I pulled up our local apa facebook page this evening. Something i rarely do as i dont care for facebook at all. I was just interested in the results of our 9 ball world qualifier monday night. Came across an interesting letter addressed to our members. It seems our local office was inudated...

I have played on more than one league the same week on occasion. Once i played apa...napa...and a money league using bcapl rules and scoring system. Another time i played apa...usapl and tap the same week. I never had a problem adjusting from one set of rules to another each night i played...

I have never lost an 8 ball match to a 2 but have lost more 9 ball matches to them than i care to admit.

Fellas i am so close to quitting 9 ball. Due to handicaps i had not played 9 ball in 7 weeks until last week. Our 8 had to leave early before he could play and i talked the opposing captain to letting me play 9 ball twice to get some matches in. So he throws a 3 at me first. I have said it...

I dont think a lucky leave by my opponent causes me to go full tilt as much as all the slop shots prior to the lucky leave. Its probably due to i grew up playing in bars where you call everything. I consider myself one of the better kickers in league...at my handicap. I was playing an 8 in 9...

I have commented on this subject several times in the how yall doing in league thread. I play apa double jeapordy in which you play both 8 and 9 ball the same night I am a 5 in 8 ball and a 6 in 9 ball. Just looking at my handicaps you would think i am better at 9 ball than 8 but thats not...

Like i said ...i dont mean to be all negative because most people really have a good time in cities. Jist saying there is always a bad apple in every bunch. I have played in the cities about 9 times and have only encountered serious drama a couple times but have encountered people playing...

Practicing on tables you have never played on before is a good idea. Remember though that there will be others who have possibly never played on them also. You will undoubtedly encounter players that you may have faced during the year that are playing at a higher level than you have ever seen...

Congrats and good luck in your cities. Well tonight i finally faced another 5 after 2 weeks in a row of facing 4's. I jumped out to a 3 -0 lead and was on the hill. Then it seemed i lost focus like i sometimes do when its apparent the match is not competitive. He won 2 in a row before i got...

Apa masters might be a good xit for you. No handicap race to 7. Jump cues allowed. Real pool for gou purists.

Been busy and have not posted the last two weeks so here goes. Last week the opposing team threw a 4 on me in 8 ball. So it was a 4-3 race . he won the lag and came out shooting like a 6. He was up 2-0 and on the hill in 3 innings. So i had to start playing safes and slow him down. I won...

Edited to add that in the first situation i was asked to have a test also so that it would not appear that the other supervisor was being singled out.

Think so ? Drug tests are used all the time to get rid of people due to personal vendettas or when they don't have just cause to out right fire some one. I used to be a supervisor for a pretty large utility contractor. One day i get a call from our regional manager telling me that i have to...

Are you sure about that ? 😆 I play apa double jeapordy. Thsts where we play both 8 and 9 ball the same night. There are guys who i play that play 9 ball e actly like the op described. They usually beat me pretty bad in 9 ball. I usually beat them 4-0 or 4-1 in 8 ball. So who is the better...

I had 8 ball tri cups yesterday. We had a bye the first round and the second round started out bad. Real bad . I threw a 3 and they countered with a 4. They won 3-0 for a 3-0 score. They threw another 4 and i countered with a 4. They won 3-0 for another 3-0 score. So they are up 6-0 and...

I have not postee latwly due to entertaining out of town guests. Lets see if i can recall everything that has transpired since my last post. We went in to the last night of the session in first place in both 8 and 9 ball. The whole team stunk to hi heaven. No one won but me. I managed to eke...

Playing im a captains vegas qualifier tournament today. Got bored sitting here waiting for our next round and thought i would let yall know how its going. I picked up a 4 ididmt know in order to meet the 15 handicap limit with 3 players. Have a 5 and me as a 6 so the 4 made 15. First round...

Nice going. I think i have earned only one of those in my 12 years of playing.

Team chemistry makes a big difference in enjoying the league. I mentioned some time ago that i kicked 3 players off my team at the start of this session. A whole lot less drama and stress now. We really kicked it up a notch lately in 8 ball. Last week we faced rhe team that 2 of my previous...
