Jacksonville APA Singles Boards Target Spring 2027 Regionals

Jacksonville APA has announced a run of 8-Ball and 9-Ball Singles Qualifier boards that can send winners to the Spring 2027 Regionals. The remaining schedule extends from October 23 through November 18 at Beaches QBall, Diamond Billiards and Legends Billiards, with the local qualifying window closing November 30.

Entry fees change with the number of players on a board, and Jacksonville APA says newcomers are welcome alongside experienced competitors. A board winner advances to the regional stage, where the next target is a place at the APA Poolplayer Championships in Las Vegas.

Which Jacksonville APA qualifier boards are still scheduled?

Jacksonville APA published a mix of 8-Ball and 9-Ball boards across three local venues. The first announced board was an 8-Ball event at Diamond Billiards on October 21. The remaining dates are listed below.

The November 11 and November 14 dates are promoted as Veterans Day boards. Players should confirm the active board and start time with Jacksonville APA before traveling because local schedules can be updated.

How much does a Jacksonville Singles Board cost?

The entry fee is based on the number of players assigned to the board.

The sliding fee means a fuller board costs less per entrant. Jacksonville APA encourages players to bring a friend, which can help increase the field and reduce the individual entry amount.

What does a board winner earn?

Winning a qualifier board sends the player to the Spring 2027 Singles Regionals. Jacksonville APA lists the regional dates as:

• 8-Ball Regionals: March 6, 2027.
• 9-Ball Regionals: March 7, 2027.

The regional tournament is the next stage in the path toward the APA Poolplayer Championships in Las Vegas. A local board win is a regional qualification, not an automatic national championship berth.

When does the local qualifying window close?

Jacksonville APA says players have until November 30, 2026, to qualify for the Spring Regionals. The currently published board calendar runs through November 18, leaving a short period before the final cutoff.

Players who cannot attend the October dates still have several November options. The schedule includes weeknight boards, weekend boards and combined 8-Ball and 9-Ball dates.

Which venues are hosting the boards?

The announced schedule uses three established Jacksonville-area pool rooms:

• Diamond Billiards, which hosts most of the listed dates.
• Beaches QBall, where the announcement specifically notes seven-foot tables.
• Legends Billiards, host of the October 29 9-Ball board.

The official post identifies the venue and host for each board but does not publish street addresses. Players should verify the correct location through Jacksonville APA or the venue before departure.

Can first-time Singles Board players enter?

Jacksonville APA says both first-time board players and competitors who have been pursuing a Las Vegas qualification for years are welcome. The announcement does not list the full membership and match-history rules for each format, so players should confirm eligibility before paying an entry fee.

The most important preparation steps are to choose the correct game, verify active APA status, arrive before the announced start time and be ready for the fee associated with the final board size.

How should players choose the right qualifier?

Players should first select 8-Ball or 9-Ball based on the regional path they want to pursue. They can then compare the venue, table size and start time. Beaches QBall is specifically identified as using seven-foot tables for the listed boards, while the post does not state table sizes for Diamond Billiards or Legends Billiards.

Anyone targeting both formats can consider the combined boards on November 11, November 14 or November 16. Because formats may run on the same day, confirm whether entering both is practical before registering.
