We’re #1 (APA League)

All I have to say is … WOW

A few months ago, I walked into a bar to meet up with “Capital C” and APA League watch her team play their first APA match. They were short a player and, out of the blue, her team captain asked if I knew how to shoot… Next thing I knew, I was playing the first ~~tournament~~ league game of my life, and winning it to boot.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that a few months later I’d be skipping the playoffs and moving directly to the citywide APA tournament with a good chance at making it to the APA Nationals in Las Vegas.

What a whirlwind couple of months. I’d always enjoyed shooting pool, but I’ve never taken much time to get into the game at a competitive level. I was a slightly-above-average bar room player. It’s really difficult to grasp that I’m on a team of 5 active players that managed to work together and take the #1 spot.
