What is the RTC?
Sixty-four women from across the country earned a spot in this event from their respective Regional Tour point standings. The battle will determine who will become the 2008 Season Regional Tour Champion and win the benefits associated with this title.
There are currently 9 WPBA-recognized Regional Tours across the country. These Regional Tours are the grass-roots program for the WPBA organization, providing up-and-coming female players with a competitive circuit to sharpen their skills and earn the right to play in WPBA events. Each Regional Tour holds qualifying tournaments throughout the year, with the winner of each qualifier securing a paid entry into a WPBA Classic Tour event. It is tough work to win a qualifier, and most players feel blessed if they can win more than one in a season.
In 2001, the WPBA created the Regional Tour Championships, a tournament where the best players from each regional tour come together to decide who the cream of the crop is. The idea behind the Regional Tour Championships was to recognize the importance of our Regional Tour system and to reward the winner for being the best of the bunch. The are competing for paid entries into each WPBA Classic event for an entire year, giving the winner an opportunity to earn points and secure her Exempt status on the WPBA tour.
This year is the 8th Annual Regional Tour Championships, to be held February 21st – 22nd, 2009 at the Parlor Billiards & Spirits in Bellevue, WA. This is the first time that The Parlor Billiards & Spirits is hosting the WPBA Regional Tour Championships. The owner, Steve Olson, is excited about having the players come compete at his establishment and is adding $6,000 to the prize fund.
