MEMPHIS APA REMINDER

One of the most common concerns we receive is that a player is intentionally missing shots, sandbagging, or playing below their true ability. In many cases, a Handicap Evaluation Form is submitted and we immediately review the score sheets from the matches in question.

What we often find is surprising: the very score sheets being used as evidence have ZERO defensive shots and ZERO non-performance shots marked.

If a player is intentionally missing, playing safeties, or making decisions that are not legitimate attempts to make a ball, those shots must be marked correctly on the score sheet. When they aren’t, the score sheet tells a completely different story than what players are reporting afterward.

Accurate skill levels depend on accurate scorekeeping.

✔️ Mark all defensive shots.
✔️ Mark all non-performance shots.
✔️ Be honest and consistent when keeping score.
✔️ Submit Handicap Evaluation Forms when concerns exist.

League Management can only evaluate players based on the information that is documented. If the score sheet does not reflect what actually happened during the match, it becomes much more difficult to properly investigate concerns.

Remember: Accurate scorekeeping protects the integrity of the league and ensures that all players are competing on a level playing field.

🚨 REF APPRECIATION POST 🚨

For the last 10 days, while everyone else was chasing trophies, making shots, and sweating over matches, one person has been quietly making sure everything ran smoothly…

WILBUR! 👏👏👏

Day after day. Night after night. Match after match.

He’s called balls, settled debates, answered questions, kept the peace, and somehow managed to do it all with a smile on his face. If there was a table in action, chances are Wilbur was nearby making sure the game was played the right way.

At this point, we’re not sure if he’s fueled by coffee, determination, or some secret referee superpower. 😆

On behalf of Memphis APA, THANK YOU for your dedication, commitment, and willingness to give up your time so our players can enjoy the game we all love.

Wilbur, you are truly one of a kind, and Memphis APA is incredibly lucky to have you on our team.

Drop a comment below and help us show Wilbur some love! ❤️👇

As another League year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU.

Thank you to Big League Billiards for opening your doors and hosting our 2026 9-Ball World Qualifiers this past weekend. Your hospitality, hard work, and dedication helped make this event a tremendous success.

Most importantly, thank you to every player who participated in Memphis APA this year. Whether you won, lost, qualified, volunteered, cheered on teammates, or simply showed up each week to play the game you love, you are what makes this league special.

The friendships built, the memories made, the sportsmanship shown, and the passion you bring to the tables week after week are the foundation of everything we do. We are truly grateful for each and every one of you.

Thank you for your support, your loyalty, and for allowing us to be part of your APA journey. We appreciate you more than words can express and are honored to serve such an incredible group of players.

Here’s to a fantastic season and many more memories still to come. ❤️🎱

Making it to the final round of the Memphis APA 9-Ball World Qualifier is an incredible accomplishment, and we want to recognize these outstanding teams for their hard work, determination, and competitive spirit throughout the weekend.

That opportunity is a testament to the skill and perseverance they demonstrated against some of the best teams in our area.

Thank you for an amazing weekend of competition and for representing the true spirit of APA. We are proud of your accomplishment and look forward to seeing what comes next!
