"Cuetec is an outstanding cue and we're proud to have them as a sponsor of
the APA.  We believe Cuetec will develop a wide-range of APA cues to meet
the various needs of APA members," said APA President Renee' Poehlman.

"We are proud and honored that APA has adopted Cuetec Cues as their Official
Cue. More world championship matches have been won with a Cuetec Cue than
with any other brand, and I am sure the APA players will benefit from this
relationship.  As our slogan goes 'Win with the Winners," said John Nusser,
V.P. and General Manager of J.S. Sales. 

The APA, based in Lake Saint Louis, Mo., sanctions the world's largest
amateur pool league, known as the APA Pool League throughout the United
States and as the Canadian Pool League in Canada.  More than 215,000 members
compete in weekly 8-Ball and 9­Ball league play.

Michelob AmberBock is the official beer of the APA and sponsor of the APA
8-Ball League and 8-Ball National Team Championships.  The Diamond Smart
Table, Simonis 860 billiard cloth, Super Aramith billiard balls, the Sardo
Tight Rack and Cuetec Cues are also official billiard industry sponsors of
the APA and APA National Championships.

The APA is generally recognized as the Governing Body of Amateur Pool,
having established the official rules, championships, formats and handicap
systems for the sport of amateur billiards.  o­ne of the keys to the success
of the APA league, administered by local League Operators, is The
Equalizer*, the handicap and scoring system that makes it possible for men
and women of different playing abilities-especially beginners-to compete o­n
an equal basis, much like they do in golf and bowling.

The APA produces three major tournaments each year-the APA National Team
Championships, the APA National Singles Championships and the U.S. Amateur
Championship-that, together, pay out more than $1 Million in cash and prizes
annually!
