Why This League
I wanted a pool league that felt like home: a genuinely welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ community and anyone who wants to play alongside us. Walking into a Host Location on league night should feel like walking in among friends.
About the League
Meet Your League Operator
BreakOUT League is run by a real person, not a corporation: here's who's behind it and why this league exists.
Travis Auch
Founder & League Operator, BreakOUT League
I'm part of the LGBTQ+ family myself, and I've been playing competitive pool for about 5 years, competing in all kinds of tournaments along the way. I've also spent over 10 years playing in Pride Sports League, and that experience is really what sparked this one: I wanted to build something for the pool community that felt just as welcoming.
BreakOUT League was built with a lot of different players in mind: brand new to the game, experienced regulars, and folks coming over from other leagues. We started from the rules everyone already knows, then made them our own with a fun twist.
Professionally, I work in software development and robotic process automation, so when it comes to the technology behind this league, I take real pride in making sure everything works the way it should, and I'm always taking feedback to keep improving scoring and tournaments.
What I Believe In
Room for everyone: brand new players, experienced regulars, and folks bringing experience from other leagues. Good sportsmanship, rules that are ours (with a fun twist), and a league that keeps getting better because I actually listen to feedback on scoring and tournaments.
