For its sixth year, the Quad Cities will host billiard players in downtown Davenport from January 19-23, 2022.
The ACME American CueSports Alliance (ACS) Midwest 8-Ball Championships will move 80 pool tables to RiverCenter’s Great River Hall in the South Building for the 900 registered players ready to compete for $45,000 in prize money across 15 divisions. The public is welcome and admission is free.
ACS has announced that it has extended its partnership with Visit Quad Cities and the RiverCenter to host the ACS Midwest 8-Ball Championships in January and the Iowa ACS State Billiards Championships in October through 2024.
“As the new Executive Director of the American CueSports Alliance, I am delighted to be working with the wonderful staff and crew of the RiverCenter, the Visit Quad Cities team and the local community,” said Janet Ybarra, ACS Executive Director, in a Monday release. “The Quad Cities always make our members feel welcome!”
“We are incredibly grateful for the long-standing partnership with the American CueSports Alliance,” said Dave Herrell, President and CEO of Visit Quad Cities. “The Midwest 8-Ball Championships is yet another example of how sports tourism continues to create value for the regional destination Quad Cities and positively impact our visitor economy. We look forward to welcoming the hundreds of participants, the ACS and fans of the pool sport as they compete and experience the QC here at the RiverCenter.”
