IN THE 1980'S, LARRY FARMER REALIZED THAT THE APA© AND MOST OF THE OTHER LEAGUES WERE NOT THAT GOOD A DEAL FOR MOST OF THE POOL PLAYERS IN AMERICA.

HE DESIGNED A FORMAT THAT TRULY BENEFITED THE POOL PLAYERS AND NOT SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE - THAT WE'VE NEVER MET.

HE DESIGNED A SYSTEM THAT TRULY HANDICAPPED THE PLAYERS AND ONE THAT WAS FOR MONEY NOT TROPHIES ! HE ALSO MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SANDBAG, BECAUSE WE GO BY THE AMOUNT OF BALLS YOU POCKET IN A GAME - NOT HOW MANY TIMES YOU LEAVE YOUR OPPONENT.

WE ALSO REALIZED THAT SENDING YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE - DOES NOT BENEFIT MOST OF THE PLAYERS IN EACH AREA ! SO, IN THE POOL PLAYERS OF AMERICA - THE MONEY STAYS IN THE LOCAL LEAGUE AND IS GIVEN OUT IN THAT AREA !

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS THIS FORMAT HAS BEEN REVISED AND REFINED ENOUGH TO WHERE I FEEL WE CAN OFFER IT ALL OVER AMERICA. WE OFFER EACH LEAGUE 2 FORMATS AND THEY DECIDE WHICH ONE THEY LIKE BETTER. WE ALSO HAVE A " COUNCIL " THAT IS MADE UP OF 3 POOL PLAYERS AND 3 BAR OWNER'S. THIS COUNCIL CAN CHANGE THE RULES IN EACH LEAGUE TO SUIT THEIR AREA.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU BOIL IT ALL DOWN - " THE GOVERNING BODY OF POOL " - IS THE POOL PLAYER PUTTING THE MONEY IN THE POOL TABLE - BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM - YOU DON'T HAVE POOL !!

THIS IS WHY THE NAME OF OUR LEAGUE IS CALLED:

IF YOU ARE TIRED OF PAYING TO PLAY IN THE OTHER LEAGUES, IF YOU ARE TIRED OF YOUR MONEY GOING OUT OF YOUR AREA, IF YOU ARE TIRED OF PLAYING FOR TROPHIES AND NOT MONEY - WHY DON'T YOU COME PLAY WITH US !!!

THANKS,

THE POOL PLAYERS of AMERICA© .
