After playing in another league for about 15 years TAP came
to the Atlanta area in 2003. My team and I looked at the rules and decided we
wanted to try something slightly different. We joined a TAP 8 ball league. In
2004 we qualified for the TAP Nationals in New Orleans and managed by skill,
determination, and a great deal of luck to become the 2004 TAP National
Champions.
In my many years as a league player I often said to myself,
“If I owned the local league I would do it this way!” In October 2005 I got the
chance to “Do it my way.” I became the TAP league operator for the Atlanta
area.
Thanks in most part to a great group of players; I have
generally loved the last 7 years as a league operator. I admit I do this mostly
for ego reasons. The satisfaction on any given league night of seeing a couple hundred
friends having a great time due in part to my efforts is beyond price.
Thanks to TAP corporate and all my pool friends for making
my life much more enjoyable and fulfilling than it could have been. I’ll keep
doing this as long as I am able or as long as my league players are willing to
put up with me.
