Beginners Wanted |
|
Teams are forming now. With the handicap
system, beginners with very little skill have a chance to beat the
higher skilled players because they have to win less games than the
higher skilled player. To sign up online for

APA Membership Information
While some membership cards require you to be able
to jump the cue ball, bank it off three rails and sink the eight ball
all blindfolded, getting an APA Membership Card is much easier.
Fill out the form below and the APA League Operator
in your area will contact you and get the ball rolling, so you can start
playing pool.
After all, that is what the APA is all about –
playing pool and having fun doing it. You don't have to be a pool shark,
because in the APA -- everyone can play and anyone can win. The APA
wants beginners and novices, because it is the AMATEUR Poolplayers
Association. No other organization in pool gives ordinary players a
chance to win a share of the more than $1 MILLION guaranteed cash and
prizes paid out through its national tournaments.
How does the APA do it? It uses The Equalizer®
handicap system to determine the amount of games a player has to win in
order to capture the match. It allows a novice to win less games than a
more-skilled opponent to win a match.
