Anyone play in TAP League?

Is it true that any team would go to the BCA national?

These TAP national teams won an 8-16 team bracket to even play there, plus teams might have not made the regional bracket.

Yes I think that's true for BCAPL.
 
ACS was created in 2004/2005, and I don't think it has ever been big.

Can see from compusport (8-ball teams at national event),
151 teams in 2012
189 teams in 2016
177 teams in 2024
your are correct it was the bca back in the 90s that was that big
 
TAP has a real intricate scoring system, that many don't know how to use properly. It takes too much effort to import the scoring, and steals away enjoyment from League play. APA scoring system is much easier, although I don't care for a lot of things APA does. I have played in both leagues, but do not play in either anymore because of the things I dislike. I play in an open League where there is no handicap, and the best in the house play in this league also. I hear a lot of people complaining about the TAP handicap system and are turned off by it.
 
Fast forward to Aug 2025...
I know by default that they don't - but has anyone ever played in a TAP league that reports to Fargo? Is it possible?
I didn't even think about that. Good question. I'm thinking of possibly a TAP league again for this year. Did USAPL last year and the league operator let everything go as far as sandbagging and other BS. The local TAP owner here has a reputation for not letting that stuff go.

I don't know of any and don't know if it is possible. To go into FargoRate the league would have to be run in FargoRate LMS software. Because TAP has its own software, I assume the results would need to be entered a second time.

Thanks. I guess that currently rules out most TAP leagues from reporting to Fargo...

Who knows - in 10 years time all the various leagues might have a 'report to Fargo' button in their software. Stranger things have happened.

Since TAP has its own rating system and handicap I doubt they will ever report to Fargo.
