Quezon city: The Sharks Billiards Association (SBA) Season 2, featuring two new teams, will kick off at the Sharks Arena and Sports Bar in Quezon City on Nov. 10. The Makati Titans and Para±aque Kings will join Season 1 champion Taguig Stallions, Manila MSW Mavericks, Quezon City Dragons, and Negros Occidental Pillars in the event that showcases the best Filipino cue artists on a national stage.

According to Philippines News Agency, with six teams now in the league, expect fiercer rivalries, fresh faces, and the same world-class level of play that has made the SBA the gold standard of Philippine cue sports. "Season 2 is all about evolution for both the league and the athletes playing. We're proud to welcome new cities into the fold as we continue giving Filipino cue artists a professional platform to grow, compete, and inspire the next generation," SBA founder Hadley Mariano said in a press statement issued Friday.

Making his professional debut with the Para±aque Kings is Dart Bonode. "Playing for SBA means more than competition," said the 19-year-old student from De La Salle University. "It's an opportunity to learn from the best and prove that young players like us can stand with veterans. I'm proud to represent Para±aque and be part of this growing community."

The addition of the Makati Titans and Para±aque Kings follows SBA's nationwide scouting tours launched earlier this year, aimed at discovering emerging talents and expanding the league's reach across the country. These tours underscore SBA's commitment to building a professional ecosystem for Philippine cue sports.
