A Best in Billiards Award is designed to be for pool and billiards what the Grammy Awards are for music—a respected symbol of excellence, achievement, and lasting influence.

​

The award recognizes the very best players, instructors, manufacturers, products, publications, broadcasters, events, and industry leaders. It honors more than a single victory or moment of popularity. Recipients are selected based on the full strength of their accomplishments, professional reputation, innovation, historical importance, and impact on the sport.

​

Winning a Best in Billiards Award places a recipient among an elite group whose work has helped define the game. It represents recognition from within the billiards industry and celebrates a legacy that deserves to be remembered.

​

Just as a Grammy identifies excellence in music, a Best in Billiards Award identifies excellence in pool.
