APT FEATURES
Progressive Big Rack Contest
At each APT event, we conduct a progressive Big Rack contest. Big Rack tickets are sold (only $1 each or $20 for 25) throughout the first day. At approximately 8 p.m., one ticket is randomly selected. The person with the winning ticket has the opportunity to break a 10-ball rack and earn money for every ball legally pocketed after the break. It is an excellent way to earn big bucks!

$10 Entry Fee Discount
For every new APT player that you bring to an APT event, you receive $10 off your entry fee! For example, if your entry fee in $50 but you bring two (2) new players and they sign in with you at the tournament, you get $20 off! Bring five (5) friends and your entry is free!
Big Change for 2020 - Free Entry Giveaway Every Month
Beginning in January of 2020, the winner of the Free Entry Contest will no longer be drawn from the email list. Instead any player who signs up for a regular APT Tour Stop Event online (VA State 10-Ball and VA State 8-Ball Championships are excluded) will have a chance to win free entry into that event. Click here to learn more.
2nd Chance Tournaments
Ever get a few bad rolls? Don't go home early - you deserve a 2nd chance! For those who are eliminated on the first day, we almost always hold a 2nd Chance tournament on the 2nd day. The entry fee for 2nd chance events is half of the normal entry fee and points are also awarded. It's an excellent way to play more, earn more, and stay up in the APT points race!
Top Female Bonus
At each APT event (excluding VA State Championship events), the highest placing female will win a cash prize based on how many females participate. If two or more females finish in the same position, there will be a sudden death playoff for the prize. NOTE: Females with a Fargo Rating of 660 or higher are not eligible for the bonus. If 6 or more females play, there will be a separate women's tournament.
