Metro Denver APA 8-Ball, 9-Ball, and Ladies Pool Leagues are divided into Divisions by area. A group of 6 to10 teams in an area compete for approximately 14-week sessions. At the end of the session, the top 3 teams plus a wild card team (randomly drawn from all the remaining teams) advance to the Playoffs. The 1st Place team plays the Wild Card team and the 2nd Place team plays the 3rd Place team. The following week, the two winners play each other to determine the Division Champion. The Division Champions receive individual trophies and the 8-Ball & 9-Ball teams are invited to attend the Triannual Tournament. The 8-Ball teams in a ten team division that finish high point are invited to the Triannual Tournament (if the High Points team wins the playoffs, the second place from the playoffs is invited to the Triannuals). There are 3 sessions a year and you may play in any or all of them. 9-Ball teams starting session summer 07 will also attend 9 ball triannuals and Ladies teams do not play in the Triannual Tournament, they go strait to the National Qualifier Tournament.
At Triannuals (a weekend modified single elimination team tournament), all teams that won the playoffs and show up for the tournament receive $100 expense money. The top 8 finishers in the Spring, Fall, and Summer session Triannuals for 8Ball and the top 4 finishers in the Spring, Fall and Summer session Triannuals for 9Ball qualify for the National Qualifier Tournament held each June.
At the National Qualifier Tournament (a weekend modified single elimination team tournament), the top Ladies team receive $1000, the top 9-Ball teams receive $2500, and the top 8-Ball teams receive $5000.(Based on participation is how many teams qualify) all teams that receive money is for expenses. The top teams are invited to the National Team Tournament in Las Vegas at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in August, where over $600,000 in prize money is paid out .
