If you are an establishment that has one or more pool tables and want extra business - hosting a NAPA league is a great way to bring more people to your place!

Unlike many leagues, NAPA does not ask the establishing to provide shirts, drinks, pay for team dues, or pay any type of location fees.  In fact, we don't ask for anything but the privilege of allow players to come to your place and play, drink, eat, and most importantly have fun!

What do you get?

• Two teams with a total of anywhere from 6-12 people plus girlfriends, wives, husbands, children, friends, etc that will be there for at least a couple of hours. They could come to eat or, at the very least, get something to drink.
• If you only have one team playing out of your establishment then you will have this traffic every other week since the teams play "away" half the time and at your establishment half the time.
• If you want teams in your establishment every week then you can be home location for TWO teams. That way each week you will have 8-12 people there for league.

If you have regulars that play pool, then you can offer then NAPA... what do they get?

• NO annual dues. This could save them as much as $25 or more per year.
• 3, 4, or 5 person teams for 8 ball  so you don't need as many players on a team. Other leagues require 5-8 players.
• We recommend 5 person teams (no more than 8 players on a team) for 9 ball, 10 ball.
• We play 8 ball, 9 ball, 10 ball, Lagger's Choice, singles, scotch doubles, scotch triples, double play and more.
• The players get to play MORE games to be competitive. Sometimes the races are 10-2 based on handicap differences. Usual races are less games.
• Higher payouts in four person league that other leagues in five person payouts. You don't have to split your winnings with a lot of players.
• Deeper payouts. Generally, we pay out to the top 50% of teams or even all the teams if the players of the league request it. Most leagues only pay the top 2-4 teams, maybe the top 25% at most. We can do that too but it is up to the PLAYERS! The PLAYERS also determine what night and how much each week they pay, and team handicaps.
• Invitation to play in a LOCAL larger payout annual tournament. All the players have to do is play 5 matches in each of two seasons out of three in NAPA and they are qualified to enter

What do we want from you?

We ask is that you open the tables to allow the players to play without paying for their games.  This is not a prerequisite for the league, but it does make it easier to attract players to your location to play.  In some areas, it is customary to play for games.  In some cases bars do not own the tables.  Ultimately it is up to the venue to decide whether the players play for free, or at what cost.

What if you do not want to give up the quarters or green fees for the games? We typically play about 22-25 games a night per league (double that for double play). If you charge $1 per game that is about $23 average you would lose in quarters as the worst case (less if you split it with a vendor). Most players come to spend a certain amount of money. If they have to pay for the game ($1 per game), pay dues (typically $7 to $8), that leaves less money to spend for a drink or food. If the payment for the game is eliminated the players have more money to spend, likely they will buy drinks or food. Now if 8-12 players have more money to spend, I know they will spend more than what you lose in quarters. Losing $23 in quarters is about $2 for every player there. How much does a beer cost? Instead of nursing a beer all night long they may buy two or three giving you many times your $23 back. So losing $23 in quarters is a small price to pay to have more food and drink sold and it makes your players happy!! As an added benefit players normally stay later after league ends so that benefits you again. Who knows, you may gain additional customers due to your generosity.
