And that was.....?????
Maniac
after 4 weeks I am 18 wins 2 loses.
i am also 2 skill levels above everyone else.
but they dont seem to mind as far as i know.can they throw me out of league?
the teams are handicapped so it shouldn't matter.
The rules state you can play apa as long as you are not a pro.
After reading some of the posts on here, I just may have to return to playing League. I've been playing 9-Ball & "Golf" on a Snooker Table, with Pool Balls, but that's only 2-3 nights a week.
I need to get out more, to keep myself moving... I'll be 76 in 4 months
My 8 ball team lost this past weekend in our Vegas qualifier. It came down to the very last ball of the very last rack. It was really disheartening.
But on a happy note...., my 9 ball team makes a run at it this weekend. I am really tired of my local APA office doing these on Holiday Weekends. It's getting ridiculous. Luckily we had a few players who changed their plans to be able to play. Let's hope it all works out. I want to go to Vegas again.
Real long day for me.
Damn Buddy..., That was a long day. Out Cities for 9 ball start Friday Night and resume Saturday morning at 9am. Looking forward to a lot of pool over the weekend. I sure hope we pull it out.
Good luck to you my friend. I hope we can pull off either 8 or 9 ball . Don't really matter as long as one of them wins. Lol
Our In-House 8-ball league ended last week. We managed to finish 1st, which is great. The match was already decided when I had to play a SL2 (7-3 race). It was late, I was distracted and had a hard time focusing. We went hill-hill, and I missed an easy shot to set myself up for the 8. She was on the 8, so she had a straight in shot to win. Dumb mistake on my part, I play a safe there instead and there is no way she wins. I don't really care, but it did screw my perfect season, so I ended up 8-1 for the season (and went from a SL4 to an SL8 during the season.)
Our next session starts the first week of June. I'll be doing 9-ball on Sunday and 8-ball on Tuesday (both in-house).

I'm still fairly new to the game, only been playing about a year but working hard to get better and play 4-5 times per week for an hour or 2. I got talked into an APA league team last session and had a wonderful time playing both 8 and 9-ball divisions. I was hoping to win as many as I lost first session and played about .500 in 8-ball but won 9 of 11 in 9-ball so was very pleased. Charleston is one of the biggest APA markets in the country and we made it to the city tournament which starts soon. The things I don't love are the locations that still allow smoking, which can start to burn you eyes in the middle of a match, and how late some of the games go. You end up sitting around from 7:00 until almost midnight sometimes before you get to leave. Overall I really enjoy it and look forward to league night.i am just curious how some of you guys are playing and hoe some people respond without this going to another league bashing thread. feel free to respond no matter what league.
i was playing 5 times a week and cut out fri night scotch doubles double jeapordy last session. i just finished up in house bcapl points based money league and also dropping it too.
it seemed like i was just getting wore out playing so much and working 5 days a week also.
i play sunday night apa double jeapordy, tue night apa 8 ball travel and sat napa. i am captain of the sunday night and sat napa teams.
i started out slow on sun night 9 ball losing my 1st 3.. winning 1 .. losing 1 and then winning my last 6 in a row. i have really come on strong lately beating a 7 by a score of 17-3 and 2 5's both by a score of 18-2. my co-captain asked me to sit out last sun night 9 ball because he is afraid of me going up to a 6 in playoffs lol. with him just being raised to a 9 and us just losing our 1 who quit he is afraid of us not making the 23 limit.
sun night 8 ball i have not been doing too good. record of 4-6 so far with me winning last sun night against another tough 5 by a score of 4-3. i was on the verge of losing until he rattled the pocket on his last ball with me on the 8 which i made with no problem.
last night on my travel team i faced a 5 ...winning 4-2 in 10 innings with 1 break and run. i have not played 8 ball that good in a while.
well i look forward to my sat napa league where i will probably gat my ass kicked like i normally do. a lot of real good players in that league... what wins i have gotten did not come easy.
i would love to hear how some of you guys are doing.
