THE TOURNAMENT
WHERE PRECISION MEETS PRESSURE
The West Coast Challenge heads to Palm Springs for its eighty-fifth edition, bringing together 94 of the most skilled 8-Ball players from across California. Three days of double-elimination competition where every shot matters and only one walks away champion.
Set inside the Hyatt Palm Springs, competitors face off under championship conditions—regulation bar box Diamond tables, Simonis cloth, and an atmosphere that demands nothing less than perfection. Qualified players from five cities will battle it out to be crowned the Individual Open Champion, Women's Champion, Hi-Lo Scotch Doubles Champions, and Team Champions.
Looking for some nightly action, we got you covered! Qualified and non-qualified West Coast Challenge players can compete in our open tournaments—anyone can register! Thursday is the thrilling 8-Ball Tournament, Friday features the exciting 9-Ball Tournament, and Saturday night brings the unforgettable Calcutta Blind Draw Scotch Doubles 8-Ball Tournament!
