Wyoming's League Operator, Heather Curby, is looking forward to expanding the UPA throughout her state and stated recently: "We've been able to expand our League of Champions to surrounding areas. It's fun and exciting to inform the players of how the league operates and the benefits involved. My favorite aspect of the League of Champions is the rating system and how it breaks down all avenues of your game including your break, foul, and miss percentages. It offers the player input into the areas improvement might be needed as well as one's strengths. Another great tool we are able to offer is rankings with other shooters across the nation and not just in your immediate divisions. The league has definitely been a rewarding experience as an operator and I look forward to many more great seasons in the future!" Click here to find a UPA Pool League near you.
We want to also congratulate UPA monthly winners: Amanda Pulley won a brand new Instroke case and Allen Murphy took home a brand new Poison AR4 Cue from Poison Cues! Each month the UPA continues to draw for prizes from our gracious sponsors Instroke Cases and Poison Cues so get your name in the hat and we might see your name here next time around.
Looking to initiate your own league? It's a great time to get started as the UPA is offering discounts on its territory licenses for new league operators.
