As of today, July 27, 2015, the requirements necessary for WPA sanctioning of the 2015 U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship has been fulfilled. The required $75,000 in added money is now accounted for and approved by Accu-Stats Video Productions and the WPA. All prize monies will be paid from the Bank of America escrow account in Norfolk, Virginia. This awards the event a “WPA Tier 2” status which encourages worldwide participation.
The Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel is also ready to provide the necessary space and comforts at discounted rates for the tournament contestants as well as attendees. To reserve hotel rooms, call 757-622-6664. Use code “USOPEN” for the $89 room rate. See your savings by going to sheratonnorfolkwaterside.com to compare the rates for everyone else!
