Valley National 8 Ball League Association (VNA8) is one of the most popular amateur pool leagues worldwide with more than 100,000 members and over 10,000 venues throughout 36 US states. Their most famous claim to fame? They have the most well-known name in the industry. This is a huge advantage for players looking for a career. The league has produced two major professional tournaments over the past decade, as well as several prestigious youth leagues. Surprisingly, the league is also home to a female president.
The granddaddy of all pool leagues, the venerable Billiard Congress of America has been around for close to two centuries. This legendary organization boasts an impressive 50,000+ members. The avid billiards fan can expect to see many national and international events in the future. It is difficult for a small company to maintain a national and international presence. The association is a member-driven organisation, so there's more to it than meets the eye. One of the reasons BCAPL has been able to achieve this sort of longevity is the quality of service they provide their members.
