We are feeling extra thankful this morning for all the volunteers who have stepped up to make singles board opportunities available in this final stretch of the qualifying window. If you have run a board already, or if you are scheduled to run a board this month, THANK YOU! This is a huge service to the league and we appreciate your time and effort.
Congratulations to Jim McCluskey (2 wins in a week!), Zhiva "Mr. Z" Ramamurthy, and Logan Lane! These three players, and all players who get qualified by Nov. 30th, will advance to the Jacksonville Spring Regional to compete in their skill level tier for a chance to play in the APA Poolplayer Championships in Las Vegas next year!
There are MORE chances to get qualified over the next 3 weeks -- including TODAY at Beaches QBall, and a free opportunity for veterans in honor of Veteran's Day next week. By player request, we've updated the list below to include the format of the singles boards. Please note that it is possible for the format of the board to change, or that both formats will be available if there are enough players interested.

PS: The APA Singles Program is awesome. Players are eligible if they are active on a team in the format of the board (8-ball or 9-ball), and have played at least 10 matches in the last 2 years in that format (check your player stats on the APA Pool League app to see this info). If you've never tried a singles board before, just show up to play! No preregistration required.
