Destination Division Facts

What’s Different?

  • Weekly dues are $75 per team instead of $40 (This may also adjust depending on total team count)
  • Teams that finish 1st in points and teams that win the playoffs each session in these divisions will automatically be entered into the once a year destination division tournament to compete to win a cruise for their whole team!
  • The number of participating destination division teams will determine the details of the cruise – length of cruise, type of room, flights, accommodations for each player, etc. (Room, Flight upgrades and/or additional guests will be players responsibility. Please review the Bylaws for additional info)
  • If we get enough participation, we are open to sending more than one team!
  • The first year we will send one (1) team on the cruise and second place, one (1) team to Las Vegas during the World Pool Championships. Rooms will be at the Westgate.

What’s the same?

  • All APA national rules and local bylaws will still be followed
  • All divisions and teams will still compete in all the normal APA events – Tri-Cups, World Qualifiers, MVPs, etc. – Meaning there are not separate Tri-Cups and Vegas World Qualifiers, they are competing with the rest of the regular league in these events.
  • All scores and payments will be submitted just like regular divisions.
  • All eligibility requirements are the same for players and teams.
  • Teams must retain originality once they win playoffs through the Destination Division Cruise Tournament.

IMPORTANT NOTES!

  • Format will be 8 Ball Open Team
  • If we can add 10-20 additional 8 Ball teams, we will also be eligible for more 8 ball team slots in Vegas!
  • Teams can win BOTH a trip to Vegas and the Cruise if they are successful!
  • We will not be playing pool on the cruise – This is strictly a vacation to enjoy some downtime with your pool family!
  • The cruise will be scheduled for the following Fall/Winter in order to give teams time to plan, save money for spending and assure they can get time off work in case they also win to go to Vegas as well.

  • Note: Once teams earn qualification to either: Tri-Annual, World Pool Qualifier(s), MVP, Great Lakes Invitational or earn a spot in the Destination Tournament teams must remain active for subsequent session(s) to retain eligibility. Failure will result in loss of qualifications.
  • We will have a Summer Division so players and teams can retain eligibility for the Destination Tournament and World Qualifiers. .
  • Fall session=16 weeks, Spring session=16 weeks, Summer session=10 weeks
