From the owners
A note from Marcos & John
Thank you for supporting Good Times Billiards since we took it over in 2017. This room only works because of the people who show up — the regulars, the new faces, and everyone in between.
Pool Players Appreciation Day is our first annual tournament built around fun, good times, and being around the players you love to play with. Not a pro stop. Just a loud Saturday with friends and a race to one.
We’re glad you’re here. See you at the tables.

Top 12 get paid — amounts depend on how many players are in the field ($1,500 house money + buy-ins). Plus giveaways, merch & raffles for the day. Same weekend as the US Open — ESPN on the TVs while you wait for your table. Background energy, not a ticketed watch party.

FAQ
Before you rack
- Do I pay online?
- No — interest only. Bring $25 (or pay at the desk when we confirm) on event day.
- What does “race to one” mean?
- Every match is a single game. Win and advance; lose and you’re out. Fast, loud, fun.
- How many get paid?
- Top 12. Exact payout amounts depend on the size of the field — more players means a bigger pot on top of the $1,500 added.
- Is this an official US Open event?
- No. House appreciation tournament. The Open is on the TVs the same weekend — vibe only.
