Captain’s Log, May 14th, 2007 

Welcome to the Summer Session, and a whole new APA calendar year. Every team starts off tied for 1st place with hopes of getting qualified early for the 2008 APA City Championships. We wish each team the best of luck. The 2006-2007 SDAPA calendar year featured over a quarter of a million dollars in cash and prizes paid out, and we look forward to paying out even more this coming year.  

The Spring Session Blast is this coming weekend at the Hungry Stick. Schedules for the Blast are posted. Not every team will be participating in the Blast. Many teams will be drawn straight into the City Championships due to the high number of Spring Session teams that we qualify for City Championships. All teams that participated in the Spring Session playoffs should double check the Playoff pages to make sure they aren’t qualified to compete in the Blast or City Championships. Several teams qualified to compete in Blast or City Championships by finishing directly behind an already qualified team in playoffs.  

8 Ball City Championships are June 2-3 and 9 Ball City Championships are June 9-10, both at the Hungry Stick. Get your pool cues primed, it could be a very fun ride. 9 teams will qualify for the APA National Team Championships this year. We wish all teams the best of luck. We will have the City Championship schedule posted to the web site very soon after the 8 and 9 Ball Blasts are completed. 

Sunday divisions start next week. Everyone else starts this week. Please note that there will be no matches scheduled during Memorial Day weekend.  

PLEASE THROW AWAY ANY OLD COURTESY RETURN ENVELOPES. Postage is now $0.41 and the new envelopes that we provide you have the new postage rate stamped on your envelope. Also, we moved out of the UPS Store 3 months ago and some mail still ends up going there. That box is rented to someone else now, so if you send your envelope there, it may never make it to where it belongs. The address to mail score sheets to if you do not receive a return envelope is: 

SDAPA
P.O. Box 19848
San Diego, CA 92159 

If you are not receiving your team packets prior to your league match, please contact the SDAPA league office. We do not forget to mail them. If you are not receiving it, either there is incorrect address information, you have not updated your address with the post office or the mail got lost or damaged on delivery. 

Weekly team fees are $40.00. Fees can be paid in the form of cash, check or money order made payable to APA. Teams have 4 weeks to submit the $20.00 membership fees for any newly added members. Your return envelope with score sheet, applications and league fees should be postmarked the first business day after your league match. Bye sheets should be signed and returned. There are no team fees for a bye. 

We have a lot of new teams starting up this week. Anyone matched up against a new team is encouraged to help these teams get started. They will appreciate your assistance.  

This newsletter is something I try to send out each week to every team in the league. It’s an information newsletter that is designed to help you gain a better understanding of everything APA. Please share it with all of your teammates. We post them to our web site for your viewing pleasure, also. 

Have a great week and Shoot Pool Good!      Brian/Jill/Lindsay      619-303-0183         sandiegoapa@cox.net     sdapajill@cox.net        sdapalindsay@cox.net         Office Hours: 9am-7:30pm  daily        www.sdapa.com
