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
