Just trying to get some momentum going in here, so thought I would post an APA gripe discussion. Specifically, NOT about the APA itself, for example rules/scoring/slop, or that stuff. I'm curious what kind of gripes you have about playing APA matches.
My personal gripe, slow play. Played a match last night, I'm a 4 as is my opponent. I won 3-1, but my opponent played soooo slowly that the match took probably twice as long as it should have. I realize, I can say something about slow play, but I try and be a good sport since I honestly do like the vast majority of the people on my league. Anyway, that's my gripe for now. What's yours?

Slow play is not a gripe specifically to APA. I play in two other leagues besides APA, and it happens. You know, it really used to bother me and take me out of my game. Now it's just a minor inconvenience. Yes it sucks, but I just deal with it I guess.
Actually, a recent match I had last session (APA league) one guy took so long shooting the rack, he didn't realize he had a B&R until I congratulated him on it.

Slow shooters are everywhere, they are especially bad on the B side of double elimination brackets while the players on the A side sit waiting and waiting. I agree, I used to get rattled waiting for slow shooters, now I focus on other things. It seems like my fast pace sometimes throws them off a bit.
