California continues to grow!

We’re excited to announce the launch of UPL Sacramento, with Oscar & Desiree Dominguez becoming the league operators for the region.

Oscar and Desiree are two people who know the pool world inside and out, and after experiencing Ultimate Pool firsthand at our Kansas City event earlier this year, they knew they wanted to become part of what we’re building.

Now they’re bringing Ultimate Pool League to Sacramento, creating even more opportunities for players in Northern California to experience our fast-paced format and compete for the huge prizes on offer at our National Grand Finals.

Oscar & Desiree shared why they decided to bring UPL to Sacramento:

“After our first event in Kansas City this year, we immediately knew what UPL is doing is different. It’s a player-friendly league that focuses on growth over making a profit. The league is still in its infancy compared to others, yet the payouts are astronomically better.

We are huge supporters of anyone wanting to make our sport better. We see that with UPL, and it’s a no-brainer for us to continue with that vision.”

We’re incredibly excited to have Oscar and Desiree joining the Ultimate Pool League family and leading the growth of UPL Sacramento.

With their experience, passion for the sport, and commitment to the players, there are exciting times ahead for the pool community in Sacramento.

🔥 Sacramento, it’s your turn!
