The Opportunity:

Winners from this event will advance directly to the Spring Regionals in March. 14 total winners (7 per board) to the Regional Singles! Nearly half the field wins a spot.

Player Requirements:

  • Format & Match Count: You must currently be on an active team in the format you are signing up for and have at least 10 matches played in that specific format.
  • Continuous Play: If you win your board, you must remain on an active team in that format through the Regional event. Failure to do so will very likely disqualify you from the Regional event.
  • March Regional Commitment: By signing up, you understand that winners will play in the Spring Singles Regionals (March 6-7, 2027), so please do not sign up if you cannot commit to this timeframe.

Tournament Policies:

  • Cancellations & Refunds: Players who back out with less than 72 hours notice to the Tournament Director may not receive a refund. We have many players who want to participate; last-minute cancellations prevent those next in line (who may have already made other plans) from taking the spot.
  • Bracket Integrity: For singles boards, last-minute vacancies can make the entire bracket ineligible per APA requirements if the spot cannot be filled before the start time.
  • Attendance Standing: Players who consistently back out last minute or who start the event but do not finish may be subject to a suspension from participating in future singles boards due to the negative impact these situations create for the field.

New: Break Decoder (Legal vs Illegal - Who Breaks)
11/11/26 - 7:15 PM
Break scenarios can get confusing fast—when a break occurs, players aren't always sure whether it was legal or illegal, and more so, who breaks now. To take the guesswork out, we’ve added a brand-new Breaking Decoder to our helper tool! https://claude.ai/artifact/Jmow34vBKai1us3dEkkuuD (both tools) The Break Decoder Tab Not sure what happens after a break?

Object Ball Used as the Cue Ball - Rule of the Week
11/9/26 - 6:00 PM
Situation: During my opponent’s turn, they got distracted and stroked an object ball instead of the cue ball. It wasn’t intentional. Do we put the balls back, or is it ball-in-hand? It depends on whether the cue ball was touched. Hitting a ball other than the cue ball is treated as accidentally moved balls. Accidentally moved balls must be replaced, unless any of the accidentally moved balls make
Double Posting: Legal Lineup - Rule of the Week
11/2/26 - 6:00 PM
Situation: The team we are playing tonight only has 4 players available: Skill Levels 7, 6, 4, and 3 (totaling 20). The rest of their roster consists of 4, 4, 5, and 5. Can their Skill Level 3 player play twice to fill the 5th match? No, to double-post a player when short-handed, your team must still comply with the 23-Rule as if a full 8-player roster were present. The Math: If players 7, 6, 4, a
