Have Fun, Meet People, Play APA Pool!

Talk to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. You'll find that they either play in the APA or know someone who does. It'll surprise you! Clerks, secretaries, janitors, lawyers, chiropractors, doctors, waitresses, truck drivers, bank tellers, and even school teachers ... all play pool in the APA Pool League.

Over one fourth of APA members are female.

 

The APA is the World's Largest Amateur Pool League with more members than all other amateur leagues combined. Nationally, the APA currently boasts over 270,000 members (and growing).

Think you're not good enough to play in the APA? Consider this:

75% of APA members are beginner to intermediate players, meaning you don't have to be a Pool Pro to play.

And with the APA's Equalizer® Handicap System everyone has a nearly equal chance of winning.

Defensive Shots!

10/31/2009 6:59:24 PM

Here's a great video from Terry Bell, founder of the APA. This video explains what is and is not a defensive shot. If your team is not marking defensive shots then you are not keeping score accurately.

The innings portion of the scoresheet is not subjective and should match. However, there is a subjective element to defensive shots. Mark it as you see it, the scoresheets do not have to match. While there are matches that do not have defensive shots, teams that never mark them stand out like a sore thumb, please keep your scoresheets as accurately and honestly as you can and if you have questions please post or give me a call.

Please encourage your players to inform the scorekeepers when they have attempted a defensive shot.

AND, just to let me know you are aware of the defensive shot portion of the scoresheet, please mark "NO D" or put a 0 in that portion if in your opinion there were none. That tells me you are watching for defensive shots and understand the importance of marking them.


Just a Reminder! Skill Level Evaluations...

10/14/2009 11:31:41 AM

The Equalizer Handicap System is by far the BEST in the industry. As with any great system, checks and balances are in place to insure the effectiveness of the system and to continue to improve it.

One of the tools that this league has in place is a "Skill Level Evaluation" here on the website.

http://apawestgeorgia.net/forms/sl_evaluation.asp

Please use this form if you feel a player is rated improperly. These submissions are reviewed twice a week. (Although many weeks, there are none, because the equalizer works, if teams are keeping score properly!)

The player that submits the form will not receive any response from this league office concerning the outcome of the review. It is the policy of this office and that of the National Office that we will not discuss player's handicap with anyone other than the player.

On another note, please remember that comments concerning another player's handicap to someone on your team, to the other player or his teammates ARE Poor Sportsmanship. Please report these instances by email, through your sportsmanship ratings or by using the form here

http://apawestgeorgia.net/forms/sportsmanship_complaint.asp

Most of the above situations are few and far between but some folks focus on the bad...Let's all focus on the good and take the appropriate steps to make this league better than it already is!

Stepping off soapbox for now!
