The APA conducts an annual singles program that is challenging, fun, and potentially lucrative for APA members. The program consists of three levels of competition. At the Local level, players compete on singles boards for a change to advance to the Regional level. At the Regional level, players from different league areas meet to compete, with the winners advancing to the Championship level, where over $600,000 in cash and prizes awaits!

 

The 8-Ball Classic is the singles program for 8-Ball players, and the 9-Ball Shootout is for 9-Ball players. Both programs operate with two qualifying windows. Players who win a singles board between January 1 and June 15 qualify for the Season 1 Regional, which is held in the Fall of each year. Players who win a singles board between June 16 and November 30 qualify for the Season 2 Regional, which is held the following Spring. 

 

 The Regional and Championship levels of the 8-Ball Classic and the 9-Ball Shootout are broken into tiers by skill level. There are five tiers in the 8-Ball Classic, a combined tier for 2s and 3s, with separate tiers for 4s, 5s, 6s, and 7s. The tiers for the 9-Ball Shootout are for skill levels 1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9. Once you reach the Regional level, you only play players within your own tier. To become a champion, all you have to do is win your tier at the Championship level. The APA crowns nine singles champions each year!

 

 

 

 

 

This is the first level of APA's singles programs for 8-Ball and 9-Ball. 

 

ELIGIBILITY:	You must be an active players, on an active team in the format (8-Ball or 9-Ball) being played. You must have at least ten matches played within the last two years in that format. Matches in the other format do not count. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO EITHER OF THESE REQUIREMENTS!
WHEN:	Any time four to eight people want to get together and play.
WHERE:	Any place that has a pool table.
HOW:	Simply contact the League Office (502-498-5313) and ask for boards and scoresheets.
COST:	Each Singles Board costs $160 and if you run a board, you get to keep $20 from every board you run! This amount is typically split equally among the players on the board. If there are 8 players, it would be $20 per person. If you are one of the 8, then you essentially play for free since you'd get $20 for running the board. If you aren't playing in it, you would collect $20 from the 8 playing and then keep $20 and turn in $140 with the paperwork. If there are only 4 players, then everyone would typically pay $40. There are a number of variations, nearly all are acceptable as long as you get $20 and $140 is turned in per board.

 

The League Office will make every effort to keep everyone informed of upcoming singles boards as long as enough notice is provided by the person(s) running the boards.
