And the location, who was also informed by APA, notifies him or provides his contact info to a tracer. Or the individual whose table he worked on notifies him or tells the tracer and they notify him. Then he finds out he may have been exposed. Why does he need to know the name? In case the...

And if they don't know they have it? Following the logic, everyone should restrain from such activities, which is fine, but they're not, so...

C (Current APA procedure) Bob (fake person) gets COVID-19 decides to only tell the APA, then the APA lets everyone know they've been in contact with someone who has COVID-19 and may want to get tested, but doesn't give them Bob's name, something any rational person would understand. Problem...

What, where and when is provided. That's all you need to know. You can feel you 'deserve' to know more all you want, but so far you've said nothing about WHY you need to know that. Try to change my mind, that's how discussion works. If you do, I'll probably take your argument to APA and...

You seem to have an issue with what you need to know (you may have been exposed to someone at location A if you were there on such-and-such date) and what you don't need to know (who it was so you can tear them down, even though they might not have known themselves at the time and did exactly...

Why does 'how' matter? It only depends on that person's self disclosure to SOMEONE, so contact tracing can begin. We may learn of a case with or without knowing a name, the procedure is the same for us either way. Who was there at the time, inform them all, take whatever steps you need to...

We as APA league operators are required to notify the national office when we learn of a player who attended league play with Covid-19. Then we work with their guidance through a process that includes notification and contact tracing, as well as possible shutdowns and schedule changes. As far...

Most providers of electronic payment platforms charge a similar fee for businesses. Using a "friends and family" option for business transactions is not allowed. The exception I know of is Zelle, used by most banks in the US, but then you either break the team fee into individual portions and...

As the seller (of the credit card setup) it's understandable that this is the thought process. But as the consumer (league operator) it looks like this. To pass on the credit card charge to our customers, we would have to raise prices. In our industry, you can't raise prices by 3.5%. For a...

The problem with using numbers like this to demonstrate ineffectiveness is that all they prove is that you can't stop the spread by using things like masks. They don't prove that you can't slow it down. The average droplet size (and hence, the number of viral particles "ingested") goes way...

Seems like an opportunity for a product to me. How about expandable joint protectors? They would have two pieces for each end of the joint, the part that attaches to the cue and the part that is on the "end" of the joint protector (for a logo, photo, whatever). In between you could put any...

And I was assuming that people would know my message meant neither ironic nor haha funny. I know what you meant, sir. My message (and yours, I think) is remain calm and listen to the experts. Overreaction either way will do more harm than good.

Not funny at all. I see it as cause and effect. Those who overreacted are the ones responsible for the shortages now. I'm not in either group. I have what I need for now and trust that suppliers will have some when I need more. In the mean time I shut down league when the officials...

That and most of 8 applies to 9 as well, (most problems found now would be problems in both) so they can leverage the work done for 8 when doing 9, and 8 still applies to a larger audience. Smart software development if you ask me - I don't know why anyone who isn't a troll would even mention...

Which of those two things is not about people? My point was to do what will accomplish your goal depending on what your actual goal is. If you're not interested in the other people, there's no reason to be part of a team. If people are most important and the pool is secondary, a league might...

Leagues (any leagues) are more about people and less about pool. If you only want to play pool and that's all you're paying for, play tournaments. In a single-elimination tournament, the average on the night is two matches played. Double elimination is twice that. In a league it's one match...

The purpose (spirit) of this particular rule is to keep the specialty stuff out of the hands of those who don't know how to use it. That's why it's allowed in masters but not in regular league play. If allowed in regular league all the 2's would go out and buy one and ruin the cloth on some...

The key word here is not "majority" - it's "designed". I don't care how YOU use it, the question I ask is would it be reasonable for "SOMEONE" to use it for the majority of shots in a game of pool. A light cue with a hard leather tip is, in my opinion, reasonable to use for the majority of...

The real issue is that people want to "what if" every rule you write. I guarantee that if you put specific weights, lengths, or tips in the book you would have to be able to measure those values on league night, in a bar, because someone would say "this cue is 15.98 ounces, not 16 as required."...

Not really. There are several different "table factors" in the system now that account for different table sizes, manufacturers, and pocket sizes. It's not "one size fits all". The LO has to know their market and use the right factor. We even have templates for measuring pocket shapes and...
