TD Rowe is proud to offer the VNEA (Valley National 8-Ball League) Pool League. The VNEA is the largest Pool League organization in the world, with more than 345 vending distributors offering the program in 14 countries as well as 42 states in the U.S.

Scheduled league matches bring players and spectators into customer locations every week for the duration of the league schedule, usually 21-28 weeks, resulting in increased sales for the location.

A location owner will not only benefit from the additional coin drop, but from increased food and beverage sales. Amounts as high as $150 or more in additional income have been reported per league night per match. A location in Ft. Collins, Colo., had more than 26 teams last season. On a league night, that location had 18 teams playing their matches - bringing to that bar additional revenue of more than $1,300 for each league night.

Player-patron allegiance to the location increases, as they not only go to the tavern for league night, but also for practice on non-league nights.

League matches are usually scheduled at locations on what would typically be their slower nights, Monday through Thursday. Thereby, leagues stimulate extra activity at a time that most bars would be experiencing off-nights.

To The Player
The player is offered an organized program in which to compete, with a standardized set of rules and a handicap system.

Players receive membership cards and a patch or pin to identify them as a sanctioned member in a worldwide association. A national awards program and a subscription to a national magazine are additional benefits offered to participants.

One of the biggest benefits to the player is the eligibility for competition in local, state and national tournaments.

Our leagues are run on a 100% payback system. The players receive at the end of the season the money they paid each night (with the exception of the quarters for the games) back in the form of: banquet, trophies, travel funds, and actual cash. Even if a team places 12th out of 12 teams, they will get to share in the banquet, plus receive a portion of payback money.
