2010 9-Ball City Tournament was held
June 4-6th, 2010 at Smokehouse Billiards.

What a finish at the 2010 APA 9-Ball Cities!!!

B Strokin' is heading to Vegas! In a tough semi final round, veteran team 'Jimmagan's Hurricanes' defeated 'Unsafeable' in a tough match for a spot in the finals. "This is the best we've ever done in the City Championship," exclaimed Team Captain Bob Greenlaw.

They were now set to face either 'Seeing Double' or 'B Strokin' in the finals. This match turned out to be even closer, with 'B Strokin' emerging as the winners, after the battle ended in a nail biter in the fifth match.

The finals looked at first to be a runaway, with B Strokin' taking a sizeable lead, but after a strong rally in the fourth match, the championship was decided in the fifth and B strokin' won the championship and the trip to the National Championship in Las Vegas in August!

B Strokin'

Kim Goff, Mickey Boone, Lynn Stalvey, Dale Holt,
Denise Strickland, Wesley Harris, Allen Salyer, Frankie Graham

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.

Read APA's "Road Trip" blog

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.

Click Here to Download the UPDATED BY-LAWS!

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 4 matches during the current session. To play the TRI-CUP, a new player would need 6 matches overall, including the 4 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.
