At the local level, APA members compete on a Local Qualifier Board consisting of four to eight members with one player advancing on to regional competition. The local entry fee for this competition starts at $15*, and there is no limit on qualifying attempts. Qualifier Board winners advance to the Regional and National levels with no additional entry fee. At the local level, Qualifier Boards are open to players of all skill levels. Board winners advance regionally and nationally to one of three Skill Level Tiers that corresponds with their Skill Level. The Singles Program also utilizes the Equalizer® handicap system.
