Apa

if you think a guy is doing shady dealings, come right out and say exactly what you know or heard.

If you don't know anything for sure, but you just maybe heard something from a friend (i.e. it's a rumor) then don't say anything at all.

Why be halfassed and just drop coy hints?
 
If your new to the Nashville area and want to join a league, think twice before you join the APA league. The league director is not someone that is very honest. That is my personally thoughts. :angry:

Did you perhaps just buy the TAP Franchise for the area. Your first post is a great marketing idea if you did.

Why do you believe that?

What did they do to you personally?

How many leagues have you played in?

My questions are not designed to change your thoughts on this subject, but your post is a little confusing, I mean something had to make you believe what you have posted above and it would help to understand things if you would explain why you made these comments.

Sounds like people should think twice before they listen to you if you ask me. Did someone not get their way at league. :boring:
 
Thanks for the post

Gee...another APA basher. What a surprise. Probably a 7 who wanted to be ranked a 3. The APA is great for what it is. If you don't like it, don't play in it.

So are snakes,skunks, and pool pimpers. Its his opinion from his experience. He doesn't owe anyone an explanation unless someone really cares about his experience that caused his opinion and would like to know more. You bashers don't. If you don't like his opinion don't play in it. Lee has one thing correct, STAY AWAY FROM THE APA.

And awaaaayyyy we go....

(I predict at least 5 pages or more of flaming, attacks, counter-punches, thread-meandering and personal wars).

This should be fun.
 
poke&hope...Don't put words in my mouth. I said if you don't like it, don't play. I encourage all players to try out the APA. Some will like it, some won't...just like most things in life. The OP offered nothing to support his/her accusations. Consequently he/she was called out for it. If you're going to make accusations, you'd better be ready to back it up with evidence.

Stay away from APA is good advice for anyone who wants to be involved in pool.

And this great wisdom is due to what, specifically?

(Since I want to be involved with pool, and I enjoy my APA leagues, maybe I'm just missing something. I kinda think that I'm not, but let's play nice and indulge our brand new guest.)
 
The APA gets bashed because there are people that have a less-than-favorable experience with it.

I play in it. I've seen sand-bagging, cheating, fighting, and teams that would try to win before the match even started calling the LO about everything from dues owed to 'this person's name is not spelled the same as on the sheet so we cant let them shoot because it might be a different person'.

I've also shot against some decent players that made it interesting, wowed the bar crowd with a table-length draw (I know.), and been there on the edge of the chair when the match is tied 2-2 and watched our valiant SL3 shit in their last ball.

If you like it or hate it, its all what you put into and take out of it.

I have played a long time in both APA and BCA and thoroughly enjoyed both of them for different reasons.

I think we need to look at the demographics of this site to figure out why the APA is so hated on here in comparison to the other leagues.

The APA gets bashed so much on here because the majority of posters on this forum are well above average or good to great players. The APA makes it hard or sometimes impossible for those types to even play in the league, let alone win anything. If that type of player manages to find themselves a team (which is hard to do if you don't play with a wife or girlfriend who is not very good) then on occasion they get beaten by a player who plays above their handicap. The good/great player gets pissed off because they think it is sandbagging and not just a player having a good day. They then realize that to them the league is no fun.

Lets face it, if more posters on this site were below average players, they would talk more about how they have fun and most likely complain that in the other leagues (BCA for example - although there is nothing wrong with BCA leagues) they can't compete becuase they aren't good enough (and they don't really care if they get better). The reason that there are not more below average players on this site is that they care to play pool 1 day a week, not think about it 24 hours a day.

The fact that the APA gets bashed on this site is not because it is a not a good league, it is just not a good league for the majority of people who post on this site.

A.P.A Bashers

Im not an apa basher, an I can only tell you what ive experienced.
Excessivly long legue nights, uneven handicap, and poor payout for everyone in 2nd place down. The only one making out is the operator.
Ill stick with Valley, that is operated by the table vending compy, they pay out 100%

Our ApA guy lasted 2 years and was out.then comes to valley night and tells us we should have supported him, (and his wife and kids) and we could have been in Vagas and the usual propaganda.
