PBIA Article Submission Request
|
To help continue to promote the PBIA and our instructors, Jerry Forsyth with AZBilliards has offered the PBIA a dedicated instructional section on the AZBilliards.com web site. Topics can vary from proper techniques and tips of the trade to billiard etiquette - all with the aim of provinding valuable information to AZBilliards.com readers and highlighting the vast array of knowledge PBIA instructors provide the industry.
In addition, if there's something interesting happening in your local pool room, tournament scene, class room, or your training facility that may not fit within the parameters above, send it to us anyway and maybe we'll include it!
What's in it for you? We'll include your name, photo and email address if your article gets chosen. Please submit your 500 word instructional article and photo to rob@pbia-instructor.com. |

Double Check PlayBetterBilliards.com
|  When was the last time you visited the PlayBetterBilliards.com web site?
The new web site offers consumers and students access to leave comments and questions for each active instructor on the site.
All instructors are encouraged to ask their students to leave feedback on their personal profile at PlayBetterBilliards.com. There is no better advertising than word of mouth, and there are no better mouths to help us promote the PBIA than those of your students. This new feature on the web site will allow current and future students to gain a more in depth understanding about our PBIA Instructors.
We recommend that all instructors check the site regularly for feedback, questions from students, and to ensure that your contact information is accurate. |

PBIA Instructional Videos & Video-Clips | |
Help us and we'll help you...There are many current PBIA Instructors who have recorded and released videos and video clips either with a formal DVD or through youtube.
We are collecting video clips for our PBIA video-stock library. We will use the instructional clips to continually promote the PBIA and a new consumer membership program we will be announcing in the near future.
If you have any DVDs that you would like to have considered for this effort, please send them to:
Billiard Congress of America
c/o PBIA Video

Broomfield, CO 80021
If you are sharing a video clip that you have already posted to youtube, please send us the hyperlink along with an original (editable .mov or .mp4) file to rob@pbia-instructor.com, with PBIA Video in the subject line.
If we choose your video, you will receive credit and exposure for the material.
