Tournament Format
This is a singles tournament. Each bowler will bowl three games. Total pins fallen across the three games will determine final standings. No stepladder finals will be held. Winners will be determined after all scores are recorded.
9-Pin No-Tap Scoring
If a bowler knocks down 9 pins on the first ball, it will count as a strike. A standard 10-pin strike also counts as a strike. All other scoring follows standard bowling rules.
Eligibility & Averages
Bowlers must use their highest established book average from the most recent season. If a bowler does not have an established book average, the tournament director will assign an average of 220. Tournament officials reserve the right to re-rate averages if necessary to maintain fair competition.
Handicap
Handicap will be 90% of 220. Handicap will be applied each game and added to the bowler’s scratch score. Total score cannot exceed 300 per game or 900 per series. Handicap will only be used for handicap standings and handicap brackets.
