i just dont understand why so many people have such a disdain for the apa. i have played in it for 16 months now and i have not experienced all the bad things i hear from a bunch of you bashers.
i just have not seen all the drunks, ball bangers , slop makers , sandbaggers , non serious pool players that you say makes the apa the worse league to play in.
let me share my league experience.
my 1st league was bcapl. i played it for a year before dropping out for 2 years for personal reasons.
during my time in it i went from a 3 to a 7. i did not like some of the rules but was ok playing by them. my experience quickly turned sour when the lo started making poker a priority over pool. he was running poker tournaments in the same room at the same time as the pool matches. he was getting people to play in both at the same time, more money for him.
it got frustrating when it was your turn to play and your opponent was at the poker table.
after a 2 year hiatus i got back into league and was not supprised to find out bcapl was gone and now apa was here.
i have a serious question here.
are all the people that were playing bcapl and now currently playing apa suddenly turn into low life drunks, ball bangers, slop makers and sandbaggers , and non serious pool players ?
in my opinion a league experience should be based on how you interact with other pool players and how well a lo runs a league , not by what rules are playing by.
my league experince and what i think of playing in it.
bcapl, did not like some rules and did not like how it was ran. but i enjoyed playing pool.
apa, dont like slop, but i can fade it and just concentrate on outplaying them.
memphis pool league, its a money league. dont like slop or how serious some people get but it is money on the line. like collecting money at the end of the session
napa league, i love it

!
i currently play on 3 apa teams, i money team and 1 napa team every week. i love playing pool :thumbup:
