Welcome to the Chicago APA
 Talk to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. You'll find that they either play in the APA or know someone who does. It'll surprise you! Clerks, secretaries, janitors, lawyers, chiropractors, doctors, waitresses, truck drivers, bank tellers, and even school teachers ... all play pool in the APA Pool League. Over one fourth of APA members are female.
The APA is the World's Largest Amateur Pool League with more members than all other amateur leagues combined. Nationally, the APA currently has over 250,000 members (and growing). Locally, there are over 1500 active players. In a normal week, over 220 teams are playing APA pool. We offer leagues 5 nights a week in most areas of the City and suburbs.
75% of APA members are beginner to intermediate players. That means you don't have to be a Pool Pro to play. With the APA's Equalizer® System everyone can play, and anyone can win.

Just another beautiful day in paradise.
They are predicting 3 inches to a foot of snow across most of this territory. In case the predictions are right, I'm making match play optional tonight, but please contact your opponents so they don't make the trip for nothing...if possible. If you don't have your opponents number, please call the office after 4 today.
Makeups will be scheduled for all matches that are not played.
It is not awful out there right now, but I know it will be bad at rush hour, and street parking will be at a premium...so it is a judgment call for you.
If call later tonight, please be patient. Please give me some time to answer the other calls coming in. I will get to missed calls as soon as possible. I don't listen to voice mail at all on a night like tonight. I use my missed calls list to get back to you...don't waste your time leaving a voice mail. Finally, calling repeatedly in a short period of time doesn't help...it will probably push you to the back of the line, so call once and wait. I will get back to you ASAP.

More Early session FAQs
Memberships are normally $25. You will see some $15 memberships. Those are for players who just paid their 2009 membership in the fall session last year. Because these players only got one session of play for a full membership fee last year, they take $10 off the full year membership for 2010 if it is paid by the end of March. Please pay these memberships first. If you wait, they turn into $25 memberships.
If you pay a partial membership, I have no way of showing a partial payment. ALL regular current membership show as $25 until fully paid. All pro-rated memberships will show as $15 until fully paid. What I do with some partial payments is to pay the full amount to St. Louis, and put the team past due for the balance.
Please pay all memberships as soon as possible…if you have problems paying the charge on time, please call me.
If you have never filled out a membership application, please take the time to do so this week or next. If you have changed your personal information, or have a star next to your name…please fill out a membership application. When it is filled out, please drop it in the cash envelope. If you leave it in the bottom of your weekly envelope, it may stay there for many weeks.
Schedules on the website are available to all players regardless of your “standing” with the apa. It is the second button on the left side of the home page. If you want to see more of your personal stats, as well as divisional stats, please register with the website. If there is a “problem” with your registration, please fill out an application, because some of your information is wrong…OR you can email your address, phone, date of birth, and the email address you would used for personal use…Many of you check in from work…probably not a good idea to send pool info to your work email…
Can different players coach a shooter during a match? Yes, anyone on the roster can coach at any legal coaching opportunity regardless of who has coached previously.
Can I change my stick during a game? Yes, you can change your stick as often as you would like. (On every shot is the mood strikes you….) The only time you can’t change your stick is to attempt a jump shot. You have to use your regular game cue to shoot a jump shot. The regular game cue is defined as the cue you shoot the majority of your shots with. To be safe, DON’T change your cue stick if you are going to attempt a jump shot.

Are you ready for some action?
The Illinois APA League Operators are putting together a State Tournament for this year and we need your input to determine the amount of interest in the project.
Where: Springfield
When: November 2009 Matches would run Friday thru Sunday
Format: Standard Team format - race to handicap
(You choose the players for your team...just stay under 23)
Cost: $400 per team - rooms NOT included
There will be handicapped mini tournaments as well.
Those are the general details...I will update as I get more specific information. The window is short on this event, so I need to know the real level of interest in this type of tournament at this time.
Being a first time event, we are open to change...Please post replies with any suggestions that would make the tournament more appealing for you.
