Membership can be paid at the same time as your tournament entry. If you are already a member of NZPA no extra fees will be charged.

Powered by Predator, the 2024 Predator New Zealand 9 Ball Championships will be played on Predator Apex 9-foot pool tables covered in Predator Arcadia Reserve professional pool table cloth when available. Predator Arcos II billiard balls will be used along with the Predator Aerorack billiard triangle. The Predator Arena Billiard Light will also be used on the TV table at Pukekohe. The latter stages of the event will be streamed, and we will provide a link to the stream later prior to the tournament.

All players will be competing for double ranking points that will be used to select a team whenever NZPA is offered entries into international and World Championship events.
