QCBC Members Win Medals at Senior Olympic Festival
Mike Ohrel brings home gold, John Andersen silver, and Jim Gaines bronze medals for 8-ball matches held at the Senior Olympic Festival. Congratulations to them and kudos to all our members who competed in the event on January 25, 2022 at Pockets in Tucson.
2022 Dues Suspended
Since our billiards room will be under construction for several weeks this year and since the club funds are sufficient to keep us going, the QCBC board voted to suspend annual dues for members who paid dues in 2019, 2020 or 2021. In 2022 we will collect $10 per person for new applications.
The board is really excited about the expansion of our billiards facilities and will work hard at making this transition as smooth as possible.
Thank you for your support and understanding.

Format:
- A team consists of a male and a female.
- If your partner is unable to make it, come anyway since some singles looking to partner up.
- Game format will be 8-Ball. WPA rules that will be observed and are located here: https://wpapool.com/rules-of-play
- This is just for fun. No scoring or trophy awards.
- Jack-N-Jill play (You make one, your partner shoots the next shot, and so on). This format makes the game more competitive.
