    Playing APA

    I agree with you that the APA appeals more to the beginner level players than the BCA pool league and nationals can be quite an experience. The BCA format is more for advanced players, and that's why so many outgrow the APA. Where I'd differ from you is that the BCA pool league appeals to the...

    TAP pool leagues add 35 new licensees

    Really??? They banned you for asking that question? That sounds a bit too hard to swallow.

    Bca vs Apa

    Wow! You are way off based on this one! For starters, you ask a question and then answer it wrongly. I wouldn't be surprised if you now defend your own wrong answer in the near future. :p That is one of the nice advantages of the BCA Pool League is that local league play is flexible to...

    The Arizona Rating System

    Of course wild ball systems can be a viable alternative for 9-Ball style games. They do that here, and it's amazing how well it works.

    Home Table - APA or BCA rules?

    Easy. I'd say BCA Pool League rules of course. Most people prefer call pocket. APA rules are generally not used anywhere else.

    The inevitable result of "excessive skill" in a handicapped league

    Now, I'll provide comparable answers replacing APA with USAPL. 1) There are many non-handicapped leagues out there and they do well already. Whether that be some BCA Pool Leagues or even local pool leagues or heck even the APA has one. They focus on allowing players to play their best pool...

    Local pool hall asked me to run league and tourneys. Little help & Questions

    Look, this approach is getting nowhere fast... This thread was initiated asking about leagues, and the OP specifically excluded the APA league. My initial response provided answers to the OP's questions regarding the USA Pool League and the BCA Pool League. In response to my post, you...

    Local pool hall asked me to run league and tourneys. Little help & Questions

    Responding to your late edit here. Thank you. That's exactly the difference that I was pointing to originally! In the APA, when exceeding the hard cap 23 handicap limit, now your APA team is limited to 4 or less players, where the 5th player doesn't play and must forfeit instead. Whereas I...

    Local pool hall asked me to run league and tourneys. Little help & Questions

    Here are simple straightforward answers to put the matter to rest... So, first let's keep things straight. Those are twisted words that you're saying that I'm saying. In reality, that's not what I said. In the hard limit structure that you reference, which is used by the APA, if your 5 APA...

    Local pool hall asked me to run league and tourneys. Little help & Questions

    Look, not looking to get into a pissing match, which can happen too often in forum settings. I see a lot of double speak in the response. To clarify, for example at APA nationals ALL TEAMS must play under the 23 handicap. If you want to say OR imply differently, please show me some official...
