I got talked into joining an old friend's APA team. I have heard mainly negative things about the APA. What should I watch out for?
just go and see how it is first before you try and judge it.

I don't agree with the rules the APA has, You can play a shot like 5 ball streight on the corner and that 5 ball can go around the table touch every other ball hit all 6 rails and go in and it's a good shot.
(I have heard mainly negative things about the APA) Well then why did you join ? I personaly don't believe in the APA and never have, Been asked many times over the years to play but would rather break my cue in half then play in the APA. It's nothing but a bunch of sand baggers trying to win a free trip to Vegas. I hang out at a small private club where I play. There are a few APA teams that play there a few nights a week. I don't agree with the rules the APA has, You can play a shot like 5 ball streight on the corner and that 5 ball can go around the table touch every other ball hit all 6 rails and go in and it's a good shot. Thats not pool thats playing marbles ....
What ever happened to a night out with your friends playing pool?

JT,
Going to repeat this. I've played APA for seven cycles now. In all those matches (108), the object ball "slopped" in about once in one hundred shots. Figures to be about 1%. Bet I can make the nine ball on the break a lot more times than that. Or the eight ball for that matter. Pretty sure i've received more than ten "Eight on the Break" patches from the APA. Pretty lame excuse in my mind.

it seems like every time some one plays a lil lousy and their opponent plays good the sandbagging crap starts.
people always want to blame the other guy when they lose.
This^is where you get your value out of being on an APA team. Make new friends. Bring your old ones. Take the wife along (hell, sign her up!).
It gets to be habit forming.

This is true. I have seen this happen with my very own eyes. But.....let's not deny the fact that sandbagging exists, because it is as real as the nose in front of your face. Heck, I hear people openly admit to it, both here on AZB and at the poolhalls.
