I recommend doing this in the 9-ball career as the 9-ball career is quicker gameplay-wise than the 8-ball career.
There are three challenges for each non-qualifying round in each tournament.
The various challenges will be varieties of the following:
Jump Shot - Pot a ball whilst using a jump shot. Note that it will ONLY count as a Jump shot if the cue ball actually jumps a ball. This will not count if you just make the cue ball jump on the table, but not over a ball.
Bank Shot - Pot a ball which target ball hits a cushion (NOT pocket edges) and bounces into a pocket.
Kick Shot - Pot a ball where the cue ball has first come off of a cushion (NOT pocket edges) before hitting the target ball, which has then been potted.
Combo Shot - Pot a ball using a 'plant'. E.g. Cue Ball hits the 1-ball, which is the target ball, and the 1-ball bounces into the 2-ball, and the 2-ball gets potted.
Swerve Shot - Pot a ball by swerving the cue ball around another ball to get to the target ball. This will not count if you just make the cue ball swerve on the table, but not around a ball that is in the way of the target ball.
Score - Have a total score of the given amount by the end of the match. This is where you CAN use jump shots, swerve shots, kick shots, bank shots, and all other manners of tricks to boost your score, even if you don't need to jump a ball, swerve a ball, or bounce off of a cushion.
Shot Score - Get the given amount of points in a single shot. The highest requirement I've seen for a shot score is 10,000 points. The best way I found to do this was to use a jump & swerving shot to bounce off of either end cushion to perform a Combo Shot. This gets around 13,000 points if it's a good shot.
Pot Streak - Highest I've seen for this is 7. All you have to do is pot the given number of balls without missing a shot or fouling.
Note that challenges will NOT be completed if you do not win the game/match. You must win the game/match that you complete the challenge in.
Furthermore, when you complete a 'Final' in an area, and you've done all the challenges, do NOT worry if the tournament stats says 12/15 for challenges - it's just not counting the three you've done in the final. However, if you go back to the stats page for the final after you're back in the match selection, you can see that the challenges have indeed counted.
Hope this helps.

And with that out of the way,good luck to you too
Does the aiming style or difficulty you choose affect points? Did you all use extended aiming and easy AI when going for these challenges?
I did all my challenges on easy w/ extended & as far as I remember it doesn't affect the points since it's the difficulty of the shot that gives the points besides that you need to do ALL CHALLENGES on the same difficulty & some like Jump shots are as good as impossible without extended aim.I hope it helps,good luck :)

Forgot to change the setting to allow jump shots can I change at the end of the tour ?
Being that it's been quite awhile since I finished my last achievement in this game I haven't played it since but if (&that's a big IF) I remember it right, you should be able to change this at any time but unless you get a challenge that require a jump shot you don't have to change it & if you do get a jump shot challenge then you'll have to replay that match any way so simply change it when you can & leave it on ALWAYS since there's absolutely no reason what so ever to take it of... you're gonna need it & it's not gonna affect the AI difficulty in any way so...And with that out of the way,good luck to you too

This solution should hopefully maximize your chances of getting this achievement (and ease your worries about the 40,000 point challenge).
For how specific challenges work, refer to Dwaggienite's solution.
When I read the comments and talked to people, everyone got me worried about the 40,000 points challenge. But this challenge is easy. You don't even need to get all 40K in one frame, but rather the whole match, which can last up to a max of 3 frames (lose 1 and win 2). All points you get are added to your total match score at the end (This has been tested and confirmed). Just make sure you ultimately win the match.
You should be able to easily get 40,000 points in 1 to 1.5 frames. Here is how:
1. First of all, of course use extended aiming and play on easy. This needs to be set when you start the career and can't be changed after you've begun.
2. Play 8-Ball. NOT 9-Ball. In 9-Ball you are forced to play the next ball in the sequence, which limits your shot options significantly. In 8-Ball you can choose which ball you will pot next and you have many of the AI's balls to swerve around and jump over.
3. Learn how to swerve and jump:
A good starting point for jumps is to press
all the way, and set your power to around 75% (lock it with 
). Then play around with the settings until you have the perfect shot. You can also add front/back spin (
/
).
For swerves you just add a spin with
or 
to what you did above for the jump. (To get a good swerve you need to have a jump in your shot.)
4. This point is specifically for the get "X points in one match" challenges: Don't play the ball closest to you. Try to set up a shot that includes a jump as well as a swerve and traverses the entire table. Preferably, the ball that you are aiming for will be behind some other balls. Don't be afraid to bounce of a bank as well for a kick shot bonus. All this shouldn't be a problem with the extended aiming assist on.
Hope this helps. I got this the first time I tried.
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that some people had Tournament 6, Round 1 require you to get 40.000 points in 1 frame. This was not the case for me. That round only required 30.000 points and Tournament 6, Round 2 (which has 2 frames), required 40.000 points.

Maybe the challenges is random? I did not have any challenges that required either 30k or 40k. Rather I had two times a single 10k shoot and a 50k overall score in a match. The 50k was in the final, so had plenty of frames to do it on.
Anyway, very good solution though. Was very helpful with the explanation on how to do the jump shot and curve shot. Was stumped on that for a bit, but you explained it very good and made it very easy to understand

There are 8 tests in total . They can be seen in the game pause menu when progressing through a career. Here's what their terms mean:
Jump Shot - to pocket the ball in such a way that the cue ball jumps over the ball and pockets the desired one. Simply jumping off the table does not count.
Bank Shot - to pocket the ball not immediately, but when it bounces off the board into the pocket.
Kick Shot - To pocket a ball when the cue ball first bounces off the side (NOT the edge of the pocket) and then hits the target ball, which is then pocketed.
Combo Shot - score a ball using another (second) ball. For example, the cue ball hits the 1st ball, which is the target ball, hits the 2nd ball, which is pocketed.
Swerve Shot - shoot a ball while going around another ball standing in the way. Those. The cue ball must circle the other ball after being hit to reach the target ball. Simply causing the cue ball to deviate from its intended path rather than around a ball that is in the target's path will not count.
Score – you need to reach the total score of a given amount of points by the end of the match. To score as many points as possible, you need to use all possible techniques, including jump shots, dodge shots, off the boards and others.
Shot Score – you need to get a specified number of points in one hit. The maximum requirement for this challenge can be up to 10,000 points. To do this, you can use a spinning jump kick to bounce off any side of the table and perform a combo kick, which will be worth about 13,000 points.
Pot Streak - you need to make a series of shots in a row without missing or fouling. The maximum value is 7.
Tests are considered completed only if the game (game) is won!
