RANKING SYSTEM
Playbook: Rules & Regulations
Our competitive ladder where Class A and Class B players challenge each other twice a week to climb the ranks. With alternating challenge rights odd and even days with strict rescheduling rules, the system keeps matches fair, and active. At the end of the semester the Top 5 players will be crowned as Maverick Elite and will receive a gift!!
Highlights the most impressive C Class players. Like the Top Dawg Ranking, Top Rookie also plays twice a week with the same set of rules. At the end of the semester, the Top Rookie player will receive a gift and get the opportunity to move up to the Top Dawg ranking system next semester.

COMING UP
November 222025
At the University of Texas at Arlington, the Mavericks Billiards Club hosts two kinds of tournaments that bring students together for competition and community:
UTA Tournaments
These are monthly, UTA-students-only events designed to sharpen your skills, meet new players, and climb the campus ranks. They keep the fire of competition alive all semester long.
Major Tournaments
Open to students from all Texas schools. More than just a competition, this is a charity tournament benefiting Mission Arlington, where billiards players unite for a cause. Mark your calendars: our first Major Tournament kicks off on September 27, 2025.
