Information
Bay Area Carrom Club is pleased to announce the next carrom tournament, to be held in Fremont on saturday August 28th 2010. With all the talk about the upcoming Carrom World Cup in Virginia, we thought we would keep the excitement abuzz in this part of the country by celebrating with our own local tournament. Besides, the USCA needs our help raising funds for the World Cup. They are a non-profit organization that is entirely run by volunteers who are dedicated to promoting carrom in the US. Hence, all proceeds from this tournament will be donated to USCA towards their world cup funds. So, here we go -
