Think you're not good enough to play in the APA? Guess what, 75% of APA members are beginner and intermediate players, meaning you don't have to be a Pool Pro to play. And with the APA's Equalizer® Handicap System, everyone can play and anyone can win. So grab some friends, family, or co-workers and start a team today!
Have Fun ... Meet People ... Play Pool! .........................................................................
The following teams won our Vegas or Bust City Championships and will receive a PAID trip (hotel and travel) to participate in the APA National Team Championships at the newly renovated Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in August 2008!
