Eligibility Expansion to the BCAPL Nationals Senior Divisions Announced

Mar 9, 2013

CueSports International, Henderson, Nevada (March 3, 2013) – The BCAPL (BCA Pool League) National Championships will be held July 17-27, 2013 for the first time at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada. The move allowed the producer, CueSports International (CSI), to expand the overall group of events due to the addition of approximately one third more convention space than ever available before, but CSI is also able to expand some divisions. CSI announces that the BCAPL Men’s Senior Singles, Men’s Super Senior Singles and Women’s Senior Singles will include the following eligibility changes:

MEN’S SENIOR SINGLES
A player that is senior age (55 years of age prior to the start date of an event) and also ranked as an Advanced player may participate in the Senior division but must spot an Open level player one game (6-5). Players that are senior age and rated as a Master or Grand Master are not eligible to participate in the senior’s division. They must play in their appropriately rated division.
 
MEN’S SUPER SENIOR SINGLES
Men that turn 65 years of age prior to the tournament start date are eligible to participate in the Super Senior division. Regardless of a players rating, if they are of Super Senior age they are eligible to participate. There is no handicap involved regardless of rating.
 
WOMEN’S SENIOR SINGLES
A player that is senior age (50 years of age prior to the start date of an event) and also ranked as an Advanced player may participate in the senior division but must spot an Open level player one game (5-4). Women that are senior age and rated as a Master or Grand Master are not eligible to participate in the senior division. They must play in their appropriately rated division.
 
THERE IS NO WOMEN’S SUPER SENIOR DIVISION. Women that turn 60 years of age prior to the tournament start date are eligible to participate in the Women’s Senior division regardless of player rating.
 
As in the past, any senior age player may choose to play in the Open division if they are not rated as an Advanced, Master or Grand Master.
