We believe that no matter what your game is, or what you call it, Pocket Billiards is a game that requires a steady hand, a sharp eye, and a wealth of knowledge. While we can do our best to bring you the tools of the game, we recognize those organizations that help to nurture the future generation of pool players.

The Billiard Congress of America (BCA) was established in 1948, with early involvement by players like Willie Mosconi and Willie Hoppe.
