ALL PLAYERS MUST PAY THEIR MEMBERSHIP FEE ON FIRST NIGHT OF PLAY!

As seen to the left, the new APA membership card has been redesigned and it will be printed on a permanent card (hard and sturdy like your license). In addition, instead of the APA cards being sent to our league office for distribution to you through the Division Reps, your APA membership card will come directly to you in the mail with your APA membership packet! Each following year, you will receive a sticker in your membership packet to update the year on your membership card to show that your membership is still active. You will receive a new card every 5 years.

You MUST have a correct address on file with APA to receive your membership packet and your membership card. If you have an asterik (*) next to your name on the weekly scoresheet, if you have moved since joining APA, or if you are not currently receiving the "The American Poolplayer" magazine each session, it is highly likely you do not have an up-to-date mailing address on file with APA.

There are two ways to correct this:

1. Fill out an APA membership application and update all of your information. This form can be turned in with your team's weekly scoresheets.
2. Go to the APA Online Member Services website where you see your team and individual stats. Log in to your account, or create an account if you haven't done so already, and click on your profile to check and update your mailing address and other personal information.

Please note: If our local APA office has to order a replacement card for you, there will be a $5 fee. So please make sure that your information is up-to-date before January! Don't forget that you can renew and pay your membership by credit card online NOW from your APA Online Member Services account!

IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!!!

TEAMS ALREADY QUALIFIED FOR THE CITIES WILL AUTOMATICALLY ALSO LOSE THEIR BID IF THERE ARE ANY PAST DUES.


Please be sure that your team is caught up on all monies owed. If your team owes any past dues, your team will not be eligible for playoffs and wildcard draw, or able to play in the Tri Cups. Full team fees are to be paid during session playoffs as well. This is regardless of how many players actually play (i.e. - match is completed with only 3 players needing to play).

*Starting this session, we will be stricter in regard to enforcing the guidelines of the Bylaws, regarding team fees. Teams who fall behind one week will lose bonus point(s) Teams who fall behind a second week, without notifying the office of valid reason will lose all points for that week, regardless of the score. Third week will cause team to be dropped, if no valid reason. Local Bylaws can be downloaded from the Documents section on the website.

Attention: All non-smoking APA locations!

In order to ensure the timeliness of APA league matches and a decent conclusion time for APA league nights for all players, guidelines must be put in place to address smoking during APA league play. Players should be ready to play as soon as they are put up in a match. Matches will not be held for a player to take a "smoke break" before beginning their match. "Smoke Breaks" are also prohibited while a player is playing an APA match. Players must complete their match in it's entirety before going outside to smoke.
