Ever since the Baton Rouge APA MVP Throwdown was created years ago, one glaring omission from the event was our Master's division players. Since the current MVP structure is based on a points per match configuration geared to standard format 8/9 ball as well as ladies 8-ball, Master's with their current match structure just didn't fit in.

So with that in mind, we've created a new event to coincide with our MVP program designed specifically for our Master's divisions players titled, "Who Da' Man?" While not gender based, the name is a playful commentary on who is the best of the best of our Master's division players.

Qualifications will include 8 matches played during the session. The top two players (and any ties) from each division will qualify based on winning percentage. Players will play for the "Who Da' Man?" award and $500 ($350 for first, $150 for second). The total approximately mirrors the amount available to win in each of our MVP Throwdown tiers.

The "Who Da Man?" MVP event will take place in conjunction with the Summer 2025 Baton Rouge APA MVP Throwdown slated for Oct. 18-19, 2025 at Kenny's Cue Club.
