Your APA Player number can be found in any one of three places:

• The first is on your weekly team scoresheet. It is the 5 digit number to the left of your name.
• The second is on the Divisional Roster Sheet found in you weekly team envelope. Locate your team on the sheet, then find your name. Your player number is the 5 digit number to the left of your name.
• The final place to find it is on your APA Membership Card. This card will contain an 8-digit number (not 5-digits). The first 3 numbers indicate the APA league you play for and should be 011. These numbers are not entered. You enter the 5-digit number after those first 3. Example: If your APA membership card shows player number 01100001. Do not enter 011. Enter 00001.
You must enter leading zeros. The number must be 5 digits

If you are using your APA Membership Card to register and are experiencing problems click here for a picture of the card, and what to enter.
