EnjoyPool.com 9-Ball Championships
Deadline: Annual / Each Fall
Contact:
BCA Marketing |
 For the
EnjoyPool.com 9-Ball Championships (formerly the BCA Open 9-Ball
Championships), exclusive official sponsorships are offered in
table, presenting, cue, cloth, ball, rack, chalk, furniture and
lighting categories, along with added arena sponsorships made
available to non-competing products and services.
Official sponsors
meeting minimum bid requirements will be invited to display
their company name, logo, phone number and/or website URL on
rotating arena banners, just like those used by the NBA in pro
basketball games. But unlike 30-second commercial spots, these
banners cannot be edited out of footage, assuring each sponsor
an equal amount of rotational time to present their message to
millions of billiard fans on ESPN and ESPN2. |
