Reminders: Qualified teams must remain active in the summer 2025 session to participate. The tables used for this event are custom Valley 3.5 X 7 tournament edition tables.

Greens fees are due to the league office no later than May 9, 2025.
No weekly league matches are scheduled for our Friday, Sunday or Monday teams during the World Qualifier. Thursday night teams that wish to participate in our tournament/practice night must pre-play or make-up matches. Weekly league matches are not allowed to be played at the world qualifier tournament site.
Team certification forms must be downloaded and filled out and returned to the league office. Please download, fill out, scan and return forms to dvolz@apaleagues.com. Teams will not be allowed to participate without a fully completed certification form on file. Forms may be accessed online at https://batonrouge.apaleagues.com/worldqualifier25.aspx.
