The
American Poolplayers Association (
APA) was founded in 1981, although with roots dating back to the
National Pool League (founded in 1979), . The APA conducts a system of franchised-based local amateur
leagues of
pool competitition, including both
eight-ball and
nine-ball, with a unified APA ruleset, and hosts regional tournaments the winners of which qualify for the national tournament played in
Las Vegas, Nevada
The APA uses its "Equalizer"
handicapping system to balance poorly-skilled and highly-skilled players. In eight-ball for example, a lower-ranked player may only need to win two games versus a higher-ranked player's four games. In nine-ball, a lower-ranked player may only need to pocket fourteen balls compared to sixty balls for a higher-ranked player.
The organization has an affiliate in Canada, the
Canadian Poolplayers Association (CPA).
APA is a major sponsor of the
Women's Professional Billiard Association Tour.
