Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour 2019-2020 Season Schedule

Jun 25, 2019


Players & Fans,I am very proud to announce my Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour's upcoming 2019-2020 season schedule. This new season will mark our 23rd consecutive year in business! I estimate that we have held over 450 regular season events, as well as 40+ major industry events. This season will be no exception as I have already scheduled the $25,000 added Turning Stone Classic XXXIII 9-Ball Open for January 9-12, 2020 and a second Turning Stone event is currently in negotiations for the Summer of 2020. Our 4th "Joss Junior 9-Ball Championship" tournament will be held on January 25, 2020 at Sharp Shooters Billiards & Sports Pub in Amsterdam NY with 2 divisions, 18 & under and 12 & under. No cash will be awarded but there will be many valuable gifts and prizes for the youngsters. We are always open to any donations for this event for the new generation of our game. All donated items will go directly to the participants. If interested in making any kind of donation, please contact Mike Zuglan at 518-356-7163. Players and parents are urged to pre register with me early so we may properly plan our event.



In addition to the Turning Stone event(s) and the Junior event, There will be 15 regular season billiard parlor events. All events will feature a minimum of $2,000 to $5,000 total added money. Note that Union Station Billiards in Portland Maine has only one event scheduled this season but has raised the added money to $5,000 for that event! All regular season events will consist of a Saturday and Sunday main event and a $500 added second chance event on Sunday for those non pro level players eliminated from the main event.



Our great line up of generous host rooms this season will include (in no particular order): TJ's Classic Billiards (Waterville ME). East Ridge Billiards (Rochester NY). Sharp Shooters Billiards & Sports Pub (2 events plus Junior event - Amsterdam NY). Raxx Pool Room & Grill (W. Hempstead NY). Snookers Billiards Bar & Grill (3 events - Providence RI). Union Station Billiards ($5000 added - Portland ME). Trick Shot Billiards & Sports Pub (Clifton Park NY). The Spot Billiards-Cafe Lounge (Nanuet NY). Brick House Billiards (2 events - N. Syracuse NY). Utica Billiards On The Boulevard (2 events - Utica NY). I would like to personally thank each and every one of our host facilities for being a part of the tour, allowing all of us the use of there great rooms, and for helping to keep our great sport alive and kicking. 



I would also like to thank all of our most generous sponsors this season for their continued support. This season's sponsors include, in no particular order: Iwan Simonis Cloth, "The Cloth Of Champions", Aramith, Billiards Press, AZBilliards.com, Poolonthenet.com, World Class Cue Care, FargoRate, Turning Stone Resort Casino & Joss Cues. An extra special thank you to Debbie, Dan & Stephen Janes of Joss Cues for 23+ years of donating  more than $500,000 worth of their beautiful custom engraved cues for raffle at all of our events!



Please note that once again this season in an effort to speed things up, final registration on Saturdays will be at 11:30 am Sharp. Please pass this important information on so we may try to conclude at a reasonable hour. Our simple billiard parlor dress code will once again be: NO T-shirts, tanks, sweats or shorts! Jeans, sneakers and a collared shirt will be just fine. Entry fees, excluding the Ocean State and the Turning Stone Events, will once again be $70 for non pro level players and $120 for pro level players. I alone will make the determination between pro and non pro level. Tour membership will again be $40 seasonal or $15 for each single event (TS excluded). A $40 seasonal membership would save the player $50 on their Turning Stone entry fee at least once and possibly twice, so to coin a phrase "membership has its privileges".



Our complete 2019-2020 season schedule has been posted on our site www.joss9balltour.com, AZBilliards.com and many other popular sites and magazines in the billiard world. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me at 518-356-7163. We are also on Facebook at, Mike Zuglan's Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour.
