We have always tried our best to make Central Illinois APA Pool Leagues (CIAPA) the most valued League in the Midwest. I am extremely grateful for the many players throughout the years who have assisted as division representatives, advisory committee members, board of governors, tournament directors and referees. The efforts by everyone have made Central Illinois APA Pool Leagues one of the largest APA Leagues in the Midwest, and we are committed to the continued growth.    

As your league operator, I love the camaraderie, fun, and genuine passion for the game and the community that has been built over the past 34 years. We have added numerous events and opportunities to have fun and compete in a fair and competitive League. In addition to the local opportunities, we have added numerous paths for members get to the World Qualifiers, Singles Regionals, US Amateurs, APA World Pool Championships, Pool Players Championships and Junior Championships! 

Over the past several years we have seen the cost of consumer goods and services rise significantly due to inflation. Currently, it is not possible for us to continue providing the services you deserve and stay at the current $7 per individual match. And we have not implemented a weekly fee increase in 15 years. Our last increase from $6 - $7 per individual match was in Summer 2008.

At of the start of the 2023 Summer Session, weekly fees will go up by one dollar per individual match. 

• $8.00 per individual match in 8-Ball, 9 Ball, 8-Ball Doubles Formats

• $7.50 per individual match in Kinney Senior Division Format

• $9.50 per individual match in Masters Format

• We will not increase the weekly fees for the Juniors Format

Raising the fees by one dollar per individual match will allow us to provide the following:

• A significant increase in travel funds at the WPQ 

• Addition funds to promote and provide opportunities for our Juniors program

• Increase in payback at the Cash Cup Tournaments

• New Patches and giveaways

Thank you for your continued support over the past 34 years! We plan to maintain and provide the best service to our local APA members!

Sincerely

Kim Jones, League Operator
