U of M Team Pool Championships (UMTPC)
This annual collegiate championship tournament--one of only two collegiate team pool tournaments in the country--is held at the University of Michigan in late Fall / early Winter. The 7th Annual UMTPC will be held:
November 12-14, 2010
General Information:
This is a 3-day team event, starting on Friday afternoon and ending on Sunday evening, sometimes very late. This depends largely upon the number of entries and the speed/pace of play.
Tournament site is the University of Michigan, specifically the Michigan Union Billiards & Games Room, 2nd floor, 530 S. State, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Because time is of the essence, the field is limited to 16 teams. Each team is comprised of 4 players plus an (optional) alternate.
Teams vie for the title in each of three events, plus the coveted all-around title. Trophies and medals are awarded for each event as well as the all-around total.
