The Valley National 8 Ball League Association, one of the largest amateur pool leagues in the world, has nearly 100,000 members and more than 10,000 venues across 36 US states. Their most distinctive claim to fame lies in their name. This is a huge advantage for players looking for a career. The league has been home to two major professional tournaments in the past decade and many prestigious youth leagues. It is the only professional league to have a female president, which is quite interesting.
The Billiard Congress of American is the most renowned pool league. It has been in existence for over two centuries. This venerable organization has a staggering 50,000 plus members and the billiards aficionado can expect to see a slew of national and international events over the next several years. For a small company such as the BCA, it is not easy to have a global presence. Fortunately, the association is a member-driven organization, and there is much more to the league than meets the eye. BCAPL has enjoyed a long history of success due to the exceptional service that they offer their members.
