International Open: Billiards Tournament

For nine days—from Monday, November 18 through Tuesday, November 26—the World Golf Village Resort will host the International Open, a professional billiards tournament.

Spectators may book tickets to watch the matches as professional billiards players work their way through the tournament. Games will be held on 32 tables, including in eight, four-table miniature arenas designed for close-to-the-action viewing. 

Tour Organizer, Pat Fleming, is a member of the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame, who now runs Accu-Stats Video Productions, a company he founded in the 1980s after he retired from playing pool professionally. In 2018 Pat took over managing the International Open.

Over 200 players have registered including players from the U.S., Spain, Poland, Singapore, Canada, Lithuania, and Finland. They will compete for World Ranking points and cash prizes up to $40,000.
