This is a tentative schedule. Times may change based on total entries.
To be eligible to compete at MOMA, all players must be current members of a MOMA sponsored league. See a list of our MOMA members here. You must play 8 separate weeks and a minimum of 32 games. Players must be 21 years of age or older. All teams must be from the same league operator's system. No cross vending. See additional eligibility information on Pool Tournament Eligibility PDF below.
Any players petitioning to move up or down a level must do so by emailing their League Operator. If your operator supports the move, they will send an email to MOMA and then you will be moved. But you need to go through your operator first.
We look forward to seeing everyone in 2026!
MOMA will be setting up room blocks at these hotels. Once we have all of that information confirmed, we will post it here.
