  • The B.C. Open was a pool tournament played annually at the Holiday Inn Arena in Binghamton, New York. The event was created and promoted by professional player and promoter . Pinkowski was a Johnson City, New York native. The tournament commenced in the same week as the B.C. Open golf tournament.

The event ran until 1990. During the 1987 B.C. open Jean Balukas was scheduled to play in both the men's and women's events. After arriving at the tournament she learned that there was a dress code for the ladies and not for the men. She did not have formal attire with her and realizing how important a figure she was to the sport she protested the dress code and after a vote by the other participants was not able to play in the women's division. She was hurt by the fact that she was trying to stand up for a cause and the other women, including personal friends, voted against her playing and held the event anyway. (en)
