QUALIFY FOR THE 2026 SPRING SINGLES REGIONAL!!

8-Ball Best Chance Singles Qualifier Saturday, November 1st 2025 at Pepi's Sports Bar & Grill, 12:30pm

Winner pays difference entry fee structure: (This is new-sh. Please read!)

From the feedback I received after we did this last time, it seems most preferred the winner pays difference structure. With the price of singles boards going from $160 to $200 this year, I thought we might try a different fee structure this time around. This one will be "Winner pays Difference". Entry is $50. Winners of each board will pay the difference of the cost of the board, which is $65. Less painful for those that do not qualify and those that are paying more are qualified. I think it's a win-win!!

Best Chance qualifiers are seeded, double elimination, 16 players, 7 players will qualify for the 2026 Springl Singles Regional the first weekend in March.

If you are unfamiliar with the APA Singles program, check out this Road to PPC Flow Chart which breaks down the steps needed to compete at the APA Poolplayer Championships (PPC)

Entry is $50 per player, winners pay an additional $65 to cover the cost of the board. You have a 44% chance to qualify!! Note, entry fee reflects the singles board price increase which went into effect January 1st, 2025.

The qualifying window for the 2026 Spring Regional closes on November 30th. I do not have a ton of available dates to run these, so jump on them while you can!!!

7 players out of 16 will qualify per format!!!

Spots are first email, first served!!

IF YOU REGISTER FOR THIS DO NOT NO-SHOW!!!! I need a full 16 players for this to work. If you no-show, I will not allow you to register for future boards.

Please email southoc@apaleagues.com to register and get your spot locked in!! Please indicate which day/format (or both) that you are signing up for and that you have read the new 2025 pricing. I do not want anybody to be surpised the day of the qualifier!

Must have 10 8-Ball scores (for 8-Ball), 10 9-Ball scores (for 9-Ball) in the last 2 years to be eligible.

Winners at the local level will play in the Spring Singles Regional the first weekend in March!!

Winners at the regional level will compete within their Skill Level Tier at the 2026 Poolplayer Championships (PPC) in Las Vegas in April/May for a shot at winning $15,000! We have 8 players heading to the Poolplayer Championships (PPC) this year!! Next year, it could be you!

Finalists receive paid entry, paid accommodations, travel assistance and a prize package!!

Hope to see you all there!!!
