This event marks the 100 year anniversary of the bowling center, and Dan Gerlach is adding money to the prize fund to make this a special celebration of 100 years of bringing the sport of bowling to the city of Lapeer, Michigan. Please check back often to see the progress of the added money, as the goal is to raise $10,000 for this event!

SUNDAY CASHER'S ROUND
Warm-ups go on at 10:00am and roll call begins at 9:15am.
FORMAT A
Qualifying: 9-games across 9 pairs of lanes.
Match Play: Cut to top 1/4 (max of 45 can come back Sunday if we end up with 4 full squads) of each squad, then bowlers return on Sunday to bowl another 9 game block. Pins from qualifying drop, but all Sunday pins carry over. Cut to the top 12 with to bowl 3 more games and cut to the top 6. Top 6 compete in a 5-game round robin with 30-pin bonus for each win and 15-pin bonus for ties. A final game position round with bonus pins will finish the day. 18-game total pinfall plus bonus pins determines the final standings for the top 6.
Prize Ratio: A minimum of 1 in 4 entries will cash in this event
FORMAT IS BASED ON A FIELD OF 96 OR MORE BOWLERS
Format Stipulation #1 -- The 3-game Sunday round that preceeds the Round Robin may be ommitted with a smaller than expected turnout, which means the field would cut directly to the top 6 from the Sunday 9-game round in this instance
Format Stipulation #2 -- If the Armadillo squad ends up being added and we end up with 41 or more bowlers in that squad, then we will take a max of 11 bowlers per squad to Sunday's match play plus 1 wild card based on highest non-qualifying scores from all squads, as we do not want more than 45 bowlers coming back on Sunday. 1 in 4 entries would still cash based on squad cashing ratios.
INCENTIVES
With a minimum of 3 senior bowlers (50 and up), the highest non-cashing senior bowler will receive a last check
With a minimum of 3 lady bowlers, the highest non-cashing lady will receive a last check
For this second year, we will keep it a one day event!
This will be a scratch event!!!
This event will be 6 games of qualifying with the top 1/4th of the field advancing to cash cut and/ or Match play. Top 24 (depending on entries) will make it to match play. If less then 96 entries, then match play will be determined by total entries. We will be bowling on a Kegel Challenge pattern that will be determined at a later date. It will not be hard, but will not be China easy. Match play will be 2 game total pinfall matches. Once we reach the round of 4, it becomes 1 game matches.
Entry for the event will be $100 if you pay the day of. Or you can prepay for this event for $80. Prepaid entries will start on July 1, 2019. Cash is the only acceptable form of payment if you pay the day of, so that we can do payouts that same day. If you wish to use credit card, you must prepay before Sept 25, using PayPal.
Tournament will start at 9am with check in at 8am.
As promised, the payouts I’m about to post are not guaranteed. They are based off of 96 entries. We must hit 96 entries in order to pay this out. This is WITHOUT any sponsor money. Again. This is based off of 96 entries. Top 24 making match play.
Top 8 get byes first round of match play. Match play is 2 game totals, until the round of 4. Then it is one game matches.
Open for ideas if you the bowlers want something changed with it.
