APA Masters Division is geared towards the highly skilled players in the APA. The Masters League is team play (3-4 members per team) and is a non-handicapped, no skill level limit league. Following the U.S. Amateur rules and format, each match in Masters League is a race to 7 and will include 8 games of 9-Ball and 5 games of 8-Ball.

          A Night in the Masters League...

A coin toss determines which team picks a player to shoot the night's first match. A player is chosen and announced to the opposing team. The opposing team then decides who on their team is best suited to play that player and the match is set.

In Masters League there are no skill levels. It is a race to 7, eight games of 9-Ball & five games of 8-Ball. The winner of the lag has choice of game format or break; the entire set of that format must be completed before playing the other format. Unlike the regular 9-Ball leagues, it is about pocketing the nine in 9-Ball. In addition, the 'push out' is allowed after the break during games of 9-ball and the use of jump cues is allowed in Masters Division play.

Players will earn one point for each game won. The first player to 7 wins the match. With the match decided, the process is repeated with teams alternating who puts up a player first in each of the remaining two matches. Once the three matches are completed, points earned are added up with teams being able to earn a maximum of 21 points per night.

The winner of our Masters League will compete in the prestigious annual APA Masters Championship in Las Vegas in 2026.
