Regular sessions will consist of 15 weeks*, and 1 week of playoffs.  Each division will qualify the following:

1st Place Automatically Qualifies for World Qualifiers's

2nd Place vs. Wildcard

3rd Place vs. 4th Place

The winners of the week 1 playoff matches will play week 2 against each other, and the winner will advance to the World Qualifier.

*Divisions of 5 or less will qualify 1st Place and a Wildcard for playoffs

**Divisions of 13 or more will also qualify 2nd Place for the World Qualifier and 5th place for playoffs.

See bylaws for details

Tri-Annual's will be held after each session and are an extension of session playoffs.  They will consist of all the qualified teams, league wide from their respective session.  They will be a quick, single elimination tournament that will qualify teams to play in the World Qualifier.

We will qualify 4 teams for 8-Ball and 2 teams for 9-Ball from the Summer and Fall sessions, and 4 teams from the Spring session*.  Teams that qualify more than once will receive a bye (if available) in the World Qualifier Tournament.

Tri-Annual's are used to limit the size of the World Qualifier.  These are essentially replacing the first round of the World Qualifier to make it a more manageable tournament.  

*Team counts subject to change based on size of the division

The World Qualifier is our "Super Bowl".  It is held once a year, and will consist of all the teams that won their Tri-Cup Tournaments.  It will be a Single Modified Tournament, so you are guaranteed to play twice.  We will have an 8 team tournament for each entry into the World Championship.  Currently the Jersey Shore APA receives two 8-Ball entries and one 9-Ball entry into the World Championship.
