With the season playoffs winding down, now is the time to mark your calendars for West Coast Challenge qualifiers on July 10 and July 17 at Billiard Palacade!
Individual qualifiers
On July 10 we will have qualifiers in four categories for individual players:
– All-Star, for players with season win percentages of .600 or greater. The top 5 will advance to the WCC.
– Rising Star, for players with season win percentages between .501 and .599. The top 2 will advance to the WCC.
– Star Search, for players with season win percentages below .501 and who have not participated in the WCC before. The winner will advance to the WCC. (Players under .500 who have previously participated in the WCC will play in the Rising Star bracket.)
– Women’s, for all female league members. The top 4 will advance to the WCC.
Note that these events are not just for SFPA world-beaters – everyone has a chance to earn a spot in the West Coast Challenge. All SFPA members who are not on the City Championship-winning team and had 25% participation in the Spring 2022 season are eligible to compete.
We are aiming to have a maximum of 16 players in each bracket, so if a ton of people show up we may slot players up or down a bracket to allow the tournament to finish at a reasonable time. 🙂
Hi-Lo qualifier
The Hi-Lo scotch doubles qualifier will take place on July 17. Again, all SFPA members with 25% participation who have not already qualified as a team or individual are eligible to compete.
The entry fee for each qualifier is $20. Check the interactive calendar for more information about these events and the 81st edition of the West Coast Challenge, which will take place August 11-14 at the Hyatt Regency near the SFO airport.
