Equipment - Rule of the Week

March 23, 2026 3:40 PM

by San Diego APA

Situation: The host location we are playing at has a few tables. The home team wants to play on a table we believe isn't the best one due to the location of the table. Who decides on which table?

Unless the Host Location management designates a specific table for league play, the Home team picks which table and cue ball to use. You must use the same equipment for the remainder of the matches, unless tables are split, or unless players agree to use different equipment.

Rule: Bylaws page 7 section “Equipment”: https://apa-by-laws.s3.amazonaws.com/prod/921_bylaws_2024.pdf 

You can submit a "Rule of the Week" to the league office:

  • Email to sandiego@apaleagues.com.
  • Email Subject Line must read “SDAPA Rule of the Week”
  • Clearly state the rule/situation and if you know where the answer is found please provide those details.
