Together they founded the American Poolplayers Association, Inc. (APA) in 1981 to act as the sanctioning body of the League.
The Argonne Poolshooters began weekly play with eight (8) teams and became members of the American Poolplayers Association (APA) in September, 1993, utilizing the APA rules and handicap system.
The tournament began in 1994 and has grown significantly over the years, as players across North America battle for a spot in this coveted event.
In the fall of 1999 the league moved to Q-Billiards, which was at the previous Le Cue location but under new management.
In January 2002, the National Geographic Channel in conjunction with the New York Times sent a camera crew to Argonne to interview our league members and to video tape one of our league nights.

In October 2010, Bell and Hubbart were inducted into the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame for Meritorious Service!
In 2010, Guinness World Records recognized this event as the World’s Largest Pool tournament.

In the Fall of 2012 the league moved to Q Billiards on 63rd Street in Downers Grove.
