Yesterday kicked off the beginning of the Legends and Champions Pool Tour on the West Coast of the United States. The tour began in the San Diego area and will travel the West Coast ending the tour in Tacoma, Washington.

The tour will visit new places as well as the usual spots. The tour has changed somewhat but will still be great as usual. Johnny Archer and Nick Varner will be the Stars of the tour. Nick has eight world championships under his belt as well as the reputation of being the only person to win back to back US Open titles. Nick will show off a few trick shots and stroke shots during an exhibition stop on the tour.

Archer will be playing a mini challenge race to seven match against a local pro or possibly Nick. Fans will also be able to meet with the pros for pictures and autographs during the tour. Each stop will also offer a Pool School which has seen changes as well.

The Pool Schools will be more advanced this year and players will be reminded of what was taught last in short and then the school will move to something new. New techniques will also be featured to teach kicking, breaking and aiming systems.
