UNITED STATES BILLIARD ASSOCIATION HISTORY<br />
The U.S.B.A. was formed in 1988 through the merger of the Billiard Federation of the<br />
U.S.A. (BFUSA) and the American Billiard Association (ABA).<br />
The BFUSA was formed in 1966 by Robert Byrne, Edward Courtney and Dr. Erikson<br />
for the purpose of promoting amateur 3-cushion billiard tournaments in the U.S., and in order<br />
to qualify under the UMB Union of World Billiards requirements, for entry of U.S. players into<br />
the European World Cup Tournaments.<br />
The ABA was founded in 1968 by Robert Strange, Don Tozer, Merhl Smith, Harold<br />
Schmidt and others to provide regular 3-cushion billiard tournaments throughout the Midwest.<br />
The ABA soon spread to the entire country and was divided into three divisions: East, Central<br />
and West.<br />
Currently, the USBA has over 500 members from coast and coast, and is divided into<br />
three regions: Eastern, Central and Western. The high point of the year is the U.S. National<br />
Championship which is conducted according to the USBA Constitution, and held at different<br />
locations throughout the U.S. each year.<br />
Scores of local and regional USBA-sanctioned tournaments are held throughout the year<br />
all across the nation. These tournaments are the foundation upon which the USBA thrives,<br />
providing <strong>com</strong>petition for players and contributing monies to fund USBA activities. The future<br />
of the USBA depends largely upon the continued support of local and regional tournaments, pool<br />
and billiard establishments, and the active involvement of old and new members.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />
A 3-cushion billiard tournament of such significance as the United States National<br />
Championship is planned, organized and executed under the auspices of the USBA. The<br />
preparation is carried out by the member establishment at which the Nationals is held, and all<br />
those USBA members and contributing individuals whose efforts <strong>com</strong>bine to make the National<br />
Championship a success. We would like to acknowledge and thank those people for their<br />
contributions.<br />
