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 an advantage for players trying to make a name. The league has been home to two major professional tournaments in the past decade and many prestigious youth leagues. It is also the only professional league that has a female president.
The Billiard Congress, the oldest of all pool leagues has been around nearly two centuries. This historic organization boasts over 50,000 members. Billiards fans can expect to attend a number of national and international events over these next few years. The BCA is small enough to be able to establish a national and global presence. The BCA is a member-driven league, and there is so much more to it than meets your eye. One of the reasons BCAPL has been able to achieve this sort of longevity is the quality of service they provide their members.
