We just finished up our APA playoff, and the team we played had three players go up in ranking. He said there isn't anything in the rules about to many people going up.

I thought the ruling was that if three people go up or if 1 person goes up 2, its a team DQ.

No sense complaining to the APA office .... all they are going to do is kick it back down to the league rep.


It should be reviewed by APA front office.... but it wont be... Easy to win when half your team is playing under...
 
There absolutely is a rule, but (I may be mistaken), but I think you need movement upward by 4 players or a single player to jump 2 levels
 
The APA system is flawed as a whole. It will never be fair and they like to jack people up so teams will have to find new players. Its a money racket and nothing more. My suggestion is to do what I did and leave it alone. You play play pool and not have to pay a fee for it. If you think about it by the time a year passes you have paid your own way to Vegas in fees. Napa at least gives you the chance to win money.
 
From my understanding the rules you were talking about are at nationals.

However, I don't believe it's as simple as "a guy moves up."
Handicaps are more specific than the whole number you see on your score sheet. For example your APA rating could be 5.50. In that case your the middle of the road 5. Moving a full rating would be moving up to a 6.50.

If you brought a team in that had 3 people close to moving up. That were .10 or less from their next level bump it wouldn't be exactly fair to just toss the team.
In theory you could have four skill level 4's on your team. They could actually all be 4,95's. if they all played, and won, and moved up to 5.00's you'd have 4 guys move up in skill level, but as a whole you only moves up .20 of a single skill level.

A single guy moving up more than one skill level is a much bigger sign of cheating.

There's more to it than what I explained. I believe that a 4 has a .200th scale. Not just a single, but the theory's are the same.
 
DQ'd

We had the city champ team get disqualified this year. They had a 1 go to a 3, a 5 go to a 6 and a 4 go to 5...Many rumors surrounding that team and it's players. After the dust settled they were all suspended for 2 years and forfeit 1st place money.
 
Rio19,
You said it all ! Nothing but a $$$ machine. The area APA where I live gets PAID EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR ! If a league day match falls on ANY holiday, your team is responsible to make arrangements with the other team to make that league day up (or else forfeit that week....(and by the way, your team would STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MISSED WEEK) !!! There are more and more other league organizations coming into my area...(and I know why !). NO more APA for me.
