We aim to make this year’s Southeast Challenge – Tour de Jacksonville – the best player experience possible, and we’re obsessing over the details to make this unique tournament structure exciting and fun.
The 8-Ball and 9-Ball Tournaments will be held at two locations. A third location is exclusively dedicated to MiniMania Tournaments.
The 8-Ball and 9-Ball Tournaments will be fully hosted at QBall Billiards and Beaches QBall.
The two QBall locations are 9 miles apart, on the same road, and offer identical equipment.
The Jacksonville Beach location has 16 8-foot Diamond tables we will use for the event and the other location (locally referred to as the OG QBall) has 18 8-foot Diamond tables, 7 9-foot Diamond tables, and 1 9-foot Predator.
Teams will play at only one of the two QBall locations for the portion of the tournament hosted in both venues, prior to the brackets collapsing to a single venue on the final day of play for each format (see the full schedule below).
Teams will know which venue they will start at after the live bracket draw we will host on Facebook and YouTube at 5:30 PM on August 3rd.
