The main event begins on Saturday in this double-elimination event with even races to 9 on the winners' side. When a player loses his/her first match, they will move to the one-loss side of the bracket and play even races to 7 from that point forward as long as they remain in the tournament. There is $1,500 in prize money added to the entries fees for the main event. Play on Saturday will continue until there are four undefeated players and four one-loss players remaining. The final 8 players will return Sunday to play for the championship. This is a true double-elimination tournament meaning a player in the finals with one-loss will need to beat the undefeated player twice (once to move them to the one-loss side and a second time to win the tournament).
There will be an opportunity to enter a Second Chance tournament on Sunday for non-pro players eliminated from the main event on Saturday. There will be $500 in prize money added to the Second Chance entry fees.

About Utica Billiards:
We are located less than 5 miles off of exit 31 of the NYS Thruway (I-90).
Our 6,600 sq ft room is a community destination for families, community groups, teens, couples and pool addicts alike! We are unapologetically alcohol-free and enjoy the eclectic mix of people and age groups that consider this their home.
The room proudly features Brunswick Gold Crown III tables with Simonis 860 cloth. We will have 10 tables in use for the tournament. We have an additional 5 7-ft tables in the main room as well as a backroom with one tight-pocket 9ft BGC, a 10-ft heated carom billiards table, a 12-ft snooker table and a Stiga 400 series ping pong table.
We offer a large array of beverages including hot coffee, tea and cocoa, iced teas, seltzers, energy drinks, sports drinks, sodas, as well as salads, sandwiches, homemade baked goods, chips, candy, nuts and other snacks. We will also offer some specials for the event.
We have a pro shop with cues, cases and a wide array of tip tools, gloves, tips, shaft care products and more.
If you need a hotel, there are many, several of which are newly constructed, along N. Genesee St almost immediately off of the exit. If you are arriving by train or bus, we are within 5 miles of the bus/train station and cabs, Ubers and Lyft should be readily available options. There is ample parking in our lot. Our building sits back from the road. If you are coming from the west on Oriskany Blvd, immediately prepare to turn left into the lot as you go through the intersection of Oriskany and Whitesboro Sts. If you are coming from the East on Oriskany Blvd, be prepared to make a right turn into our lot immediately after you pass Car Rite and M&M Hydroponics.
