I think the problem is the Calcutta is viewed as illegal gambling in many states. The room owner would possible fines, loss of liquor license and possible business license. Too much to risk for most.

I can only speak from experience in my area. You play on what the host location has. In my area locations mostly have 9' tables, so that is what we play on. The upper level and national events are played on 7' tables. You would have to confirm with the APA but I believe all have franchise...

I agree with you that this is the case for normal league nights. However playoffs, upper level events and nationals are a completely different animal. If my team wins the first two matches and my opponents are forced to put up their strongest player a SL7 then we are putting up the weakest...

Was wondering with the current 8 ball scoring system how many of you still use SL2's during playoff matches? Most of the playoff matches I have seen the SL2's have not won a game, giving the opposing team 3 points. We have tried it a couple times and it has come back to bite us by putting our...

I think your soft cap idea has merit. Has apa corporate looked into this option for 8ball or 9ball?

That would be interesting to see. I would think all the super 7's would pair up on teams and dominate the LVQ and Nationals. I would be shocked if a sl2 was ever played in any playoff, LVQ or National event

I would like to hear more about the usapl. -What is the format for the local league night? -Do you need to qualify for the national event to participate? -Expansion plans? What can we do to get it in our area?

I bet they could if they had match room sports budget.

The APA is not a pyramid scheme. If it worked the way you suggest they would have millions of members not 250,000. In my area most members who are let go by their team either find another team needing a player or stop playing league. Rarely would they go out and recruit 7 new players to form...

I think they both would like to walk out of there with 5k in their wallet, and will play hard to get it.

It is ignored because the APA doesn't do much to publicize it. There is no online streaming of the event, no online brackets and other than a few Facebook post with pictures very little coverage of the event.

All of the guidelines are on page 6 of the team manual. I have never seen them enforced during a regular league match. During playoffs and upper level play they are enforced in my area. As for your player I would have the captain talk with him to speed their play. TIME GUIDELINES FOR 8-BALL...

I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers. It is truly heart breaking to lose someone so young. CB

To answer your original question it depends on how much of a draw that player is versus how much they are asking for. I would imagine some top draws would include Efren Reyes, Earl Strickland and SVB. They have many fans that would want to attend just to see them play. It is reported Tiger...

I believe it is because of Mark Griffin. He often addresses issues right here on the forums so you have a clear idea why Mark makes the decisions he makes. I might not agree with all his views but I respect how much he seems to care for the game. He is the face of the bcapl. The APA has...

It would be sandbagging issue. Say your player was an SL4 and isn't ambidextrous then playing left handed is not playing to her potential. Most likely if she played this way for an entire session her handicap would drop. Then if your team makes it to the LVQ her shoulder has healed and you...

Did someone file a complaint about her? How did the league operator get involved? While I don't see an issue with a sl2 switching hands often or playing an entire match opposite handed, I could see it being an issue with anyone higher.

I believe they are the undercard to the Hatch v. Biado match.

Would you mind giving us some insight into what type of strategy you would use to bring home the cup? Would it involve a training camp, drills or water boarding for example?
