Big Improvements from the BCA! League System Sale Puts Players First Colorado Springs, CO - According to Billiard Congress of America (BCA) President John Stransky, "The Billiard Congress of America couldn't be more optimistic about the recent transfer of ownership for the BCA League System. Mark Griffin is the new owner, and he has the players' and league operators' interests first and foremost in his mind and in his plans." The transfer of ownership will occur on June 1, 2004. May 14-22, 2004, Mr. Griffin will take part in the BCA National 8-Ball Championships and will be meeting with players, league operators, BCA State Association officials, referees and vendors, both formally and informally (his daily schedule will be posted at the BCA check-in desk). While none of the league policies, procedures or fees will change, Mr. Griffin has many plans to improve the BCA League System and is open to ideas to increase player participation and satisfaction. BCA Executive Director Stephen Ducoff said, "The Billiard Congress of America staff from Colorado Springs will be checking in players, distributing player gift bags, handling roster changes and, most importantly, paying out an expected $800,000 in prize money. Play will be organized and kept on track by Mr. Gary Benson and his tireless staff from High Country Promotions. Mr. Roger Glenn, recently named as the BCA Director of Referees, will coordinate and supervise the nation's premier referee staff." "Change is never easy, but it's exciting," said Mr. Griffin.
