    APA e-mails are up, is the APA in trouble?

    There are other options. An unintentional bug in one place that has nothing to do with security is one of them. Perhaps the code to toggle the state was in the middle of a code block that got deleted for some other fix, and the developer just missed it. If it's generated code, that can happen...

    APA e-mails are up, is the APA in trouble?

    I asked why I can't uncheck that box. The reply was "The un-check box isn't working right now. We have a bug fix coming for it with our next release." So there you have it.

    APA e-mails are up, is the APA in trouble?

    Because I know you didn't ask, I asked for you. All "new" apps go through a lifecycle like this - lots of bugs that have to be worked out. I don't know why you find it so hard to believe, it seems to be the way software is developed now, very little testing, let the user find the bugs...

    APA e-mails are up, is the APA in trouble?

    I think APA is just trying to communicate more, now that they have a bigger presence on mobile devices with the app and soon-to-be electronic scoring. You might contact them and let them know if you think it's too much, as I think they're trying to find a good balance.

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    While that's true now (and the 250,000 number is accurate - I've got 2,000 myself and I'm just one of about 300 LOs), it wasn't always so. It's been "win your way there" since the beginning, so size is NOT the reason for it. But it's a good thing it's that way now. I agree with you though -...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    I suppose if you divide $1.8 million by the population of a single room it would sound more impressive. You got any of those? Casinos give kickbacks to make money. Advertisers advertise to make money. Nothing goes anywhere without money. You wouldn't even have tables to play on if...

    Is playing in a league really worth it?

    I came out with it before I ever ran a single league. If you can't be bothered to look it up that's fine. My answer isn't exactly fair, though, because I don't tell people here who I am. You can think it's silly if you want. What's funny is I started the APA franchise here more than 20...

    Is playing in a league really worth it?

    "Inferior" and "higher cost", yet it keeps growing and the so-called "superior" and "lower cost" products can't come close. That's the same as calling consumers stupid. What is it exactly that you've done for pool? Oh, that's right, "plenty".

    Is playing in a league really worth it?

    The same way Chris replied. If more people like the other product, it must be silly and they must be stupid. You don't need to hunt down my bylaws, you don't need to know my revenue. It's there for anyone who really needs to know, but those who just want to use the fact that I make money to...

    Is playing in a league really worth it?

    Trump took advantage of the system we use to elect presidents. People are not stupid, but maybe you answered the question unknowingly. Maybe APA treats people like people and your league treats them like they're stupid. I see it all the time from APA bashers - if you can't play pool well...

    Is playing in a league really worth it?

    What's your point? He sits there and dogs APA, but the fact remains that more people pay their money to play APA than do his "puny" league - if that's not ROI, then what is it? Oh, and my revenue is on page one of my bylaws - anyone can see how much I make, and they STILL choose to play...

    Is playing in a league really worth it?

    I'm curious, from what perspectve are they (we) cutting it? Why do YOU think APA is so successful? Like it or not, they are.

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    Not the least of which is more than 20 years experience running leagues and tournaments.

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    You say it's a problem, but unless someone has a better solution (and no, saying "do better" is not a solution) it will be that way. I've found over the years that most of those to whom this happens deserve it.

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    Because he didn't post it as fact and say something like "none of the truth matters."

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    If you don't know the tables in your region, sure. But APA has come up with a tool LOs can use to distinguish these tables and assign different table factors to them. A good LO knows the tables in his/her region and has already done most of that work. Handicaps that DON'T consider a table...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    If you're going to say things like this, you probably should have your facts straight. If a team is DQ'ed at the Championship Event, the LO is given the choice of a fine or loss of a slot in the next Event and is required to undergo training on handicap review. The fine is nowhere near $25K...

    Is playing in a league really worth it?

    I agree - if all you want is monetary ROI, don't join APA. In fact, if you aren't one of the best players in your area, your best ROI in ANY league system is negative. There's no good monetary reason to play in a league. If you want more from your league experience, APA may be the league for...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    Spoken like a true higher SL player and one who thinks nobody ever cheats. Where's the incentive to shoot an 18-2 match if 13-7 or 12-8 will do? Also, the 3-0 for winning just two games of 8-Ball is an incentive to win the first two games, not the first and fourth. It makes every game count...

    APA Needs to STOP Re-Ranking Players During Touraments

    No I'm not. Can you tell me who's honest and who's dishonest ahead of time? That's kind of my point - if I knew which were the dishonest ones ahead of time you wouldn't see them IN the tournament. Until that happens and as long as I have dishonest people in my tournaments, the honest ones...
