I am captain of a masters team that finished 3rd in last years national tourney. We had one guy who only played in the masters division. This session we have 2 guys who are only in the masters division. Unless your local area is making a rule, there is no national rule that you have to play...

I went ahead and purchased one too. $125 for a break cue isnt a bad price, I shall see how it performs.

Your LO probably paid the $25 bucks themselves cause they do not get any of that money, it all goes to St. Louis to the National office. Unfortuantley, the national APA office is too large to hear about stories like this so it is up to the LO to take matters into their own hands and do the...

It is a pool league. It is not a tourney. Nowhere does it state that there is a 100% payout of even 50% payout. The league operator is using that money to run their business, advertize, web site fees, and it is their living. Plus they have to put money aside to send teams to Las Vegas in...

Might want to try queensboro.com, I use them for my pool team shirts and a golf event I play in. Really good prices and will work with your own design. Check them out.

Congrats on making it. From my experience, the first couple of days of the tourney are shoot, wait a few hours, shoot, wait a few hours, shoot....etc. That really cuts into the day of doing anything else. The event is modified single elimination so you will at least make it 2 rounds of play...

A bunch of Gainesville Florida teams made it this year. I will be going with my wife whos ladies team won. Alas my two teams didnt make it so I will be cue caddie for this one....but there are always minis!!!!

Nice looking cue. I bet it will play really well too.

I know there is a bunch of APA bashing on here but I like it. IMO it is a mix of beginners league and players league. You might not want to run up against some of the better APA players in our league. Those are the people I enjoy playing week in, week out.

This is spot on. Playing in the APA, if your any good you have a few not so good players so you can play and still stay under the 23 rule. I have had multiple low ranking players get upset when I have called a time out to stop them from making a horrible decision that could cost them the...

Wow, your league opperator sucks. They should just input the numbers in the computer and print out what it spits out. There is not supposed to be all this personel evaluation on the local level. You might want to just email the national office and see what they have to say.

If your up for a bit of travel, there is Lake City, FL. On Mondays and Thursdays they have a $10 tourney that brings out some good players. Also a bit of side action going on. This weekend, there is the Art of Billiards Monthly Tourney for $25 entry. $500 guaranteed for first place and there...

espn3.com has every match. kind of way off topic of pool tho?

You must have went to Smokehouse billiards on 501. Nice joint with some nice tables but damn are there Nits everywhere. I used to live in MB and would only really get action on occasion--and I am no great player but will jump up to play when I feel right. I go back every year on vacation (dad...

I have been playing for about 10 years or so and 4 in leagues and this is the first person I have packed up and walked on. I was not trying to infer this is a common occurrence.

I like the idea of a fine to the LO of a team who gets DQ'd for sandbagging. It is ultimatley the LO's fault that these teams make it that far before getting caught. I think that the APA does a pretty good job on the merits of what they have at all levels. That is coming from someone with a...

Thats what i was thinking.

I am at the point in my pool game where I am just learning to avoid this kind of stuff. Man is it difficult. It is easy to get into a conversation or let someone get in between your ears and you are done. I think that is why ipods are so popular.

See, it is really interesting situation, how to handle having to play someone you despise. Sounds to me everyone plays it different.
