<><><>TOTAL FIELD IS LIMITED TO 72 ENTRIES<><><>

BALL LIMIT
Each bowler will only be allowed to have 6 balls in the building during competition and can only use those 6 balls.  Friends/Family can take equipment OUT of the building after warm-ups as needed, but bowling balls can not be carried into the building once competition starts.  If a family member or friend brings a bowling ball into the center for a bowler during competition, then that bowler will be disqualified from the event if he or she throws that bowling ball in competition.

FORMAT
Qualifying: Bowlers in each division will bowl 6-games of qualifying, moving pairs after each game.  Bowlers only compete within their own division.

Match Play: Cut to top 8 (based on a minimum of 36 entries in each division), then bowlers compete in a 1-game match, high seed versus lowest seed. With fewer than 36 entries in either division, that division will go directly to the round robin finals.

Round Robin Finals:  Remaining 4 bowlers compete in a 3-game round robin final with 30-pin bonus for each win and 15-pin bonus for any ties.  All entering pinfall is dropped at this point.  3 game total pinfall plus bonus pins determines the final standings for the top 4 bowlers in their respective division.

Prize Ratio:  A minimum of 1 in 5 entries will earn scholarship money in this event.
