Now it's time for our Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour's 23nd continuous regular season of events beginning on September 21 & 22 with "The Main Event XIII" at TJ's Classic Billiards in beautiful Waterville Maine. TJ's owners Steve Reynolds and Steve Claude are most deserving of our thanks for not only adding $2,000 to our event, but also allowing us the use of their beautiful room for the weekend.

You don't even need to be present to win!! Also while at TJ's you can enjoy some great home cooked specials and a beer or two if you like.
