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.]]> Robert http://gulfcoastapa.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=152&REPLY_ID=185 Local Ad-Hoc Tournaments Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:07:53 -0500 http://gulfcoastapa.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=152 Quote:

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.]]> rick http://gulfcoastapa.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=150&REPLY_ID=177 Local Ad-Hoc Tournaments Sat, 20 Mar 2010 15:43:04 -0500 http://gulfcoastapa.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=150 Quote:

Fellow once said, "If it yellow and smells bad, it must be nine ball". To be honest I am not a big fan of nine ball simply because I am not a pure shot maker. Then again, if you have to be good at something to like it I don't reckon I'd like anything. However, I will try and make this just to support the organization, plus it will add to the winners pot. How bout a calcutta?

Would love to participate but have to work till 3pm. Mayhaps next time you could start a little later. As many tables as the Billiard Club has
time shouldn't be a big factor.
