[hang-the-9]

If you are using APA rankings, 11 is a VERY low number for a team. Basically you are limiting the team to ONE good player and then total beginners. A good B level player can be a 9 in APA 8 ball if he's playing his/her game. You'll have a hard time getting 2 C players with an 11 point limit.

What the USAPL league does is that it just handicaps the final score a bit for top heavy teams that exceed the limit, but the limit is pretty high. In my Masters league the 3 player limit is 300, with 345 being the highest you can have for 3 top ranked players, after that they have some points taken away from the final score.
