REMINDER: ACME 2021 ACS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS “EARLY-BIRD” DISCOUNTED ENTRY FEE DEADLINE LOOMS – JANUARY 31, 2021 AND NEW GUIDELINES INTRODUCED !

 

UPDATED GUIDELINES:
1). In consideration of the challenges many ACS/CCS leagues have experienced throughout North America due the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACS Executive Committee has lowered the local participation-week eligibility requirement for attendees from 8 matches over 8 weeks to 4 matches of play over a minimum of 4 weeks in one session that paid its 2020-21 sanction fees in the current ACS league year that began June 1, 2020.
2). REMINDER: There has not been a core player requirement for teams qualifying for the ACS Nationals for a few years. Standard and Open Teams may be composed of any eligible players from the same local league; need not be from the same local team. Advanced Teams may be composed of any eligible ACS/CCS league members in ACS/CCS leagues from within the same state/province; need not be from the same ACS/CCS league.
3). While some entries authorized forwarding their entries from the 2020 ACS Nationals to the 2021 ACS Nationals and some ACS State Champion teams missed out on offered perks due to the 2020 ACS Nationals being canceled, those benefits will be awarded at the 2021 ACS Nationals….BUT those players in these categories (as are all attendees to the 2021 ACS Nationals) are still required to regain eligibility by playing at least 4 local matches over a minimum 4 weeks in one 2020-21 ACS/CCS sanctioned-league session that began after June 1, 2020, and paid the 2020-21 ACS league sanction fees.The ACME 2021 ACS National Championships at the Tropicana Las
Vegas, May 15-22, is still months away, but the American CueSports Alliance (ACS) offers players a 20% discount on their entry fees if they sign up online or postmark their entries by JANUARY 31 !

The regular entry fee period is February 1 through March 22, 2021, while a $25-added late fee period is March 23 through April 5, 2021. No entries will be accepted if submitted after the April 5, 2021 online and postmark deadline. And throughout the entry period, attendees pay a lower entry fee by staying at the Tropicana Las Vegas!

In recent years, the overwhelming majority of entrants have lodged at THE TROP ! When you reserve your rooms at the Tropicana Las Vegas, you make the action convenient for your players, AND insure the success of this event and the continued expansion of this event in future years!

REFUND OF TROPICANA HOTEL RESERVATIONS/DEPOSITS: Unfortunately all business within the Las Vegas casinos (including the Tropicana) is on hold until the Nevada governor authorizes them to reopen. If you have reservations to cancel and/or hotel room deposits to be refunded, the Tropicana reservations department will automatically do so once the Tropicana reopens. They have no ability to do so until the Trop reopens. Once the Tropicana has reopened and had some time to update their affairs, they will be automatically canceling your reservations and refunding any deposits. If you do not receive notice of your cancellation/deposit refund in a reasonable amount of time, contact the Tropicana directly.
