ACME 2021 ACS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

The American CueSports Alliance (ACS) Board of Directors is a group of pool playing members, such as yourself, elected by the ACS membership. They are as involved and have the same concerns about the sport as their fellow members do.  During these trying times within our sport, and North America in general, your Directors have the difficult task of balancing the best interests of its members who want to play pool, while keeping an informed perspective on their health and welfare amid the unpredictability of producing events over these next few months.  With these concerns in mind, currently and in the coming months, the ACS Board regrets to announce that the ACS must cancel its Omega Billiards 2020 ACS National Championships scheduled for the Tropicana Las Vegas, May 9-16.  While the Tropicana in Las Vegas may reopen by the dates needed to set-up and produce these Championships, we project the restrictions which casinos will be required to follow in May, and many weeks thereafter, will make the production of our gathering impossible.

For all members who made plans to attend (and we were projecting another record turnout!) and are staying at the host property and reserved under the ACS block using the ACS-Passkey , Tropicana will be automatically canceling your reservations and refunding any deposits made.  Those who reserved their rooms at the Tropicana using others means such as player rewards, Hilton points, etc. should use their original email confirmation to request a refund from the Tropicana.  In addition, the ACS administrative office will be refunding all entry fees to the original funding source, in full, minus any PayPal or credit card fees charged to the ACS.  These refunds will be processed and remitted between mid-April and mid-May.

2019-20 league year ACS State Championship Teams that took advantage of the free entry perks for the 2020 Nationals will be honored for the 2021 ACS Nationals.  State Championship Teams will be refunded their 2020 ACS Nationals fees and must resubmit entries in the same manner for the 2021 ACS Nationals. We request that all team members still qualify in ACS-sanctioned leagues during the 2020-21 ACS league year that begins June 1, 2020.

We can only hope that you can understand the difficult decision we made.  Everyone – players, staff and Directors – looks forward to seeing old friends and enjoys the ambiance, competition, entertainment and energy generated at the ACS Nationals every year…all of which will be sorely missed.  We apologize for any inconvenience to our attendees.  Airlines are being flexible with transfer, refund and voucher policies, and in some cases you might want to reschedule your flights for 2021, when we’ll reconvene in a big way at the ACME ACS Nationals, May 15-23, at the Tropicana Las Vegas!   STAY SAFE!

RESERVATIONS & REFUNDS UPDATE - CANCELED OMEGA BILLIARDS 2020 ACS NATIONALS ! 

TOURNAMENT ENTRY REFUNDS: The American CueSports Alliance (ACS) administration will be processing entry refunds for the canceled OMEGA BILLIARDS 2020 ACS NATIONALS. We project the refund process will take approximately one month (April 15 thru May 15). PLAYERS DO NOT NEED TO CONTACT THE ACS, AS ACS ADMINISTRATION WILL AUTOMATICALLY PROCESS REFUNDS TO THE ORIGINAL FUNDING SOURCE FOR EACH ENTRY. During this process, we will appreciate your patience. If you have not received your refund by May 20, feel free to contact the ACS office.

OR TRANSFER YOUR ENTRY FEE TO THE ACME 2021 ACS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS: Should you desire to skip a refund and transfer your entry(s) to the ACME 2021 ACS NATIONALS at the Tropicana Las Vegas, May 15-22, contact the ACS administration IMMEDIATELY at either 

920-662-1705 or info@americancuesports.org and request the specific entries to be held over for the 2021 Championships! 2020 entry fee amounts will remain the same for 2021.

REFUND OF TROPICANA HOTEL RESERVATIONS/DEPOSITS: Unfortunately all business within the Las Vegas casinos (including the Tropicana) is on hold until the Nevada governor authorizes them to reopen. If you have reservations to cancel and/or hotel room deposits to be refunded, the Tropicana reservations department will automatically do so once the Tropicana reopens. They have no ability to do so until the Trop reopens. Once the Tropicana has reopened and had some time to update their affairs, they will be automatically canceling your reservations and refunding any deposits. If you do not receive notice of your cancellation/deposit refund in a reasonable amount of time, contact the Tropicana directly.

In the meantime, STAY SAFE!
