ACS National Artistic Pool Championship

ACS National Artistic Pool ChampionshipThe ACS National Artistic Pool Championship is very special to ACS billiards players, ACS league operators, and the special fans of “all” the ACS has to offer. Since 1993 record numbers of amateur players have participated in dozens of “artistic pool” competitions that have been developed and run by my wife and me. Select TV events have given the “art” of “trick shots and so much more” a wider audience appeal and several online sites continue to provide daily shot updates from players around the world…shooting “artistic” challenges with creative accents of original design and presentation…to the delight of each person viewing them.
Since Marty and I began our promotional association with the ACS years ago via our “artistic pool” shows, clinics, and competitions, many of you have expressed an interest in continuing and even expanding your competitive flair and participation in the sport of “artistic pool”…with the hope of being able to participate in higher levels of challenge, while enjoying an attractive monetary return. Well, the time has finally arrived for each of you to experience this journey of challenge and excitement…performing the “twists and turns / dips and dives” of this magnetic sport. “Ms. Cue” and I have created a unique opportunity for each of you attending the ACS National event in June of 2007 – the Dr. Cue Classic “Artistic Pool” Tour!!Special Note: The “classic” shots of this tour are challenges that can be made with basic pool skills and knowledge, plus they are guaranteed to spark a special shooting joy to your overall “playing” experience during your Vegas visit. This unique concept will include the ACS National “Artistic Pool” Championship as one of “four foundational – industry wide” tour stops, leading up to the Dr. Cue Classic “Artistic” Cup in late 2007.
