Someone with a product does NOT need permission to sell to players. Someone with a product that wants to advertise it on one of my web pages DOES need permission to post their ad on my page. Having a league or a web page does not give everyone with a product or service free reign to advertise on...

If you want someone to take your product seriously, be honest and upfront and show some pride in your product. I don't know if your product will be successful or not, but without a quality presentation or using the proper channels to promote your product, it's not going to gather a whole lot of...

It's interesting that you explain to everyone that you "found" it when your name is listed right on the app when I do a search. I certainly didn't appreciate finding your ad on my league facebook page this morning. If you want to sell a product to our league members, how about giving me a call...

Without the bonus points, teams can just not send in their score sheets at all, I suppose. Web sites publish standings, among other things, and if the score sheets aren't there in a timely manner, the standings won't be accurate. It might seem really silly to award points for printing legibly...

If you are having issues getting in contact with your LO, contact the APA National Office. The number can be found on the back of the APA manual, among other places. They are very good about getting back to league members with questions or concerns, and contacting the LO to address why the calls...

I had to go back through the thread to find where they came up with the $350 figure, and I noticed that the player who spoke to APA finished in 9th place at Nationals. While I'm no expert on this matter and don't wish to speak on behalf of APA regarding this subject, APA does award nicer cues...

As someone in such a powerful position as Mr. Griffin, he shouldn't be offering "opinions" as facts, which is exactly what I'm reading in his posts. It's an embarrassment on his part to make claims that he might be paying out more than APA if he can't back up such claims as fact. An ambassador...

You were right that you probably shouldn't have said anything, Mark. It's posts like this that derail any chance of you being recognized as anything remotely similar to an ambassador to billiards. "I think" and "I am not familiar enough" and "I know I should not say anything" were three very...

<Not to be confused with APA League Operator, as I believe I am much cuter! :) > I actually did as you suggested and went back through an entire division. What I found in my own little test was that the standings really didn't change much at all. However, rescoring already played matches that...

1. Who is to say what the "right strategic play" actually is? You can take the top 10 players in the world, and every single one of them will probably play an 8 ball run out differently than the other. When it comes to winning a game, you generate your own "right strategic play" to make that...

I signed up for AZBilliards in April of '07. Do you really consider that a new account? I can assure you I only have one account here. I can't speak for the other two as I do not know who they are. Just from reading their posts, they do not appear to be the same person.

There isn't currently a warning program in place for LO's when someone who won a Singles Qualifier Board has done something to disrupt their eligibility for a Regional event. Many LO's qualify dozens/hundreds of players for the program twice a year. Attempting to track each and every player...

We do not operate on a different scoring system based on what region we play in. There will probably always be a perception that 4's from one part of the country are better than 4's in another. Some people who lose a match never wish to say they just lost the match. They like to make excuses for...

I can't believe I missed this one previously. Not everything in the BCA is out in the open, Mr. Banger. The following is an exact quote from Mark Griffin's handicapped pool league rules: "Player ratings are determined by a proprietary formula. The formula tracks several factors of each player's...

636-625-8611 is the number to the APA National Office. Players travel where they must to compete in Regional events. APA coordinates events based on the amount of participation in certain areas and then sets up Regional sites. While it may be true that you can't hold one yet, you can certainly...

That's up to each individual LO from what I understand. Contact your LO to find out if they offer the format and what their roster requirements are.

I'm really happy that you found a league that suits all of your wants and needs. But, let me ask you a serious question........ Why aren't you hanging out in a happy go lucky Missouri 8 Ball League thread instead of this APA bashing thread? Is it because you'd rather complain about things you...

Let me get this straight, the president of the BCA is posting in an APA thread falsehoods about the APA and I'm the guilty one? Consider me guilty as charged, I suppose. :confused:

APA has done exactly as you requested, Sherm. They developed a Masters League. This sounds like the exact thing you are looking for. You will never have to break up your team in this format. I haven't responded to you before, mainly because it seems rather obvious to me that you seem pretty...

This is exactly why you should contact your league operator before attempting to do the math. If you don't have all the information, it's a futile effort that will leave all of us wondering what is missing. You mentioned trophies, but you didn't assign a dollar amount. With 700 teams and...
