APA Singles Program
APA conducts an annual singles program that is challenging, fun, and potentially lucrative for APA members. The program consists of three levels of competition. At the Local level, players compete on singles boards (mixed group of SLs) for a chance to advance to the Regional level. At the Regional level, players from different league areas meet to compete against other players around their same SL. Winners advance to the Poolplayer Championship where over $600,000 in cash and prizes awaits!
APA Singles Boards / Local Qualifiers
This is the first level of APA's singles programs for 8-Ball and 9-Ball.
You must be active on a team in the format (8-Ball or 9-Ball) played and have played at least 10 matches within the past two years in that format. Matches in the other format do not count. NO EXCEPTIONS!
WHEN:
Any time 4-8 people want to get together and play.
WHERE:
Any place with a pool table.
HOW:
Simply contact Nicole at 203-233-8907 for boards and scoresheets.
COST:
Each Singles Board costs $200. The board cost is typically split equally among players on the board. With 8 players, it would be $25 per person. With less than 8 players you would divide the amount equally between players. With only 4 players it would be $50 each. There are a number of variations, most acceptable. Please contact Nicole at 203-233-8907 if interested to run a board and for additional information.
The League Office will make every effort to keep everyone informed of upcoming singles boards as long as enough notice is provided by the person(s) running the boards.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RUN SINGLES BOARDS AND NEED SOME ASSISTANCE, CONTACT THE LEAGUE OFFICE AND WE WILL BE GLAD TO HELP!
