    Having played apa for 10 years and being a capatain for 9 years and have 1600 matches so far i am well aware of the call goes to the shooter rule. As a result of having made a few fouls over the yearz since my injury occured i try to be very careful when shooting. I have seen instances where...

    Tell me how crazy I am.....

    I did kind of the same thing though it was not my intention at the time. Sold a 2,500 cue and bought a used meucci gambler for 200 and spent the rest towards the purchase of a pickup. Then i traded a fairly new adams helmstetter balabushka gb 1 for a predator blak 4 that i had given away to my...

    Cue popularity by region

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    I have also thought the same as you celo about how you win is never taken into account . Take my match against that 7 in vegas i mentioned earlier. Some details are fuzzy but some a re clear as day. He broke and ran 4 balls and played a safe on the 5. I kicked at the 5 at warp speed as the...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    While an accurately filled out scoresheet can come close to rating a player it is blind to several factors regarding the outcomes of matches. An observer can keep track of several things that determine how well someone is playing ....such things as how many bih's a player recieved......how...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    The reason officials watch certain players is because the scoresheets don't tell the whole story sometimes and there is nothing lime the good old eyeball test in determining exactly how well some one is playing. After skunking my first opponent in vegas i had an observer watching every one of...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    Although its a given new. Males start as a 4 Apa has what they call a known player clause when new players become menbers. You can start a new player at a higher rating based on thier known ability to play. There was a guy who joined a team one night that we were facing. I knew him well as we...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    Its been said many times on here apa is not for everyone. I guess its true for a guy who cwn run a 100 but is only an apa 6. Hell i am a 6 and i cwnt run a rwck let alone a 100. Wtf is a 100 ball runner doing to only be an apa 6 ?

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    I do not think an apa representative needs to come on here and explain their actions to anyone....particularly to non members. If they chose to post on here it would cause a feeding frenzy of epic proportions from the league hating mob. Threads like this are exactly why mark griffin chose to...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    The net is that the apa is for anyone who wants to play pool. Its various formats are gea ed for anyone from a new player that cannot run two balls starting with bih all the way up to pro level players such as brian parks and that is why its the most succesfull league in the country. .

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    I can view ve you a logical reason. Most apa rules were in force way before apa was formed and apa adopted those rules and has stuck with them . in my opinion other leagues are the ones that has dumbed down pool and made it easier to run out. Now i hate slop myself so dont think i am...
