This is the most renowned place for amateur poolplayers to compete and win against people around the world. Tournaments come and go, but the title for “U.S. Amateur Poolplayer Champion” lasts forever!

The APA was founded in 1981 and is now the world’s largest amateur pool league with over 250,000 members and nearly 300 leagues across the U.S., Canada and Japan. The APA was founded with amateur pool players in mind. The league uses a “handicap” system called The Equalizer that allows for players of all levels to participate and win in these large tournaments. This brings various levels of skills and abilities together and is a great representation of comradery and why we all love the game.

PoolDawg is actively involved in these tournaments and with this new level of sponsorship, we’re stoked to be able to bring the events live to people who aren’t able to make an appearance. Make sure to tune in!
