About

The American Poolplayers Association runs The Equalizer, a handicapping system serving over 250,000 members across nearly 300 leagues. Since 2023, First Factory has built a visual brand language spanning league websites, member services, and Scorekeeper, a React Native app players use tableside, keeping data-dense screens accurate and readable even on a phone at the felt.

Challenge, approach, and impact

Data-dense screens, used tableside on a phone

APA's Equalizer handicapping system serves 250,000+ members across nearly 300 leagues, but its web and mobile tools needed to display dense scoring data accurately and legibly even when scaled down to a phone screen at the pool table, without sacrificing accessibility or accuracy.
