Every team competing must fill out a certification sheet. Those players that do not sign, will not show up on the scoresheets.

CERTIFY SKILL LEVELS - Only those eligible players who completed the skill certification form can compete. Each team MUST fill out a certification sheet.  EACH player must certify themselves (the captain CANNOT write down their skill level for them) at what they think their skill level is.  This paragraph taken straight from the certification sheet will help you
Each player’s HIGHEST SKILL LEVEL is the highest of the following: (1) the skill level that the player and the Team believe represents theplayer’s best pool playing ability, (2) the player’s highest APA assigned skill level in any APA League area in which the player currently plays, (3) the player’s session-ending skill level in the session in which the Team qualified for this Tournament, (4) the player’s highest session-ending skill level in any session after the session in which the Team qualified for this Tournament, (5) the skill level assigned to the player by a Handicap Advisory Committee for a Local League, or APA’s Handicap Review Committee (the “HRC”)

Click here to download the Certification sheet   **This must be filled out AND turned in BEF ORE your first match starts. Please make sure the captain gets everyone to sign and it is turned in prior to your first match time

Players will play at their highest session ending skill level since your team became qualified OR your highest APA assigned skill level in any APA league in which the player CURRENTLY plays

Please keep in mind that if someone is currently playing at a higher skill level- their handicap will be adjusted before the start of the tournament.

Effective immediately, Central Ohio APA is no longer authorized to operate leagues at Hammer Time Pub or Lee's Sports & Spirits. These venues are situated in counties for which I do not hold the rights.

EVERYONE really should read the bylaws, because I guarantee there are things you think you know, but don't. BUT the 2 big things that are new NO REPLAY RULE If you do not have enough players that night, you need to forfeit the match. If your opponent will let you do a makeup for a single match, that's fine, but it MUST be done within 1 week or it's a forfeit. Skipping a Match in Double Jeopardy h
