#PLAYSAFE Reminders and Host Location Updates

January 24, 2022 5:19 AM

by San Diego APA

As COVID-19 cases surge after the holidays, please follow the APA #PLAYSAFE guidelines while playing APA league. We will continue to support our host locations and enforce all host location mandates during league play.

Pockets Billiards and Brew is taking precautions to ensure their establishment is safe for its employees and patrons. Starting January 9th, they are temporarily closing and will remain closed until they can professionally clean and disinfect the entire venue. The Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in-house leagues (Divisions 213, 225 and 031) are cancelled for January 10-12, and league will resume next week with one less week of play for the Spring session for those divisions. Captains of other teams in traveling divisions that are scheduled to play there will be contacted to arrange play at another location or to schedule a make-up.

Thanks for your patience and be well!
