About the promoter...
The Million Dollar 9-Ball Shootout is brought to you by Allen Hopkins, former World Champion and ESPN Commentator. His professional career began in the 1970's and has spanned 3 decades. During that time, Hopkins has won countless titles, including World and US Championships. He also served on the board of the now defunct PPPA and was the president of the MPBA. Hopkins has been the color commentator for ESPN for years, and was involved with billiards on television as far back as the early 80's with the CBS Wide World of Sports. In 1993, Allen Hopkins started the Super Billiards Expo which has since become the largest consumer orientated Expo in the industry. Over the last several years, Hopkins has combined efforts with Billiards International to bring you the SKINS Billiards Championship and the Texas Hold'em Billiards Championship.
With years of experience and knowledge, Hopkins has now set his eye on making this the largest pool tournament ever. His vision of a $1,000,000 prize pool is very attainable, and his qualifier system will allow the everyday player to get in on the action and take a chance to win someting big.
