	From The Publisher Billiards Digest.com On-line Billiards Magazine
		The new BCA - the Billiard Cuesports Alliance.
		In a nutshell, the Billiard Cuesports Alliance is a rogue amateur league system formed in late March as a knee-jerk response to efforts by the Billiard Congress of America to find a suitable buyer for its own 26-year-old, 60,000-player league program.
		That the IOC states its purpose is to "carry on the vital and positive role of the [Billiard Congress of America] in promoting and managing organized competition" should be viewed as arrogant and insulting to the BCA, which selflessly fueled the league system for 26 years.
