All: most if not all of our larger locations have rules concerning chalk. Please be aware of and respect these rules! If in doubt, use chalk supplied by the location. Usually, using chalk that matches the color of the cloth on that location's tables is acceptable. Often, a high quality caulk like Taom that does not transfer color to the cue and the cloth is OK - if in doubt, check with the house. Black chalk in particular is pretty much never OK. If you have black chalk in your cue bag, do us all a favor and just throw it in the trash can. If you see an APA player (team mate or opponent) please either mention this note to them or let the division rep (or me) know so we can relay the message. I know most of you appreciate well maintained tables... let's do our part in helping keep them in good shape.

Also related - don't sit on the rails... don't slam your cue stick on the table... don't put drinks on the table... don't pound balls on the table when racking.

Some locations will kick you out if they catch you blatantly abusing the tables... don't come running to me if that happens.

Thanks. 👍
