Congrats Joel!

Looks like our newly designed Survivors format is working great!

06/13/2026

The progress we've made in transforming Chalksta into something truly exceptional has been remarkable. That's a fact we're incredibly proud of. The value it brings as a game-changing platform for building and managing pool leagues across Canada and the U.S. is undeniable—for league operators and players alike.

That said, we're still a small team, and the journey hasn't been without its challenges. Not everything has gone perfectly, and we've learned a lot along the way. In a strange way, it's reassuring to see that even organizations as established as the APA have faced many of the same hurdles. It reminds us that growth, innovation, and continuous improvement come with challenges for everyone.
