Best of the Best Bull Carbon Tourney

At Park Avenue Billiards, a Bull Carbon Cues sponsored tournament invites top performers for a double elimination competition organized by skill tier. Entry is free, and registration is open to players who placed within the top four of their MVP bracket or who hold a leading position in the Hot Shot standings. The event features separate 8-Ball and 9-Ball fields, with three champions crowned in each format. Every champion receives a high end Bull Carbon cue. Eligibility is defined by two scoring systems. MVP measures efficiency as the percentage of points you earned out of the total available in your matches. In 8-Ball each match offers three points and in 9-Ball each match offers twenty points, so simply playing more does not raise the percentage unless you score. Hot Shot rewards performance by granting points for victories, adding the skill level of every opponent you defeat. Results are tracked separately for each team, and opponent skill is based on end of session levels. Together these metrics highlight both efficient scoring and strong wins against tougher competition.
