How much does it cost to enter?

Open Division entry fees are based on each player's Fargo rating:

Each listed fee includes a $5 administrative charge. Players who do not preregister and enter as walk-ins must pay an additional $5.

Women entering the Open Division receive $20 off the appropriate Fargo-tier fee. No membership is required, and the stop will not include a Calcutta or player auction. Optional side pots will be available by skill level.

What tournament format will be used?

Stop 7 uses a double-elimination 9-ball format with races to 7/5. Matches will feature alternate breaks, rack your own, the three-foul rule and permission to use jump cues under the published Texas Express 9-Ball rules.

The official equipment list includes Predator Arcos II balls and the Predator Aero Rack.

What is the Last Lady Standing prize?

Keeping 9 Ball Weird is presenting a $120 Last Lady Standing award. The prize will go to the final woman remaining in the Open bracket.

The CenTex Pool Tour credited Paul Lally for supporting the stop through the Austin-based sponsor.

What should players know about the Sunday dress code?

The dress code applies during Open Finals day on Sunday. Players are expected to maintain a clean, professional appearance.

Acceptable tops include collared shirts, tour or sponsor apparel and billiards-industry apparel. Sleeveless shirts and clothing with offensive, vulgar or crude content are not permitted.

Slacks, performance or golf-style pants and tailored casual shorts are allowed. Athletic or mesh shorts and blue jeans are not. Footwear must be closed-toe, so sandals and other open-toe shoes are excluded.

Any requested exception must be approved by the tournament director before the event. The published policy states that noncompliant attire may result in a match forfeit at the tournament director's discretion.

What equipment does Skinny Bob's provide?

Skinny Bob's Billiards has 17 nine-foot Diamond tables. Cash payment on site is preferred, while the tournament page also lists Cash App, Venmo, PayPal and Zelle as options.

Players can avoid the $5 walk-in surcharge by preregistering through DigitalPool before arriving at the venue.

What history does Skinny Bob's have with the tour?

The venue has hosted 17 CenTex Pool Tour events since 2022. Sean Black and Eric Aicinena are listed as the Open Division co-house champions with two victories each.

Kim Sanders leads the listed Women's Division history at Skinny Bob's with three wins in six appearances. At the earlier 2026 stop held at the venue on June 20–21, Gerson Martinez won the Open Division.

That record gives the October stop an established competitive backdrop as the tour approaches its 2026 finale.

How can players register or follow the bracket?

Players can register for CenTex Stop 7 on DigitalPool. The same tournament listing also provides the live bracket.
