The Valley National 8 Ball League Association, one of the largest amateur pool leagues in the world, has nearly 100,000 members and more than 10,000 venues across 36 US states. Their most notable claim to fame is their well-known name. This is great for players wanting to make their mark. In the past decade the league has spawned two major professional tournaments and several prestigious youth leagues. It also has the only female president in professional sports.
The Billiard Congress of American is the most renowned pool league. It has been in existence for over two centuries. The venerable Billiard Congress of America has over 50,000 members. This means that billiards enthusiasts can look forward to a variety of international and national events in the coming years. For a small company such as the BCA, it is not easy to have a global presence. The association is a member-driven organisation, so there's more to it than meets the eye. One of the reasons BCAPL has been able to achieve this sort of longevity is the quality of service they provide their members.
