The APA conducts an annual singles program that is challenging, fun, and potentially lucrative for APA members. The program consists of three levels of competition. At the Local level, players compete on singles boards for a chance to advance to the Regional level. At the Regional level, players from different league areas meet to compete, with the winners advancing to the National level, where $200,000 in cash and prizes awaits!

The
8-Ball Classic is the singles program for 8-Ball players. There are two
qualifying windows for the 8-Ball Classic. Players who win a singles board
between January 1 and June 15 qualify for the Season 1 Regional, which is held
in the fall of each year. Players who win a singles board between June 16
and November 30 qualify for the Season 2 Regional, which is held the following
spring.
The
9-Ball Shootout is the singles program for 9-Ball players. The qualifying
window for the 9-Ball Shootout opens January 1 and closes November 30.
Players who win a singles board during that window qualify for the 9-Ball
Shootout Regional, which is held in the spring.
The Regional and National levels of the 8-Ball Classic and 9-Ball Shootout are broken into tiers by skill level. There is one tier for beginner and novice players, one for intermediate players, and one for advanced players. Once you reach the Regional level, you only play players within your own tier. To become a national champion, all you have to do is win your tier at the National level. The APA crowns six national singles champions each year!
