Another PVA Billiards Tournament Series down means another reason to rack ’em up again next season 🎱

Over five tournament stops and thousands of miles, and players with disabilities showed that great shots and great friendships can be found around every corner of the table during our 80th year.

But none of those moments would have made their mark without our athletes, supporters, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Great Plains Chapter, PVA Mid-South Chapter, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Buckeye Chapter, Paralyzed Veterans of America Mid-Atlantic Chapter, Mid-America Pva Chapter, and the National Wheelchair Poolplayers Association.

Fortunately, this isn’t your cue to put down your cue just yet…

The first shot of our next series will be called on September 11–12, 2026, in Omaha, Nebraska, where we’ll set the tone for another year of competition and crown our Player of the Year 🏆👀

So, whether you’re returning to defend your title or looking to compete for the first time, there’s a place for you in another season of and the : https://events.blackthorn.io/Ho1cSeR7/5a2FUi1N7hl.
