One of these days I might figure out what all these ratings and points you guys talk about are and how all that works. Maybe. Some of ya'll have a lot to keep up with...lordy!
well i have to admit that score keeping in apa is more involved than other leagues. i honestly believe all the info we put down is an effort to prevent sand bagging. its like any thing else...once you get used to it it becomes no big deal.
apa 8 ball is pretty simple.
if you win by shut out you get 3 points. your opponent gets 0
if you win but your opponent wins at least 1 rack you get 2 points . your opponent gets 0
if you win and your opponent gets on the hill you get 2 points and your opponent gets 1.
apa 9 ball is a points based game like bcapl 8 ball. the difference is the scoring. in apa your score is based on a sliding chart provided on the score sheet.
who ever reaches the points required based on their s/l 1st wins the match. the score is based on how many points you held your opponent to.
lets just use a s/l 5 since that is what i am. if my opponent is a 5 also he has to reach 38 points before i do to win the match.
if my opponent holds me to less than 7 points he wins 20-0
if i get 7-10 points he wins 19-1
11-14 points he wins 18-2
it goes on down to 12-8.
and like any other league ...the team with the highest score after all matches are played wins.
i hope that clarifies what we are talking about when we state score concerning apa.
napa is pretty easy to keep score compared to apa and their on line scoring system automatically totals up the scores for you.
some examples of napa scoring.
20-0 for a shutout
14 if you win but your opponent wins at least 1 rack.
3 points if you lose but you won at least 1 rack.
1 extra point each for b&r...8 on the break...9 on the snap...rackless
