Captians Tournament

Have you thought of being a Team Captain but needed an extra incentive?

This one’s for you!! The APA Team Captain’s Championship is yet another way to get to the World Pool Championships in Las Vegas. This event has been created for those players who take on the responsibilities of being an APA Team Captain.

Must be an active Jersey Shore APA League member to play!

• All participants must have completed two sessions as a captain of a standard 8-Ball OR 9-Ball. Any combination of being a captain in 8-ball or 9-ball formats for TWO sessions in Summer 2024, Fall 2024 and/or Spring 2025 will qualify you to play. You don’t need to be a current captain, as long as you’ve been a captain for any two of those sessions. (Masters and Doubles captains not eligible).

• Teams of 3 players for Jersey Shore APA local Championship. Skill Level limit 15. (Max in Vegas on the roster is 5 and 3 players play each match.) *Two additional Captains can be added to the Vegas qualified team if desired (but they have to play in the tournamnet).

• All Captains must be actively playing on a 8-ball or 9-ball division this Spring session 2025 and played a minimum of 4 matches to participate in the tournament.

• Only one player of SL 6 or higher may play in any given match

• Standard 8-ball and 9-ball captains qualify.

• Only one SL 6 or higher (8 or 9) is allowed to play in a match.

• Skill Level 8’s and 9’s will be counted as 7’s toward the 15 rule. If a player is a 5 in 8-Ball and a 6 in 9-Ball, they will count as a 6 toward the team handicap. However if they are a 7 in 8-Ball and 9 in 9-Ball then they will count as a 7 toward the team handicap.

• Players may only participate on one team and must be from the same League area.

• Players must have 20 8-Ball scores or 20 9-Ball scores within the last two years, play at least four times in the Spring session and be active on a Summer session roster. Players must have 20 8-Ball scores or 20 9-Ball scores within the last two years to play in the Championship in Vegas by July 1. A combination of scores from the two formats is not accepted.

• New format will alternate 8-Ball & 9-Ball racks.

• In each round, a coin flip will determine which team declares their players first. The team will list three players in ascending order (lowest to highest) to determine the player rotation for that match. Rotation continues, lowest to highest.

• The two players in the first match will play one rack of 8-Ball, the next two play a rack of 9-Ball and the third play a rack of 8-Ball. The rotation resets and the pattern continues until a team reaches the points needed to be declared the winner. Each rack is worth one point.

• Modified Single Elimination.

• Local Qualification tournament determines qualifier. 100% payout of entries.

• This is an official APA event that will qualify the team for the Captain’s Championship that will be held in Las Vegas!
