1. What Lineup Magic Does
Lineup Magic is a web-based tool that calculates valid lineup combinations for APA, TAP, and other skill-cap pool leagues. It supports 8-ball, 9-ball, and 10-ball formats and is designed to help team captains manage their rosters and plan for match night.
The service is currently in active development (beta). It may contain bugs, experience downtime, or lose data without notice. It is not a substitute for knowing your league's current rules.
