If you have an interest in acquiring and developing an Artistic Pool event in your area, please let us know. We have made the process for getting an event “very easy” with the “A, B, C” event options. Attached are the approved WPA APD event guidelines once again for your review and consideration.
Thank you for helping to grow our magnetic sport art form in you local or regional area, nationally, and around the world.
The WPA APD would like to thank the IL ACS board for their financial / venue provisions and their willingness to host this official WPA World Ranked event.
