Verify that all team members are valid APA members of legal age and that they are playing at the skill level that reflects their true ability.

Collect membership fees and league dues from each player and submit to the appropriate drop off location the day after play.

Distribute the weekly information that may appear in your envelope so all players are informed of any important changes, notices, upcoming tournaments, etc.

Be responsible for having teammates at the scheduled match site on time.

Make sure proper score keeping procedures are followed.

Captains are responsible for the overall behavior of the team, and should notify the league management of any member who is not following good sportsmanship.

Pre-Payment Option: In order to avoid falling behind on your dues, or having to pay for forfeits out of your own pocket, captains may wish to pre-pay the entire session in the first or second week. A separate notice will be included in your first week's envelope explaining the benefits and procedures of this option.

All new players must pay their $25 membership fee. Team captains will be held responsible for any membership fee's not paid by players. DO NOT ALLOW A NEW PLAYER TO PLAY until they give you their membership fee. Unfortunately, we have to pay the $25 membership to St. Louis for every new player, even if a team drops him or her from their roster after 1 match. If you collect the money before the match, you will not have to worry about paying for it out of your own pocket.

During the first few weeks of play, we may have schedule changes. We appreciate your patience with these changes, and please be assured that we are doing the best we can to minimize this. We have no control over the schedule changes that occur, yet they are necessary. Our first priority is to make sure that teams have an equal amount of home and away matches (within 1 match). This often means that a team will have to play an away game with the same team twice.

There are no full night forfeits for the first 2 weeks of play. There are sometimes communication problems on some teams. There are also some new teams that are not familiar with the league and we ask the veteran teams to assist them with the rules and such. Thank you!
