Team Fees
Team Fees are $50 per week ($100 for Double Jeopardy) regardless of the number of matches played. Full Team Fees must be paid for Playoff matches and forfeits. Teams may pay through APA Online Member Services, cash or check. If you are paying by check, please make your check payable to Lee County APA. There will be a $25 charge for any returned checks, plus a loss of bonus points.
Team Envelopes
Online/Drop-Off Scoresheet Delivery – Teams are encouraged to keep score using the APA Scorekeeping App. If you do not want to use the app, each week the Team Captain (or any player designated by your team) is responsible for logging onto their APA Online Member Services (OMS) account and printing the team’s scoresheet(s). Scoresheets must be brought to the team match on League night. Scoresheets can be printed up to a minimum of two days prior to your scheduled match. We recommend printing scoresheets at least one day prior to your match should any problems occur (internet outages, printer jams, etc.).
Envelopes will be available at designated host locations (see division rep or host location employee for details). At the end of each League night, the Team Captain, or other designated member of the team, is responsible for placing the completed scoresheet and team dues (if not using the Scorekeeper App and paying online) in one of the envelopes provided. Envelopes are due at a designated Host Location drop immediately after the end of play. If the scoresheets and team fees are not in the drop box after play is complete, your team will not receive any bonus points for that week. A list of drop box locations will be provided with your envelopes on the first night of play.
Bonus Points
Your team will receive bonus points if all of the following occur:
• Scoresheets are complete and correct
• All weekly fees are paid in full and up to date
• No abusive comments are written
The bonus points awarded will be as follows:
• 8-Ball: 2 Possible Bonus Points
• 9-Ball: 20 Possible Bonus Points
Remember these are bonus points that are awarded at the sole discretion of the Local League Office. Keeping current with your weekly fees is important. If you fall behind in payments, you may risk more than your bonus points. You may lose your place in the Playoffs and/or the opportunity to compete in tournaments.
Bonus Points for Bye Weeks
Whenever a division has an odd number of teams one team each week will not have a match. In this instance, the team with the bye shall be given the following points for the week:
• 8-Ball: 9 Total Bye Points
• 9-Ball: 70 Bye Points
Note: Teams do not need to submit paperwork or fees for bye weeks.
Past Due Procedures
1. First Week Past Due: “PAST DUE” notice will be attached to team envelope, or team captain will be notified via call or text.
2. Second Week Past Due: “PAST DUE” notice will be attached to team envelope, or team captain will be notified via call or text. Additionally, the team will not receive match points or bonus points until the balance is paid in full. Once match points are lost, they cannot be recovered.
Late Penalties
Any teams that fall behind in paying their team dues will receive a FINAL NOTICE on their team envelope and points will be taken away. Additionally, the Team Captain (and other players) may be marked ineligible to play by being made INACTIVE on the team. If payment is not received at this time the team will be given notification that they will be dropped from the League for non-payment. If the fees are not brought current by third week or arrangements made to pay the past due balance, the team will be dropped. All players on the team will become equally responsible for the fees that are due, including fees for the remainder of the session, and will not be permitted to rejoin until their portion is paid.

There are no limits on the number of patches you can earn in a session. If you wish to receive a patch for an accomplishment, make sure it is marked in the appropriate section on your scoresheet and fill out the Patch Request form.
