| This is your portal to the best Amateur Recreational Billiards League in the Brunswick, Horry and New Hanover counties! | |
|
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 250,000 members (and growing). The APA Equalizer Handicapping system that lets all players compete on an equal level regardless of your playing ability and everyone has a shot at winning a trip to Vegas for the APA Championships! The Coastal Carolina APA currently offers 8-Ball, 9-Ball, Double Jeopardy (both 8 & 9-Ball), and Masters Divisions. |
|
For those of you that might be thinking: "I'm not good enough to play", consider this; 75% of APA members are beginner to intermediate players, meaning you don't have to be a Pool Pro to play. The only thing you really need, is the desire to have fun! | |

Rule Books and By-Laws. Please read and share them with
your team members. Become familiar with the rules. READ
THE BY-LAWS.
They are part of your rules. By-laws overrule or change some rules
in your rulebook. Pay close attention to the section on score keeping.
This area is very important so as not to let another team cheat you
by keeping their handicap down. Read and pay attention to the section
in the rulebook dealing with conduct.
The road can be a lonely place - unless that road winds through the heart of APA country with over a quarter of a million members, each with a story to tell. Most folks are surprised to learn that as APA representatives, we actually don't get to play a great deal of pool when we travel. The simple truth is that we spend as much time as possible exchanging stories with players, location owners, and League Operators who make APA the largest and most colorful pool league in the world. We wouldn't have it any other way!
In fact, over the years, we've enjoyed this aspect of our jobs so much, we requested a way to share the faces and stories of the folks we meet with all APA members. Welcome to APA's "Road Trip" blog! Until we make it to your town, join us for a road trip through APA country.
Please Remember:
All new players must pay their $25 membership fee. Team captains will
be held responsible for any membership fee's not paid by players.
DO NOT ALLOW A NEW PLAYER TO PLAY until they give you their membership
fee. Unfortunately, we have to pay the $25 membership to St. Louis
for every new player, even if a team drops him or her from their roster
after 1 match. If you collect the money before the match, you will
not have to worry about paying for it out of your own pocket.
Eligibility for Playoffs
Remember, that in order to be eligible for Playoff matches at the
end of this session, a player must play 6 matches during the current
session. To play the TRI-CUP, a new player would need 6 matches overall,
including the 6 matches during the session.
Weekly Fees - Past Due?
• Please be sure that your team is caught up on all
monies owed.
• If your team owes past dues it may affect playoffs
and wildcard draw.
Team Captain Responsibilities
• Verify that all team members are valid APA members
of legal age and that they are playing at the
skill level that reflects their true ability.
• Collect membership fees and league dues from each
player and submit to the appropriate drop off
location the day after play.
• Distribute the weekly information that may appear
in your envelope so all players are informed
of any important changes, notices, upcoming tournaments, etc.
• Be responsible for having teammates at the scheduled
match site on time.
• Make sure proper score keeping procedures are followed.
• Captains are responsible for the overall behavior
of the team, and should notify the league management
of any member who is not following good sportsmanship.
Pre-Payment Option:
In order to avoid falling behind on your dues, or having to pay for
forfeits out of your own pocket, captains may wish to pre-pay the
entire session in the first or second week. A separate notice will
be included in your first week's envelope explaining the benefits
and procedures of this option.
