BIRTHDAYS
The American Poolplayers Association (APA) was founded by
professional poolplayers Terry Bell & Larry Hubbart in 1979 as
the National Pool League, which became the American Poolplayers
Association in 1981. The two realized the popularity of the sport,
but knew that, different from other sports, there was no existing
recreational league system.
Today, the APA is operating in more than 40 states in the USA,
as well as Canada and Japan. The APA has grown to more than 250,000
members and boasts more members than all other "national" leagues
combined. The League is administered by a network of local
Franchise Operators. League play is conducted weekly with both
8-Ball and 9-Ball team formats offered.
The APA hosts an 8-Ball and 9-Ball League system. The APA 8-Ball
League and the APA 9-Ball League are offered throughout the country
and each year teams have the opportunity to advance to the APA
National Team Championships.
At the national level, the APA guarantees nearly $1.5 million in
national tournament prize money. For more information, visit
www.poolplayers.com.
