Any player with a monetary obligation to the League will be marked ineligible in<br />playoff / tournaments unless the amount due is paid in full. League Office must be contacted prior<br />to the player playing.<br />Players marked ineligible to play in the playoffs may not coach players, choose or advise the<br />team who to choose to play or when to play the player. These players handicaps may not be used<br />toward compliance of “23 Rule”. Any player that does not fulfill the posted minimum matches<br />played will not be listed on the roster for any higher level tournament (Las Vegas Qualifier or<br />APA Nationals)<br />----------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />If the Player is Marked INELIGIBLE (CROSSED OUT)<br />on the scoresheet. Than that player may not be<br />used to make the 23 rule. <br /><br />However if you know your player does not have enough<br />matches to play, than that player may not play, <br />however you can use their handicap towards making<br />the 23 RULE.<br /><br />The Rule is being re-written by Mike Boyle and will<br />be posted for next session. <br /><br />Rob<br /><br />Rob Peuplie<br />League Manager<br />aka (Red Headed Step Child)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ There are 26 replies, with the last one on 12/24/2008 at 1:52:06 PM by oli8ball<br />Quote:<br />Gmadd<br />  I have seen several teams split over the years.  Usually it happens when players start moving up in numbers.  While the 8 people would like to stay together, they see the problem of making 23 in the future and find that if they split with each team of 4 picking up the right mix to compete--both teams will still have a chance at cities.  If they stay together they may have to play a lineup that is not competitive at cities level tournaments.  First choice might be to stay together, but realism sometimes dictates to split and build two quality teams.  Splitting also comes about when there is personality conflict, or couples who split up.  Not a bad thing to do if both teams can find quality additions and if the split is a good mix for both sets of 4.<br />I think the league likes it because it creates another team to pay dues!!!!  Only kidding.  Remember though, if you split, both teams must keep 4 original members on the roster to retain qualification. <br /><br />Oli8ball]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Every once and a while, we have someone post something that needs a response from Mike, not Rob. This happened on Dec 11th. Rob called me, I looked at the post and I had Rob remove the post from the site until I was able to research the issue and respond to the the person that wrote the post. <br />Seems that this person had an issue with Rob removing the post<br />Which was vague, made several accusations that I needed to research prior to responding to the post. Oh, by the way....after I researched the problem and found that the person who posted about a team sandbagging against his team.....<b>BUT the poster NEVER marked any defensive shots marked against the team he complained about, never marked any complaints against the team on the scoresheets</b>...I went to the website to restore the post and respond, only to find that the original poster had a brain freeze and posted several posts calling Rob names..........seems the original poster was blocked until I was able to see the issue and respond, so the poster used his wife's account to post all of his tirades against Rob and the League.<br /><br />I will be discussing this issue with the person that posted originally and hope to have this issue resolved soon with the poster and his wife<br /><br />I do not mind suggestions to the office on the Forums, I do not mind contructive critisism ......But, I will not tolerate rantings and ravings or posts that are vague and only meant to "stir the pot" <br /><br />If you have a major complaint, or even a minor complaint and you want Rob or mike to look into it, send Mike or Rob an Email with as much info as possible about the problem and we will look at the problem and respond as quickly as we can. <br />This week we have to process the paperwork for all the divisions, double check the points, the handicaps and run the end of session mettings, we are working long hours, either in the office or out at the meetings...making it hard to respond to the posts as quickly as we would like to. <br /><br />Mike Boyle<br /><br />Mike Boyle<br />APA League Operator<br />Bucks, Montgomery, Lehigh and Northampton Counties]]></description>
