I shoot in ACS League.. and city league. One reason I play in the city league is because of the money. My team won 1st place last session and me and 3 other guys got to split up 2700.00. My team has won the last 5 sessions for the ACS in our pool hall against maybe 8 other teams and it only pays out like 150.00 per man...which sux
I play in leagues 6 nights a week. Only reason that I don't play all 7 days, is because I only have 6 Dead Stroke shirts!:grin-square:
I do play leagues, so I am only making fun of myself also. I play a local league here. It qualifies us for BCA, VNEA, ACS, and the leagues state tournament, which pays up to $10,000 for teams.
Somehow I got talked into play on a UPA 8 ball league, what sold me was big tables and its at my home room and is in house but the payouts look like they will be crappy. Good thing is I have yet to lose a single game in the first 2 weeks so far, will see how this Wednesday goes. I am a 5 in the league, not sure how I got made a 5 but I am sure that wont last long. :grin-square:
I shoot in the APA im a skill level 7 in 9 ball and 6 in 8 ball. I have fun doing it but in all seriousness as a better player I dont suggest it. for example. as a 7 i have to pockett 55 balls and if you play a 1,2,or 3. they have to go to 14,19,and 25. wiht no push outs or jump cues being allowed. I also play in amasters league now which i love.
im a 7 in apa 8 ball, so i understand what you are talking about. the other issue with apa is that being a 7 kind of makes you a team killer because of the 23 rule.
i also shoot in a tap league where im still getting away with being a 6. much better and with the 25 rule it's much easier to keep a decent team together.
I think that pool league play makes up 10% of my play as it consists of 9 to 10 games depending if I get a chance at the table.
As far as what percentage of me shoots on a league. I would say most times 100%, sometimes a little less when I leave my brain somewhere else. :rotflmao:
I've been playing in a local house 8-ball league for the last 6 seasons, or past two years. Playing in the league has raised my game and sustained my passion for the sport.
i play in both APA 8 ball and 9 ball leagues, gives me something to do two nights a week, it is helping my game since i always try to play higher rated players.
