| |
|
NOTE: A bowler with a 210 or under average may bowl scratch or handicap but must declare before each squad.
Choose and Pay For Your Squad(s)
Your first squad costs you $280. Your first re-entry each day is $200 (except your first day when its $280) All same day re-entries are always $99.
Bowl your 3 games on the lanes assigned to you
* 1 in 10 in your division each squad advances to the finals & earns 1 bye (min. $500)
(Note: At least 1 bowler from each division is guaranteed in the finals from each squad no matter how many entries there are)
* 1 in 5 bowlers in your division each squad cashes immediately (min. $100)
NOTE: Senior bowlers age 60+ (Super Seniors) will bowl in the senior division but have a second chance to make the finals. After all of the 16 qualifying squads are completed all of the Super Seniors scores will be combined into 1 list. If 1 in 10 Super Seniors did not advance to the finals in regular qualifying more will be added until the 1 in 10 ratio is met. Bonus: The top Super Senior series will be awarded 3 byes and guaranteed $1,000!
Re-enter
*If you did not make the finals you can re-enter, at a discount, any squad you like and try again.
*If you made the finals you can re-enter to earn more bye(s) by qualifying for the "Match Play Bye Tournament" (see details on how to earn byes) All bowlers advancing to the finals through a qualifying squad automatically earns 1 bye.
The Finals
*The finals begin on Sunday, July 4th at 9am
*All rounds are one game by division with the top 50% advancing each round
*When 1 bowler from each division remains the Super Bye Winners from each division bowl a 1 game match against the remaining bowlers in their division to determine who advances to the Championship Shootout.
*The Championship Shootout is a 1 game match bowled scratch against the 3 division champions. Top 3 places will pay: $20,000-1st, $10,000-2nd, $7,500-3rd
Why it's smart to re-enter:
*All re-entry squads are discounted (as low as $99) but the payouts/ratios remain the same
*You should keep on trying to make the finals to qualify for a chance at the $20,000 top prize
*If you have already made the finals you need to re-enter to qualify for 2 byes, 3 byes or 6 byes
*You may cash on every entry and earn money in the brackets and side pots
