The 2024 edition of the Eastern Canadian 9-Ball Championships marked 31 years for the event. The host halls this year were Doolys Elmwood Dr and Doolys Mountain Rd in Moncton.
More than 170 players began play on Saturday in Round Robin play. Races were to 6, with each player in a bracket playing a set against every other player in the bracket. The 4 players in each bracket would move on to stage 2, 64 player double elimination bracket, with the final 16 players being redrawn into single knockout.
