FIRST CHANCE TO QUALIFY FOR THE 2026 FALL SINGLES REGIONAL!!

Best Chance Singles Qualifiers

8-Ball:

Friday, April 10th, 2026 at Pepi's Sports Bar & Grill, 6:45pm

9-Ball:

Monday April 13th, 2026 at Pepi's Sports Bar & Grill, 6:45pm

Winner pays difference entry fee structure: (Please read!)

Instead of splitting the cost of 7 Qualifier Boards by 16 players ($87.50 esch), we will have a lower entry fee and winners will pay the balance of the cost of their Qualifier Boards. 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 Falll 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 Fall Regional closes on June 15th. 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. 

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.

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 Fall Singles Regional the first weekend in October!!

Winners at the regional level will compete within their Skill Level Tier at the 2027 Poolplayer Championships (PPC) in Las Vegas in April/May for a shot at winning $15,000! We have 5 players heading to the Poolplayer Championships (PPC) this year!! Next year, it could be you!
