8-Ball League (zr8)

** ZR8 is an Independent Pool League NOT directly associated with ANY Amusement or Gaming company.

Zim's Rack 8-Ball league was formed in 2005 to offer a fair, more rewarding league for players and bar owners. We offer the highest payout for the amount taken in from the players in our areas.

We have three sessions per year; Winter, Spring and Summer. We have many divisions available to play in and divisions are divided by small geographical areas, allowing the players a shorter distance of travel on a weekly basis.

A unique handicap and scoring system is used to calculate individual and team standings. We run around a 16 week schedule, FIGHT TO THE FINISH! We feel that this removes the desire for players to sandbag.

Teams may have up to 8 players on their roster, but only 4 will play each weekly match. Three (3) of the four (4) must be AMATEUR (Open or Standard) skill level players and the fourth player may be AMATEUR, ADVANCED, MASTER or PRO skill level.

ZR8 is sanctioned with the American CueSports Alliance (ACS) and our players have the opportunity to participate in ALL ACS sanctioned events. Including State, Regional and Nationals in Las Vegas without going thru a local qualifying process with multiple entry fees and tournaments.

UPDATE 04/28/2019:

Spring is winding down and Summer session will start in June. Spring session had a total of 73 teams playing. All divisions except for the Ofallon, Route 16, Fayette are ACS sanctioned, they opted out. . Thanks to everyone for playing this session.
