Does anybody play in or know anything about this league?
Are you looking to join a league, organize a league in your area, or league shopping?
Bump: Nobody knows anything about this?
I hate leagues. Just play a tournament!
I recently purchased a license with NAPA this month for 2 Ohio Counties, and I must say they have solved some many key frustrations that taunt members of other National Amateur League Organizations....

Zack,
The website was not really clear on format from what I could tell, could you help me understand the format for 8 ball and 9 ball.
Is it a match format (ie., race to X versus same person) or round robin format; everyone plays each other from the other team?
If a match format, what are the races to in 8-ball and 9-ball?
How many people play each night?
I looked at the website but really couldn't find answers to these questions.
Thanks for your help.
If you are a low handicap, have no intention of ever improving your game and think the only thing wrong with pool is you are not getting enough of a spot, then this league is for you. Napa pool league is to pool as strip mining is to landscaping. It is based on an Equilizer system with the loser of every match going down and the winner going up. Any above average player ends up as a master player because the good player shy away from 10-2 races. It is for the 3s and 4s from a system like APA. Teams full of 3 s and 4s are winning sessions week after week. They are winning year end tournaments.
The league handicap system is like bowling except instead of getting 90% of your handicap you get more like 130%. The weakest player is often a big favorite in the match against a better player. It's run mostly by weaker players for the benifit of weaker players.
As always, truth is a subjective thing. I play in a NAPA league and really enjoy it. Nothing you describe here happens in my league (and no, I'm not an operator, just a player.)
Don't blame the league for actions of the players. Systems are only perfect if you keep the people out of it.
