Is my team already qualified for this World Qualifier event—that is, the Northern NV APA Championships?

Your Team Captain should be able to tell you if your current team is already qualified for this big event.   There is also a list on our website which outlines all teams currently qualified.  You can see this complete list at https://northernnevada.apaleagues.com/CustomPage.aspx?q=513                            .

If my team is qualified, what are the requirements for our individual players this session?

All requirements were outlined in a detailed letter your Team Captain received upon qualifying.   If your team hasn’t qualified yet, or if your team has misplaced that information, you can find these requirements at the BOTTOM of this web page: https://northernnevada.apaleagues.com/CustomPage.aspx?q=513

If my team isn’t qualified yet, do we still have time to qualify? 

Yes, EVERY team definitely still has a chance to qualify.  Especially when taking into consideration the Wildcard Draw, even if your team is currently low in the standings, your team still has a chance to make it into Playoffs—and ultimately the Northern Nevada APA Championships.  To see exactly how teams qualify, visit https://northernnevada.apaleagues.com/CustomPage.aspx?q=1356

What are the dates for the Northern Nevada APA Championships?

For 9-Ball, the dates are May 18, 19, 25 (3-day event).             

For 8-Ball, the dates are June 1, 2, 8, and 9  (4-day event).

If our team ends up qualifying, do all of our players have to be present on all of those days associated with our format/event?

No, not necessarily.   This is just like league night.  You can use different players on your team throughout those days to strategize, so not every player needs to be present at all times.  For strategy purposes though, it’s to your team’s great advantage to have as many eligible players as possible available on those days.

What if our team doesn’t end up qualifying?  Do we have any other chances to play for money and bragging rights?

Yes!  ALL teams who do NOT make it to this event are invited to play in the annual Best of the Rest Tournament.   This is a super fun, relaxed format where teams compete for a total purse of over $4,000.00 (assuming the event fills up).
