The 2018 Sportsmanship Cup TournamentWinner will go to Las Vegas in August to play in Mini-Mania events at The Westgate Resort duringThe World Pool Championship events. Blue Ridge APA is proud to honor one league member from each division with a Sportsmanship Award every session. During the last two weeks of every session, members of the league vote for the person in their division believed to represent true sportsmanship: someone who is fun to play against, has a positive attitude (win or lose), always plays by the rules, and goes out of their way to make sure everyone has fun playing in the league. Please note that award winners from Masters divisions are not eligible for local tournament. Sportsmanship Awardees earn a trophy, a patch, and an invitation to our annual Sportsmanship Cup Tournament, the winner of which receives a trip to Las Vegas to compete in national APA Mini-Mania events during the National Team Championship in the summer.
