It would be nice for a new league and operator to take flight in this area ( Hagerstown/Martinsburg area ) Plenty of players in this area who I think would join......

I enjoy apa and Terry does a good job running it overall. I don't have an issue with the green room per say but I do understand and agree with all the listed advantages that go to players local to the green room and all the disadvantages on the ends of people driving from WV, western md and Eastern shore/salisbury area. There are definitely venues that can accommodate tri cups for the Frederick, Hagerstown and Eastern WV areas to at least help combat some of these disadvantages. This needs to be explored and not just shot down for no good reason like it has been each time it was brought up before.

I'm also from West Virginia , Berkeley Springs to be exact and I know how bad winters can get up this way. I feel there has to be some sore of alternative solution to this issue and believe it could be worked out fairly for everyone involved..

The place is filthy and the owner is rude. The place is rundown and the women’s bathroom is disgusting. We were treated badly by the owner during this last Nationals to Vegas competition.

I think it's a great idea to play more local.

Something to think about ............WHAT IF a New league came into play for the Western Maryland/West Virginia area. How many teams would drop out from Terry's and join up with the new league under a new League Operator ?

It needs to be in a Neutral location so no one has the advantage

We had to shoot and then drive back into an ice storm. Our team had 2 accidents trying to get back. Baltimore was clear but WV had an ice storm and when we called to ask about it we were told if we didnt shoot we forfeited our match. So we had that pressure of knowing our families needed us back at home and we were driving into 1"-1.5" of ice. Our normal 2 hour drive turned into 4.5 hours one way.

Considering quitting my team for the soul purpose of running to baltimore all the time and wasting a whole weekend pretty much. Getting home at like 2am and sleeping in the next day. Not to mention baltimore teams seem to be under ranked, paying a toll, 40 bucks in gas for one trip, oh and the tables suck compared to the diamonds we play our weekly league on. I hate going down there.

This has been going on way too long and I even asked Terry Justice one day why they took the whole game is vannage way from all teams out of the bars that they shoot for all session long just to play at the green Room. It is so that the green Room can receive all the benefits and profits and the bars that have been sponsoring the teams all your long never receive any benefit from any type of play off round so they not only take away from the players they take away from the establishment owners as well. Terry Justice said it is there so that he can keep an eye on the players and keep track of their skill levels will that is an outright lie said hes not even there most of the time. I have not played APA since IS in that back in the nineties and will never play again until this changes and I know many other players that feel the same way.

I have been saying the sane thing for several years. I now live 4 hrs away from the green room and refuse to drive that far ever again for any tournaments.

I've been saying this for many years I live in West Virginia and it's hard on teams especially if we play at 7 we normally don't get back to our vehicles until 1 then drive another 30-45 just get home then if have come back the day that sucks then shooting on maybe 5 hrs of sleep so yes a change is needed
