As we head into the session ending playoffs there are some things all teams need to be aware of, as well as some changes that were discussed in the bylaws meeting/tournament a few months ago.
- There is no double shooting in the last week of the session or in playoffs
- Makeup matches must be complete within 2 weeks or they will be scored as a DOUBLE FORFEIT (no points awarded)
- The final 2 weeks of play cannot be rescheduled, if you cannot field a team, let us know NOW, and we can release the scoresheets early
- Players must have 4 matches in the session to be eligible to play in playoffs.
- If your team has any DEBT, you will not be placed into playoffs or be eligible for the wildcard draw
- Teams that forfeit more than 3 matches in the final 2 weeks of play, will not be eligible for playoffs
========================
Remember, our playoff structure has changed slightly for this league year. This is a MANDATE by APA National and applies to all leagues worldwide to standardize the playoff structure.
8-Ball - 1 week of playoffs, winners qualify to the Tri-Annual Tournament (August 30th)
- 4-5 team divisions - 1st Place vs Wildcard
- 6-7 team divisions - 1st Place vs Wildcard, 2nd vs 3rd
- 8-11 team divisions - 1st Qualifies, 2nd vs Wildcard, 3rd vs 4th
- 12-14 team divisions - 1st Qualifies, 2nd vs Wildcard, 3rd vs 6th, 4th vs 5th
- 15-16 team divisions - 1st Qualifies, 2nd vs Wildcard, 3rd vs 8th, 4th vs 7th, 5th vs 6th
* Teams that loose to a qualified World Qualifier team in playoffs will also qualify for the Tri-Annual
9-Ball - 1 week of playoffs (Summer Session Only), winners qualify to the World Qualifier (dates TBD)
- 4-5 team divisions - 1st Place vs Wildcard
- 6-11 team divisions - 1st Place vs Wildcard, 2nd vs 3rd
- 12-16 team divisions - 1st Qualifies, 2nd Place vs Wildcard, 3rd vs 4th
* in the Fall and Spring Session, 9-Ball will be 2 weeks of playoffs, where the winners of the playoff matches will play each other to qualify. Teams that loose to an already qualified team in the final week of playoffs will also qualify for the World Qualifier
