March 2026: Maryland Billiard Events, Leagues, and Tournaments

S&T Billiards | Bowie, Maryland — Your Local Billiards Store for Custom Cues, Billiards Supplies, and Everything a Billiards Player Needs

March is one of the best months to be a billiards player in Maryland. The spring pool league sessions are in full swing, local tournaments are heating up at pool halls across the state, and the biggest billiards trade show on the East Coast is right around the corner. Whether you are a seasoned 9ball shark, a casual 8ball league player, or someone who just picked up a pool stick for the first time, there is something happening this month that deserves a spot on your calendar.

At S&T Billiards in Bowie, Maryland, we live and breathe this game. As a dedicated billiards store serving the greater Maryland area, we carry everything from custom cues and custom cases to pool tables, billiard balls, and all the accessories that make a billiards player's setup complete. But beyond being a billiards store, we are part of this community. That means keeping you connected to the events, leagues, and tournaments that make Maryland one of the most active billiard scenes on the East Coast.

Here is what is happening in and around Maryland this March.

APA Pool League of Maryland — Spring Session in Full Swing

If you play pool in Maryland, chances are you know the American Poolplayers Association. The APA Pool League of Maryland is one of the largest APA franchises in the entire country, with over 10,000 billiards players competing at more than 300 host locations every single week. The spring session is well underway, and March is when the competition really starts to intensify as teams jockey for position heading toward qualifiers.

The APA offers both 8ball and 9ball league formats across Maryland, with divisions running nearly every night of the week. What makes the APA special for every billiards player is the Equalizer handicap system. It levels the playing field so that anyone can compete and anyone can win. If you have been thinking about joining a league, March is a great time to find a team. Many divisions across Baltimore, Prince George's County, Anne Arundel County, and the greater Bowie area are actively looking for billiards players.

The APA also runs qualifier tournaments throughout the spring, including 8ball doubles, 9ball doubles, and the popular Jack & Jill mixed events. These qualifiers give Maryland billiards players the chance to earn a trip to the APA National Team Championships in Las Vegas — the largest amateur billiards tournament in the world.

TAP League — Chesapeake Bay Region

The TAP (Tournament of Amateur Poolplayers) League is another popular option for billiards players in Maryland, particularly in the Chesapeake Bay region. TAP offers a slightly different format and handicap system than the APA, and many billiards players enjoy competing in both leagues to sharpen different aspects of their game.

The Chesapeake Bay Region TAP League runs 8ball, 9ball, and 10ball formats at host locations throughout Maryland. Spring session play is active throughout March, and TAP's point-based system gives every billiards player a clear path toward regional and national championships. If you are looking for a league that rewards consistent play and sportsmanship, TAP is worth checking out.

BCA Pool League — Maryland Divisions

The BCA Pool League, managed by CueSports International, has divisions operating across Maryland as well. BCA league play is known for its structured format and its pathway to the BCA Pool League World Championships, held annually in Las Vegas. The 2026 World Championships are moving to the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino with over 400 Predator Apex pool tables and more than 1,200 mini-tournaments across formats including 8ball, 9ball, and 10ball — both handicapped and open.

For Maryland billiards players competing in BCA league play this spring, March is a critical month in the regular season. Strong finishes in the spring session lead to state championship invitations and, ultimately, a shot at the World Championships.
