It has been an honor to work with Littman Lights and the NW Cup since OX opened. OX aims to continue this tradition in the spirit it was created, rivalry, fair competition, community, and entertainment. Working with Mike Littman over the years made us appreciate the philosophy and work it takes to run this event. We will do our best.
We are open to your comments and concerns as fans, players, vendors and captains.
There is not much runway before November. Time to get game ready!
Dear Northwest pool community,
Acting as the steward for the Northwest Cup for the past 5 years has been a great honor and privilege. But the time has come for me to pass the torch on. In the long-term interest of the event, I felt that OX Billiards was the clear choice to take over that role. Michael Anthony Dominguez and Christian Youngers have been absolutely instrumental in helping to shape this event into what it is today. And I am 100% confident that they will take it to new heights! I understand that there will be comcerns and criticism that the event will not be returning to Oregon this year. But based on what I witnessed in 2021, I know that Team Oregon can win in any locale. I look forward to watching this incredible event as an interested party, and allowing my partisanship to show. Go Oregon! Thank you all for your incredible support for this event for the last 5 years. We could not have done it without YOU, the fans!
Sincerely,
Mike Littman
