Cruise Division Fact Sheet:

What’s Different?

· Weekly dues are $75 per team instead of $50, so it will be $15 per person plus greens fees instead of $10.

· Teams that win the playoffs each session in these divisions will automatically be entered into the once a year destination division tournament to compete to win a cruise for their whole team!

· The extra $25 per week will be placed in a separate fund specifically to pay for the cruise vacation for the winning team(s).

· The number of participating destination division teams will determine the details of the cruise – length of cruise, type of room, flights, accommodations for a guest to accompany each player, etc.

· If we get enough participation, we are open to sending more than one team!

What’s the same?

· All APA national rules and local bylaws will still be followed

· All divisions and teams will still compete in all the normal APA events – Tri-Cups, World Qualifiers, MVPs, etc. – Meaning there aren’t separate Tri-Cups and Vegas World Qualifiers, they are competing with the rest of the regular league in these events.

· All scores and payments will be submitted just like regular divisions.

· All eligibility requirements are same for players and teams.

· Teams must retain originality once they win playoffs through the Destination Division Cruise Tournament.

IMPORTANT NOTES!

· Format will be 9Ball Open Team

o If we can add 20-30 additional 9Ball teams, we will also be eligible for more 9ball team slots to the World Pool Championships in Vegas!

· Teams can win BOTH a trip to Vegas and the Cruise if they are successful!

· We will not be playing pool on the cruise – This is strictly a vacation to enjoy some downtime with your pool family!

· The cruise will be scheduled for the following February in order to give teams time to plan, save money for spending and assure they can get time off work in case they also win to go to Vegas as well.

· For this first year, teams will be playing to go to Vegas in August 2025, and then the cruise in February 2026
