More than 200,000 APA
members compete in sanctioned APA Pool Leagues throughout North
America. The APA Pool League was previously known as (and sometimes
referred to as) the Camel, Bud Light, Busch or American Pool League.
At the local level, APA teams compete weekly in 8-Ball or 9-Ball
with a division consisting of 6 to 16 teams. There are three
sessions of APA League Play-Spring, Summer and Fall. Teams competing
in APA weekly League play can advance to their Local Team
Championships and then to Las Vegas for the APA National Team
Championships in August. All APA league and national
championship play is conducted utilizing the Equalizer handicap
system.
