We use The Lottery system for singles & teams not in the top 25%. Some of the deductions from Player Prize Fund before payouts are The Lottery, Achievements, MVP, Trophies and Prizes.
What is a weekly league due?
An amount of money paid by every league member for each match played. Weekly league dues are $10 and paid when you play a match.
Single Leagues have the option of paying the entire session the first week or pay half the session the first week and the second half by the fourth week. We accept cash and Zelle: napaofcentralflorida@gmail.com
What is a Green Fee?
A fee paid directly to the venue by all league members for the use of pool tables pool during the session. Some venues may offer discounts or free pool to league members. The green fee amount and discount pool policy varies venue to venue.
What is a Commitment Fee?
A prepaid weekly league due for the last 3 matches of the session by a league member. It is paid at the beginning of each session and held in reserve. If a player drops out of the session or fails to complete all their matches, then it is added to the player prize fund. All single leagues require a $30 commitment fee or prepay the entire session usually $120-$180.
Single Leagues have the option of paying the entire session the first week or pay half the session the first week and the second half by the fourth week. Paying half the session is the commitment fee. We accept cash and Zelle: napaofcentralflorida@gmail.com

Lagger’s Choice is any combination of the games mentioned. Hyper Leagues are IDENTICAL to the regular league format that you are accustomed to designed to be played in one or two days.
What do NAPA members play for?
Teams and Singles play for FUN AND CASH PRIZES!
How does the league work?
As soon as the number of singles or teams in a league are set, the league schedule is created. Schedules are based on a round-robin format (singles and teams play the same number of times in a session). There are no League Operator controlled handicaps. There is a simple online scoring system (results the next day). NAPA has an accurate handicap structure based on the Elo rating system with anti-sandbagging measures. Our projected payouts are posted at beginning of each session, so you know the amount of the projected player prize fund. Plus no more counting innings or counting balls, just keep track of wins and have fun!!
Does NAPA have a Dart League?
Yes, NADA North American Dartshooters Association
What is a Poolshooters Tour Stop?
A Poolshooters Tour Stop is a NAPA-sanctioned tournament in multiple game formats held throughout the United States of America and Canada between January 1st and October 1st of each calendar year.
Why are sessions different lengths?
It’s a strict requirement to have schedules based on the number of singles or teams in the division so your schedule will be fair to all. The NAPA Fair Scheduling ensures each team plays the same number of home matches to every other team during the session to create the perfect round robin.
