Named Best Association Site by Billiards Digest 
The
American Poolplayers Association, the 800-pound gorilla
of amateur billiard leagues, has a pretty darn good
site! It presents itself simply but thoroughly, with
links that are easy to find – something we couldn’t
say about many of the other association Web sites.
The colorful site also provides a comprehensive history
of the organization; outlines the organization’s
purpose, mission, and goals; and cites ways to get
involved. From the look of the site, it’s clear
that the APA has worked hard to make billiards accessible
to the average Joe, and we applaud the group for providing
this valuable resource for their past, current and
future members.”

New
APA Member Wins Her First Match
Jasmine
Nicholas, from Brooklyn NY, recently joined the
APA league in the begining of 2005. She had never
played the game before, but approached each match
as if it were her last, making shots at times that
some intermediate players would envy. Until recently
however, Jasmine was not victorious in winning a match
or even a game.
That soon changed when her team mates came together
and decided to help her with her learning process.
As a result, through hard work and overwhelming support
from her team (the Poolkatz) Jasmine won her first
game and match this month, October 2005. The8knights
solutes Jasmine and the Poolkatz for demonstrating
that there are no limits, when working together as
a team.
