Hi Everyone:

If you're not already a CCS - Canadian Cue Sport Association sanctioned league, this would be a great year to join the CCS family.

Here's the full slate of tournaments that all your players and teams will be eligible to go to this league year; across Canada and down South:

Up Here
Pure X CCS Maritimes - Nov 8 to 11 - Dooly's Portland Str - Dartmouth NS
Pure X CCS Vancouver Island - Nov 20 to 24 - Vancouver Island Conference Centre - Nanaimo BC
Pure X CCS BC's - Feb 26 to Mar 2 - Lakeside Resort Hotel & Casino - Penticton BC
Pure X CCS Canadians - Apr 14 to 19 - Delta Meadowvale Hotel - Mississauga ON
Pure X CCS Westerns - Apr 30 to May 4 - Acadia Rec Centre - Calgary AB

Down There
Omega ACS Midwest - Jan 16 to 19 - Riverside Casino - Riverside IA
Omega ACS Nationals - May 10 to 16 - Tropicana Casino - Las Vegas NV

We're pretty much ready to go. The Online Player Rankings have been updated and the Online Tournament Entry at the CCS website is already open. Please find attached the Tournament Brochures for the CCS tournaments.

What's New for 2013/14?

You may have noticed a new tourney on the list. Yes, the Vancouver Island tourney is a go, thanks largely to the persistent efforts of Rose Kantor of the Comox Valley PL. That was just finalized, so full info will be distributed shortly by separate e-mail.
We're working on expanding the Online Streaming, first done at last year's Canadians, to all the CCS tournies this year.
We're expanding the use of the Compu Sport Chart Display system, first used at last year's Canadians, to the BC's and the Westerns. No more hard copy Tournament Charts, plus family and friends can follow your progress online throughout the tournament.
It's official. For the 1st time ever, the CCS Canadians have been combined with the CBSA Canadians (as a National 'Pro-Am'), which we're very excited about.
The free website based CCS Stat and Scheduling system has been upgraded to accept the alternative 17 Point game scoring approach for 8Ball.
Continued Pure X cue sponsorship for every CCS sanctioned league by Cue&Case Sales in Saint Augustine FL but with distribution of the free cues done directly by CCS.

For those returning, we thank you for your continued support of Canadian leagues banding together and doing our own Canadian thing.

For those thinking about joining, we'd love to talk to you. Full info on what we do is available on the CCS website at www.cdnqsport.com. Don't hesitate to call the National Office at (403) 278-4180 or send an e-mail to pplted@hotmail.com. We're for real, here to stay and growing.

Whatever your circumstances are, you're more than welcome to join. We exist to help you, in any way we can, for your members to be able to experience the fun and excitement of playing others from elsewhere, in competition that's well organized and friendly.

Let's Play Pool!

Regards,
Ted Harms
