I call it that because it fits. That's how they made me and many others feel. Once someone reaches a level and becomes a poolplayer instead of someone who just likes to play pool, the APA has no place for them. They show up to league week after week but don't get to play because of the 23 rule. When they finally do get to play, they have to win 7 games before a slopster wins 2. Gee, that sounds like alot of fun...bear down and play your heart out for what? Oh yeah, you still gotta pay the fee! But what a great time we had!!
This isn't my thread so I'm not going to hog any more of it. I've said my piece and I'm done.
Actually you are wrong. They offer APA Masters which removes the handicap.
