The contest was free to enter, […]

His 10-year climb up the AZBilliards’ Money Leaderboard has been steady since it got underway in May, 2015. On Memorial Day weekend that year, Connecticut’s Lukas Fracasso-Verner (LFV), at the age of 14, finished 7th in the Amateur event of the 5th Annual George “Ginky” Sansouci Memorial at Steinway Billiards in Queens. For the next […]

Not only is 15-year-old Savannah “Roadrunner” Easton, from Las Vegas, a demonstrably good pool player, she is also being supported by a combination of family and industry sponsors that have her marketing presence front, center and from all sides of the social media world. She’s on Facebook, has her own YouTube channel, and offers playing […]

Jeremy Sossei’s nickname, indicated in his AZBilliard’s profile (“Giant Killer”) may have emerged from his very first year of recording his cash wins into our database.

The little kid from Bansud, Oriental Mindoro, has conquered the world. The Barangay Kaunlaran, Cubao, Quezon City resident Jonas Ruga Magpantay has waited patiently for this—his chance to shine, the reward for all his sacrifices, and the culmination of a journey that started over two decades ago. Two decades. The wait was worth it. The […]

Ken Chim (612) wins his FIRST Mezz LA 9 Ball Series tournament, defeating Daniel Martinez (540) hill-hill 8-6 in a single 8/7 final match! This was Ken’s second finals in a row (he and Jamal Oussi split Stop 18), and Daniel’s third finals since September (Daniel lost hill-hill to Shahdad at Stop #17, and defeated […]

Players advance on the winners’ side of a double-elimination bracket in a pool tournament, one match at a time, accompanied by a growing confidence and a more intangible sense of momentum. That confidence and momentum has a way of manifesting itself in a wide variety of scoring results. Some players start out with a ‘bang,’ […]

Regional tours have always acted as a feeder system to more professional competition. For women in the United States, the road to the professional arenas has always been from amateur leagues, to regional tours and on to the Women’s Professional Billiards Association from where, if you get that far, women can move onto international stages. […]

We assumed, (somewhat) reasonably enough, that when Jeremy Sossei won Stops #2, #4 and #6 on the ‘25/’26 Joss NE 9-Ball Tour, that he’d be offering someone else the opportunity to claim the 7th title of the season.
