What is the Greater Scranton APA MVP Program?

  The Greater Scranton APA MVP (Most Valuable Player) Program is designed to increase competition and reward those players who consistently perform well for their team, embody sports professionalism, and exude Good Sportsmanship.

  • A Greater Scranton APA Pool League Member
  • Currently active on a 23-Point 8-Ball or 9-Ball team
  • In good standing and current on all League dues
  • Free from Sportsmanship complaints
 You've already been enrolled into the MVP Program!

How does the MVP Program Work?

  The MVP Program compare the PA% (Points Available Percentage) of the "individual player" against the PA% of other players of the same skill level.  The top player from each skill level that played a minimum of 6 matches in the regular session becomes eligible to receive the MVP Award!
 Using regular session data, qualified players are determined using the following equation to determine their PA% (Points Available Percentage)
 

Examples of calculating your PA%

8-Ball Example:
In an individual 8-Ball match, a player has 3 points available to win.  If he/she played 10 matches, they had 30 possible points available to win.  If they won a total of 13 points, then their PA is 43%
10 matches = 30 points available to win
13 points won = 13 / 30 = 0.43 or 43% 
9-Ball Example:
In an individual 9-Ball match, a player has 20 available to win.  If he/she played 10 matches, they had 200 possible points available to win.  If they won a total of 162 points, then their PA is 81%
10 matches = 200 points available to win
162 points won = 162 / 200 = 0.81 or 81% 

How are ties broken if the PA% is the same?

  Ties will be broken in the following order using regular session play:
  1. Total number of matches played
  2. Win percentage
  3. Performance Points
  4. Lifetime Win Percentage
