We are saddened to be receiving the news that one of the staple host locations in Jacksonville APA will be closing their doors tonight after league due to irreconcilable differences between host location ownership and property management. 9 Ball Heaven has been home to players in our league for many years, and James and Kim Lowe are valued members of the APA family. We appreciate all the support 9 Ball Heaven has shown APA over the years and will miss their hospitality and presence in Jacksonville. But, through trial comes triumph and we’re told good things are in the works. We wish you all the best as you think about the next chapter and look forward to the day when we can break there again. Thank you, 9 Ball Heaven.
We know this announcement brings a lot of uncertainty to many teams. Our office has been considering options in preparation for this possibility and we will make sure every team is taken care of. The options vary depending on the night of play, so we will be contacting Team Captains to discuss the option that makes the most sense for your team. We will be working through the divisions in priority order to make sure all teams know where they are going next week, and schedules are not interrupted.
Tonight’s division will be the last played at 9 Ball Heaven. League play will occur at 9 Ball Heaven tonight, Fri. Sept. 13th at 7pm just like always.
Given that, we’ll be starting with our Monday Team Captains first and working our way day by day from there. Please bear with us and be patient as we work through all 89 teams that need to be rehomed – starting with those scheduled to play on Monday.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work through this together. We’ll get it figured out, and appreciate your patience, ideas, resilience, and loyalty in the process.
Mike & Kelly
