Tri-State Open

Gold Crown Billiards sponsors and runs four regional tournaments a year starting in 2010, one in each season. The Winter, Summer, and Fall events have been run in one day and are for non major tournament winners. The Spring event has been designated as the event where pros will be permitted to play. The goal is to grow this one tournament into a multi-day, sponsor involved, money added event. Scheduled events and results are listed.
