Sample league
Sample: River City APA, fall 2026
Forty teams of five play a sixteen-week APA-sanctioned 8-ball season on Monday nights. Each match is five individual sets with race lengths scaled to APA Skill Levels 1–7 — a Skill 2 races to 2 while a Skill 7 races to 7. The 23-Rule caps total team skill on the table. A parallel Thursday 9-ball league uses ball-count scoring with the push-out and three-foul rules.
