Having fun, meeting people and playing pool is what the APA is all about! You don't have to be a pool shark, because in the APA - everyone can play and anyone can win. The APA wants beginners and novices, because it is the AMATEUR Poolplayers Association. No other organization in pool gives ordinary players a chance to win a share of nearly $1.5 MILLION guaranteed cash and prizes paid out through its national tournaments. How does the APA do it? It uses The Equalizer® handicap system to determine the amount of games a player had to win in order to win the match. It allows a novice to win less games than a more skilled opponent.
