Hi all,

The CC Billiards Tour is a series of 8 tournaments based on Billiards (or pool) matches. Anyone can enter any of the tournaments, and this thread will serve as a grand listing of all tournaments this season, along with a standings chart listing all players over all tournaments. Winners of certain tournaments in the series plus others based on ranking throughout the season will be invited to the Championships, as well as it being open to anyone.
