• Teams – All teams of four compete in the same division. Enter more than once by changing at least one team member. All teams are eligible for prizes.

• Optional events – If you bowl singles, doubles and teams, use the total of your nine (9) game score. A bowler’s first appearance in each event is used towards the bowler’s all-events total.
  • All Events Handicap – $10.00 per person (100% prize fund) – one division
  • All Events Scratch (i.e., no handicap) – $10.00 per person (100% prize fund) – one division

• Averages – Tournament Manager will verify all averages. Averages are determined based on the following priority:
  • Highest sanctioned 2021-22 average (i.e., CTF Book Average), based on 21 games or more
  • Highest sanctioned 2022-23 average as of January 29, 2023, based on 21 games or more
    • If a bowler’s current season average is 10 pins or more higher than their CTF Book Average, the current season average is assigned.
  • If no such average is available, an average of 210 is assigned.
  • Bowlers assigned an average are eligible to be removed from the tournament with a full refund of fees.

Handicap – Handicap is set at 100% of 210 (e.g., 210 base – 110 average = 100 * 100% = 100 pins handicap). Bowlers with averages above 210 are not penalized.

Equipment (NEW) – Bowlers are required to use every hole drilled in a bowling ball for every shot. This applies to bowler-owned equipment only. Any “house” bowling ball may be used.
