APA Host Location Testimonials

 

What current hosts are saying about the APA:

"I won't open a location without offering APA League play to my customers, the benefits to being an APA Host Location are tremendous, your customers enjoy being involved, you and your staff can get involved and it's a great, fun activity you can offer to anyone at your location."

Brian Meehan, Owner, Boston Boozers in Council Bluffs, Iowa; Straight Shooters and Straight Shooters II, both in Omaha, Nebraska

"We do count on the APA, because after you close up at night you've still got to pay the bills, no matter how much fun you had. Without hosting League play you're only going to get so many walk-ins, so you bet we want even more APA players calling Mr. Cue's home...We really do appreciate the APA Leagues playing here, and the players have proved to be great people to have around."

Richard and Susan Sweet, Mr. Cue's II, Atlanta, Georgia

"I love having APA Leagues at my location. The extra business generated by the players is great! We have every type of player in here. Our mix ranges from 21 to mid-60s and we always have a good time."

Keith Robinson, Owner of Side Pockets, Lenexa, Kansas

With over 44 APA teams playing at Beyond Billiards, Scott and Charlotte Rose contribute much of their success to one of the APA's handicap rules. "The 23-Rule is so important. It allows everyone in the room to participate - not just the players who are really good."

Bill Lindsey, owner of The Little Chicago Club, plays on two APA teams himself. "I love pool, and it's a good way to promote the business,  and a great way to network. The APA Leagues have brought an increase in business and income to my location and playing in the League shows my personal support for the organization."

Bill Lindsey, The Little Chicago Club, Black Eagle, Montana

"Having APA teams in my location also helps generate walk-in traffic. People walk by here and see folks inside having a good time, and they come in to check it out for themselves."

Jerry Burke, Owner of Side Pockets, Kansas City, Missouri

On drawing and keeping players at his location, Fast Break's Eldon Carson applauded the APA; "It's like the end of the rainbow, the trip to Las Vegas. These players just love the idea of winning their own pot of gold!"

Rory and Vicki Rosenbach recognize the rewards of hosting teams and have experienced a major boost in revenue since coming on board. "We've gotten a lot of exposure due to our APA League activity. We also feel the APA is the best in organized play, and we're happy to have over 40 teams playing out of our location."
