San Diego APA City Championship

(Final Rounds of The World Qualifiers)
 
The City Championship takes place once a year after the Spring Session is complete and is considered the final rounds of the World Qualifiers. The winners of the 9-ball BLAST tournaments and the winners of the 8-ball BLAST tournaments from the appropriate league year (Summer, Fall, Spring Sessions) will be entered into the City Championship provided they retain their eligible status as defined in the APA Official Team Manual (OTM). The City Championship qualifies teams to participate in the APA World Pool Championships (WPC - see the OTM for more information regarding the WPC). The league area is granted a certain number of entries for the World Pool Championship based on the number of teams the league area has participating in each format. One tournament board per World Team entry will be run at the City Championship. The City Championship is a single elimination event. The League Operators will record a random draw of qualified teams to determine board placements and match-ups.

In order to participate in the league-year-ending City Championships/WQ, a player must have a minimum of 4 matches with the team during the preceding Spring session and must have been on the roster at the end of the Spring session in order to be eligible to play in the City Championship tournament.   In addition, by the end of the Spring session, participants must have a minimum of 10 matches played in the appropriate format since joining the APA. (Spring Playoffs and Spring BLAST matches count towards the 10 lifetime matches.)  

A player may participate with any team with which he/she is eligible (see the Team Manual for eligibility requirements). If a player is eligible on two teams that meet during the tournament, the player may elect not to play for either team during that match and advance with the team that wins, or he/she may choose to play with one of the two teams, but if that team loses, the player will not be allowed to advance with the team that wins that match. If a team that qualifies for the WPC cannot attend the WPC, then the team that finishes directly behind it in the City Championship will be invited to participate in its place.
