Apa 5

[justadub]

I always say this half jokingly but actually serious an APA # is the number of balls they can run.

I actually don't have a problem with using this as a starting point. At least in my experience, with the folks I play with.

The number of balls that skill level can run on a consistent basis. Yup. Guilty.

I might be a little slow here, but from the sounds of the thread it leads me to assume that your not in the APA otherwise you would know how a APA 5 Play's. Which leads me to ask the question, if your not in the APA why would you be playing in an APA 5 and Under Tournament?

I'm not disagreeing, but in which direction do you think it goes?


Absent sandbagging, I think 2-5 are pretty stable across regions. One thing I've noticed is that in divisions without good 7s, a strong legitimate 6 on a national scale will rise to a 7 (or an 8 goes up to a 9 in 9-ball). The same happens to 5s if there are no good 6s or 7s in a division, but that's less common.

Yes,the city 5s seem to dominate the less talented divisions 5s.
