AMERICAN POOL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION (APA) LEAGUE
Herbert's features the largest non-traveling division of the American Pool Players Association ("APA") league teams in the state of New Jersey. The APA is the largest organized amateur pool league in America. It uses a unique computerized scoring and handicapping system, that equalizes play for players of all abilities. Teams consist of 5 to 8 players with 5 players competing on league night.
There are three league seasons each year starting in January, May and September. Each league season is 14-16 weeks long. Herbert's league members play on both an 8-ball team and a 9-ball ball team on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
At the end of each 14-16 week league session the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams, plus a wild card team compete in the playoffs for the title of Division Champion. There are separate Division Champions for 8-ball and 9-ball. Each league night at Herbert's is a separate division.
Every 8-ball Division Champion is then eligible to play in the $15,000 8-ball Tricup Qualifier. Every 9-ball Division Champion is eligible to play in the $7,000 9-ball Tricup Qualifier. Since players in Herbert's Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night leagues play on both 8-ball and 9-ball teams they may qualify for both the 8-ball and 9-ball Tricup Qualifiers.
Teams in the Tricup play down to a predetermined number. The winning teams receive substantial travel assistance with their airfare and rooms to the $500,00 National Team Championship in Las Vegas.
Players can choose to play in the league on one night or on multiple nights. League play starts promptly at 8 pm.
APA rules apply to league play. Players must be 18 years of age or over to join an APA team.
The cost of league play at Herbert's is $17 per player per night Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. These fees include all league and greens fees. In addition there is a $20 annual fee to join the APA.
APA league rules limit the number of advanced players that may play on a team in one night. Each APA team must include beginning players to be able to fill its weekly rooster. As a result, Herbert's always has existing teams actively seeking beginning level players.
Registrations are now being accepted.
CORPORATE AND GROUP LEAGUES
Herbert's is currently forming a Happy Hour League consisting of teams from various corporations and groups. Each team must have a minimum of 3 players. If a corporation or group has 6 teams they may form their own division and will play only other teams from their corporation or group.
