Anyone have information on how the TAP skill levels are determined? Many players in my area are one to two levels lower in TAP compared to their APA skill level?

Anyone have any information on the TAP method in determining skill levels? Most TAP players in my area are one to two levels below their APA skill level?

I agree with you!!!

Once again, thank you LO for your response. I'm sure the marking of the time outs gives some information to the league operator just like information for E8, 8S, 8WP, 8OB and BR to prevent handicap manipulation but they are not official components of the Equalizer Handicap System. Again, that's...

Interesting, I was told by our League operator that they are not calculated in the Equalizer Handicap System formula, you only keep track of the time outs so no one uses more time outs than they are supposed to use.

First of all, thank you league operator for responding.... I'm a "7", a Captain and I've played in the league over 15 years, and I've never suggested a time-out be recorded in this situation. Your analogy of tossing the ball to someone is not a good analogy. It's more like "if you toss a ball to...

I've been in situation when I'm not 100% sure what I want to do. I'll ask for a time out and let some of my other players talk it over and give opinions. Although I'm the highest ranked player on my team sometimes someone may sees something that I don't. I agree it's also a good teachable moment...

Stumpie71, Yes in rule D it states "if any member of the team suggest a time-out to the shooter, the time-out will charged." If the shooter didn't hear it, it wasn't suggested to the shooter before he shot! What if the player obviously didn't hear the time-out being called before he shot...

You guys are missing the question. If the Captain calls a time out and the player immediately shoots because he did not hear it, is it recorded as an official time out or because the time out actually never occurred, no time out is recorded. I can't find the answer in the rules book, that's why...

This happened in league play. It caused a minor disturbance. The opposing team marked it as a time out, the player being a "4' had no more time outs available. I'm not sure what the official ruling is? My common sense said the time out never occurred. Is the rule different in local league...

A player is about to shoot a shot, the Coach calls time out a second before the player shoots. The player doesn't hear the coach and instantly shoots. Nothing to do with illegal strategy, it happened too fast. Was a time out officially used or because the time out actually never occurred the...

I've been playing for many years but never used a jump cue. I've had shoulder problems for a long time. My rotator cuff has finally been repaired. I've been very good at kicking over the years but recently I've seen several players great jumping ability abuse my safeties. It's time to learn how...

What are the best balls out today? I was planning on buying a new set.

Has anyone's APA league restarted yet? I think our league will have problems starting with social distancing in place in small bars.

AMF Puyat Superbowl The Superbowl certainly used to be the place to go when I lived in the Philippines. I won the in 2004 MSBA Superbowl 9 Ball class A Championship before I moved back to the states. The traffic in Makati was bad then, it's probably so much worse today.

I'm selling my SE-1. Original 2 shafts. The cue has never been used. It's listed today on Ebay for only 24 hours ending tonight (Sunday) 11pm eastern time. Due to unforeseen circumstances I have to sell it. It's a great collector cue for any Meucci enthusiast. I hope someone who appreciates it...

You can but I'd be afraid to lose my cue. It's obvious what it is if your luggage if it's a pool case. It just always seemed safer for me to hide the cue in my luggage and carry my empty case. If the case was lost, the airlines would never reimburse me for the value of my cue.

Anyone who has ever played in a higher level tournament knows the WPA rules (used all over the world) are any ball crossing the long string (center line) is considered a bad lag and cannot win the lag. That's why I was asking for clarification. Hopefully our LO will eventually give out the...

Genus Mr Brown... My 2013/2014 Official Team Manual says on page 48: 1) Lagging, Players lag to see who wins the first break. If the lagged balls make contact during the lag, re-lag. The winner of the lag breaks in the first game and from that point on the winner of each game breaks in the next...

I've flown many times with my cue sticks over the years domestically and internationally. I put my cues in my suitcase well wrapped with cloths or bubblewrap and carry my empty case on the plane. The TSA agents or security in other countries always ask an I tell them the case is empty. It goes...
