IMPORTANT MEMBERSHIP INFO

by San Diego APA


We have a major announcement about memberships. Please read this entire post carefully, as it impacts a lot of people. Finishing out this current Spring 2020 session does not require renewing your membership fees unless you are a newly added league member or returning member that wasn't on a team when we got shut down. Those members will be required to renew or pay their membership fees in the first 4 weeks of our return. The good news about this is that we restart on August 15th and anyone paying their 2021 membership fees after August 15th will get the prorated fee for 2022. None of this applies to anyone that qualifies to compete in any of the Showdown Series and Poolplayer Championships events in Las Vegas this year. Everyone qualifying to compete in Las Vegas this year will have to be paid up before we submit your entry. To those of you that have already paid your 2021 membership fees, unfortunately you will not be eligible for the prorated renewal and there isn't anything we can do for you about that other than to direct you to the membership benefits page at poolplayers.com.

Teams that qualify for the World Pool Championships would be qualifying after August 15th, so those would be after the prorate as well. But, those players will have to be paid up before we can submit your team for Las Vegas. The World Pool Championship qualifiers (City Championships) are scheduled for August 21-22 and 28-29.
