Locally,TAP Las Vegas offers the Vegas Masters 8 & 9 Ball State Championship tournaments and a minimum of 3 local tournament opportunities annually. With our continued growth, we'll be sending 4 teams to Nationals and 1 to Rally in the Valley! This year, we will also be offering a Dream Team tournament in preparation for Rally at Bally's.
Nationally, the year starts off with Rally in the Valley in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. In the fall, Nationals is held in a different city every year, giving players the opportunity to vacation and play pool in some great destinations. We've been to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Orlando, Florida; Louisville, Kentucky; New Orleans, Louisiana and right here in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the summer we normally offer the Duel in the Desert right here in Las Vegas. This tournament is on hold until 2012.
Rally in the Valley/
Rally at Bally's
Rally in the Valley is a 5-Player Dream Team 8-Ball tournament that brings together approximately 150 teams from all over the U.S. and Canada. This year, TAP League will also be hosting this event in Las Vegas as Rally at Bally's. Players form their own teams for this event.
Rally in the Valley is a great tournament event held in Pennsylvania every March at the Allen Hopkins Super Billiards Expo where you can likely find Allison Fisher and the Jeanette Lee roaming about and even get the opportunity to shoot a rack with one of them. We’re still going places and want to take you with us! The top team from the Vegas Masters will be offered a trip to the 2011 Rally in the Valley in lieu of the local Nationals.
Here is a peak at last year's grand event......
TAP League saw the biggest Rally in the Valley event ever, a sold out venue, as 144 teams and hundreds of Singles players came out to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to try their skills against North America's best amateur TAP League 8-ball players on state of the art Diamond Tables!

In the Dream Team event, competition was fierce, as this event brings together some of the best players from across the United States and Canada, all vying for the top Dream Team prize of $10,000 and the title of Rally in the Valley Champions. Your own Vegas Strokers played their hearts out on Day 1 in the Round Robin event and made it to the 2nd Tier single elimination Championship Board. From here, we won our first match, but lost the second …..just one match out of the money. We all had a great time and plan to go back next year.
The event took place just outside of Philly. After our unfortunate loss, we made the best of it and tried the rival Philly Cheese Steak cuisine……Geno’s and Pat’s…..and saw the sites. Pat’s won the Philly Cheese Steak war hands down….unanimously. We also enjoyed the Allen Hopkins Super Billiards Expo. There was lots to do….mini 8-ball singles and doubles tournaments, a Second Chance Scramble tournament or even just practicing on the ever so perfect Diamond Tables. I highly recommend putting your own Dream Team together and planning to attend this grand event next year!
