Larry Hubbart and
Terry Bell
In 1979,
after several years on the professional circuit and with
numerous titles under his belt, Terry "Texas Terry" Bell
developed an idea for a centrally controlled nationwide
amateur pool organization. He realized how popular
billiards was becoming and knew that no organized system
for recreational league play existed. So, amid much
skepticism among professional players, Bell joined forces
with Larry "The Iceman" Hubbart, who was also competing on
the professional circuit. Together they founded the
American Poolplayers Association, Inc. (APA) in 1981 to
act as the sanctioning body of the League. Previously
known as the American Pool League, Busch Pool League, Bud
Light Pool League and the Camel Pool League, the APA now
sanctions and oversees the APA 8-Ball League and APA
9-Ball League in the United States and the
Canadian Pool League
in Canada. |
