The results are in! Please congratulate your Summer 2023 Winners and auto-qualified for VQT:8 BALL: 2 Legit 2 Quit
10 BALL: No English
This past Thursday was the last week of Summer session. Next Thursday 08/24/23 is an off week, so enjoy yourself! Fall session picks back up the following Thurs 08/31/23. If there are any team roster changes, please let us know ASAP!
Recapping what was discussed in the league meeting:
- Fall Session is the last chance for players to qualify for VQT & Nationals.
- Qualification is 8 matches played in each format in at least one session this year
- Nationals will be done differently in 2024 Vegas, going from a traditional double elimination to a 2 stage format
- This guarantees 5 matches played without going 2 and out
- Teams will play 5 different randomized match-ups in race format (handicap will be calculated according to Fargo Rate)
- Points earned at the end of the 5 match-ups will determine if team moves on to stage 2 (top 40% advances)
- Stage 2 is single elimination
**NOTE: Our VQT in January will still be done in traditional double elimination format.
We want to thank everyone for being super patient with us as we try to grow this division. It’s still a work in progress as always, but we do have some new teams coming on board. We have 2 teams coming in Fall, with the potential of max 4 teams joining. We’re super excited for this expansion! See you all in 2 weeks!

Congrats to Thomas G for his 8 WZ patch win!
We officially have the 5th team roster for the start of the Fall Session! We are very excited for the new addition.
Last week, Andrea was able to pocket one ball off the break before calling it quits, taking home $89.00 from the 1 freebie captain ticket.
This brings the 10 ball B&R to $87.00 per ball. Best of luck to the next drawn contestant!

Congrats to the following 8 WZ patch winners: Geury M, Steven K, Ross G, and Shane P!

We have a 5th team coming in Fall Session! This means there will be a bye week in the Fall.

NEW TO THURSDAYS! We will now be hosting a 10 ball break & run on Thursdays, starting tomorrow 06/22/23! We have been doing this at the Montrose location since August 2021, but delayed bringing it over to Biggles due to the small league size. However, after a few asks, we are fulfilling the members’ requests! There will be a separate running pot for the Biggles location, which will be included in the weekly updates. It will start at the same amount as the Montrose location. Keep in mind – it went from $40.00 per ball to currently $715.00 per ball at Montrose. It CAN get big! 🙂 Please see the information below.
- Team Captains will receive 1 free break & run pot ticket per league night
- Cash or Digital payments accepted for ticket purchase(s)
- Digital payouts ONLY. Cash will not be kept onsite
- Only valid for current USAPL members
- All break & run attempts will be recorded.
- If your ticket is drawn, you may ask another USAPL member to break for you. It is between you two how the payout will be split.

We recently had a team captain’s meeting with all the team captains of Houston USAPL. We received some great feedback and suggestions, and we would like to start rolling them out as soon as we can.
For the Biggles location, one of the more prominent comments we received was the lack of awards per session. We hear you, and we are answering your requests!
Beginning this session (Summer 2023), we will start providing patches available for certain accolades, as well as award trophies/plaques for the first place teams at the end of each session. For a list of available patches, please CLICK HERE. We will be backtracking to the first week of Summer Session to acknowledge those who would have received patches.
Please congratulate the following players:
