CCS 2010/11 League Year
June 1 to May 31

LET'S PLAY POOL!

The CCS welcomes all newcomers and returnees as we celebrate another year of having fun playing in Leagues and Championships.

************LEAGUES*************

Lucasi Hybrid New 3 Year Marketing Agreement
Each League Year, all CCS League Operators receive a $400 MSRP Lucasi Hybrid Cue to raffle or give away for the benefit of their League.

These cues are exceptional in how they're made and how they play. It's almost unfair to the competition. You simply won't find a better cue at a better price.

All CCS League Operators also have the right to order any product available from Cue & Case Sales at wholesale pricing with no minimum order required.

Lucasi Hybrid Cues are exclusively designed, made and sold by Cue & Case Sales based in St. Augustine Florida. See their Sponsor link on the left sidebar.

Who Can Join the CCS?
Anyone in Canada who has a Pool League or wants to start one. All you need is a minimum of 20 Players on at least 4 Teams. When your league starts is up to you.
For more information, click on 'How To Join' up above.

Need a Scheduling and Stat System?
A website based League Management System is available at no charge to any league that sanctions with the CCS.
To see what it looks like, go to demo.pplms.ca. (Do not put www. in front of the address.)
For more information, call the CCS National Office at (403) 278-4180 or send an e-mail to pplted@hotmail.com.

*********CHAMPIONSHIPS*********

CCS - All Championships - New 9Ball Team Event
Following the successful introduction of '9Ball Singles' last year, this year we are introducing '9Ball Team' on a limited trial basis. Guaranteed to be fun, a great warmup for 8Ball and another chance to win some dough.

To avoid adding a full day, the Event will be single knockout, in a single group with handicaps and played 'start to finish' the evening before 8Ball Team play starts. Teams of 3 players each will be limited to 32 Mens and 16 Womens.

CCS - Canadians - 'Dr. Cue' is Back
A very hard man to nail down, we couldn't get him the last 2 years but we got him for 2011. Dr. Cue (Tom Rossman) is a 25 time Artistic Pool Champion (World, WPA, Masters, ESPN, US Open) and is widely known as the best Artistic Pool Entertainer in the World.

Dr. Cue will be in the Foyer at the Canadians from Thursday to Saturday. His energy, skill sets and humour is legendary. For those up to the challenge, Tom will also be staging a $5 on-site entry Artistic Competition with 100% payback.

CCS - Mens Teams - No '3 Original Member' Rule
There is no longer a 3 Original Member Rule in Team Play at any CCS Championship.
The requirements for all Team Members to be from the same sanctioned League and to have played the specified minimum number of Matches have not changed.

CCS - Womens Teams - No 'Same League' Rule
Players on Womens Team Rosters are now permitted to be from any CCS sanctioned league.
The requirement that all Team Members must have played the specified minimum of matches has not changed.

CCS - Championship Staff
We just have to give a shout out to our Tournament Directors and Referees who always keep CCS Championships on track and running smooth. With years of experience, they make it look easy when it's not.

The Tournament Director for the Canadians is Gary Benson from Ft. Collins Colorado. For the BC's and the Westerns, it's Chris Kelly from Calgary AB. Both have done every CCS Championship to date; 19 so far and still counting.

For the Referees, every Championship is manned by fully certified ACS National Referees, headed by Jeff Phythian from Calgary AB. Just like Allstate, you couldn't be in better hands. You may not like the call but I can almost guarantee it will be the right one.

CCS - Player Rankings
We take player rankings very seriously. The fairness of every Championship depends on it.

Every player is assigned one and the Division (Standard, Open or Advanced) that you can enter in any Event of any CCS or ACS Championship will be based on it.

Singles Ranking - based on Singles Events only; your last 2 performances.
Team Ranking - based on Singles and Team Events; your last 2 performances.

For more detailed information, click on Player Rankings in the middle of the left sidebar.
