Membership Info

While some membership cards require you to be able to jump the cue ball, bank it off three rails and sink the eight ball all blindfolded, getting an APA Membership Card is much easier. 

Simply fill out the appropriate form (Single Registration or Team Registration) and the League Operators or a Division Representative will contact you and get the ball rolling, so you can start playing pool.

After all, that is what the APA is all about - playing pool and having fun doing it. 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 the more than $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 has to win in order to capture the match. It allows a novice to win less games than a more-skilled opponent to win a match.

And you do not have to have bring a team to play in the APA.  Individual players are continually joining and teams are put together as needed.  Bring a friend, your spouse or significant other, neighbor, coworker, or whomever and let the fun begin.
