BCA OPEN 9-Ball Championships Rosters

Since the BCA OPEN 9-Ball Championships first began airing o­n ESPN in 1999, it earned a then-record 64 hours of airtime in 2003 and o­nly recently surpassed that benchmark with 65 hours scheduled to date for the 2004 event segments.
Of the current hours, viewer ratings have jumped from a .29 average rating (253,469 households) for the debut showings of all four rounds in June, to a peak of .49 (431,161) for a single showing of the men’s final in mid-July. ESPN’s benchmark rating average for all taped sporting events is .20, making billiards a market standout for both the channel and official BCA sponsors, who win big with a high return o­n their ad investment.

Official sponsors may display their company name, logo, phone number and/or website URL in 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.
