On a more serious note, the problem isn't the zip-lock.

It's that there are plenty of other Apa events going on other than just league night that not many people hear about until it's too late. Other than people on this site and the people they tell, how are people supposed to know that there was a scotch double tournament, or a 3/4 team league/tournament, even singles qualifiers and such. It just seems that the league would have a better chance to grow if everyone in it knew what was happening in advance. I would guarantee that if there was a flyer in a team envelope that the turnout for all these events would increase.

And if nothing else, an organized packet would make people feel like they are part of an organization that is more than just a guy with a printer in his livingroom, steeling zip-locks from his wife when she ain't looking.[:p]

He told me the skill level limit would be 15. 8 ball. Standard APA rules apply. Play would be at the American Legion, this is only if the tables can be set up prior to city cup (LTC). I'm sure the tourny would be 100% payback, at probably $60 a team (this is my guess).

It's a good time to play also. Play starts at 6 and is usually done between 9 and 9:30 so you aren't out too late on a school night. For those that don't play or have never played APA 9 ball, it's also more competitive then 8 ball. It's much easier for lower skill level players to win. So, if you have friends that don't play APA or lower skill level players that think it might be too hard, have them try it out.]]> pelican http://gulfcoastapa.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=59&REPLY_ID=188 General Pool Discussion Sat, 03 Apr 2010 18:46:05 -0500 http://gulfcoastapa.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=59 Quote:
Makes sense to me. Never played it against anyone......not sure how that would work. But I like it for practice anyhow. Helps to really fine tune your english and angles when it comes to playing position in a regular game.

If you click over to the left side of the website on printable documents, you can view the APA Team Manual and the Local Bylaws.

From the team manual:

12. ADDING/DROPPINGPLAYERS
New players may be added to your roster at any time during the
first four weeks of the session. For an added player to participate in
a League match, the opposing Team Captain must be notified that
you are adding or dropping a player before the team match begins.
To add a player to your roster, simply write the word add and the
player’s name (next to the other names) on your copy of the weekly scoresheet.
Gentlemen without a handicap (nonrated) will play their firstmatch as a
SL4; ladies will play their firstmatch as a SL3 in theOpen and Ladies
Division. If the new player participates in another APA League area or is an
ex-League player, the Team Captain must contact the League Office in
advance to obtain his most current skill level before allowing him to play. If
you play him without doing so, be sure he plays at his most current skill level.
If he plays at a lower rating, his match will be considered forfeited. Once a
team has entered Higher Level Tournament play and it is discovered that a
transfer player or an ex-League player was allowed to participate on the team
during regular session play at a skill level lower than his most current rating, the team is subject to disqualification, even if the player in question reestablished his rating by that time.
Players may, with approval from the League Office, be dropped at any time
during the session and should be dropped if they become unreliable or cause
problems in the League. To request that the League Office drop a player,
simply draw a line through his name on your scoresheet and mark drop.
Remember, new players may be added only during the first four weeks of the
session. Exception: New players may be added after the fourth week, but
only with prior approval from the League Office. If you have a problem with
a player, drop and replace him during the first four weeks, if possible. Eligible (meaning qualified for the Team Championships) teams may not, during the Spring Session, drop players from their roster after the fourth week of play.
This is a National Championship rule. Players who are ineligible to
participate in Higher Level Tournaments will be dropped from the roster by
Local League Management prior to the Local Team Championship.


13. CLOSINGTEAMROSTERS
No playermay join a teamafter the fourth
week. No playermay play without a
handicap after the seventh week.

Exception: Players may be added to a team after the fourth week, but only
with prior approval from the League Office. Additionsmust be approved by
the LeagueOffice prior to play. If this exception were not allowed, some
teams would be forced to quit, leaving byes in the schedule. Teams do not join
this League to get forfeits; they join because they want to play. The APA
appreciates your understanding of this exception.
This exception cannot be used by eligible (qualified for theTeam
Championships) teams during the Spring Session. Eligible team’s rosters are
locked and may not be altered unless the team elects to give up their eligibility.


So, the way I am interpreting this is, if the team is qualified for city's, then they cannot DROP a player after the 4th week of play. Also, they would not be able to ADD a player after the 4th week. Any other team could with approval from the LO.

But, IMO, this is kinda where common sense has to prevail. Is there a team that is trying to buck the system by adding a 7 to the roster late to play in the city's? Or, is it a team that for some reason had to lose some players and needs to add some to have enough to play? Personally, I'd rather see a team be able to keep playing and remain qualified vs. having to have a whole team disband just because they lost their qualification.

And, do you mean at the beginning of a league match night instead of a tournament? Tournaments shouldn't have any impact on your rosters.]]> Robert http://gulfcoastapa.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=70&REPLY_ID=179 Rules/Bylaws Questions Mon, 22 Mar 2010 14:29:01 -0500 http://gulfcoastapa.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=70 Quote:
To clarify on my last post, it does NOT apply when the cueball is touching/frozen to the object ball. In this case both balls will move as one and there will not be a double hit.
