Captain’s Log, January 23rd, 2012  

This is the 4^th week for many of our divisions, which is the final week that memberships can be submitted without players being dropped from the team. Any unpaid members will be removed. If the team is not qualified for City Championships, they can be added back to the rosters provided we receive their membership fees. APA does accept credit card payments for membership fees through the web site if members wish to pay that way. Qualified teams for City Championships are not allowed to make roster changes of any kind after the 4^th week of play in the Spring Session. You can still add new players to your team, but we do need membership fees submitted the first time they are added to the team in order to be considered a part of the team. The 4 week grace period for membership dues only applies to the first four weeks of the session.

There are still openings for the February 11-12 Bonnie and Clyde Valentine’s Day Massacre at Hungry Stick. The first 64 paid teams will compete in this event. The flyer for this event can be found on our web site.

Membership cards are starting to go out in the envelopes starting this week. They are distributed in the order in which they are received. If you play on more than one team, your membership card may arrive with any one of those teams you play on, not necessarily with the team you submitted your payment with. It is also quite possible that membership cards get sent to the wrong team due to changes in team numbers between the time they are printed and the time we receive them to distribute to the teams. If the membership cards in your envelope are not yours, please send them back to the league office for re-distribution. 

Make up matches, whether to finish up the last match or deciding to play the entire match at a different time and for whatever reason, are perfectly acceptable. However, the league office must be informed of matches that are being played or finished at a later date. If we don’t get notified, we just assume your score sheets are late and mark the team past due.

Sign ups are still taking place for the 8 Ball Southwest Challenge Tournament in Las Vegas on March 23-25. We do still have openings. The flyer for this event is on the web site.

Blast checks are in this week’s packets. Congratulations on a successful Fall Session and good luck in the Blast. Teams that are already qualified for City Championships that have checks coming will need to pick them up along with their trophies at the Fall Session Blast, which is at the Hungry Stick on the weekend of January 28-29. Anyone on the team can swing by to pick up trophies and the Fall Session prize money, but the checks have been made out to the captain of the team unless otherwise specified.

As mentioned, the Blast is January 28-29. That’s the weekend MVP’s, Perfect Session winners and all patch recipients can retrieve their awards. We will be there from 9am to 9pm on Saturday and from 9am to 4pm on Sunday. Need a team manual? We will have plenty on hand at this event as well. Dave Whitsell will be on hand at the Blast for cue repairs and supplies for reasonable prices.  

 For everyone that will be attending the Blast, whether to participate in the event or to pick up supplies, please do not park in the green spaces in the parking lot. These limited parking spots are designated for the other merchants in the complex. Hungry Stick does not allow any outside food or beverages inside the establishment. We will be providing rules of play for the Blast event when your team shows up for your matches. Schedules and rosters have been posted to the web site.
