Tournament Rules
- This tournament is USBC certified. All participants must hold a valid USBC membership card and be a USBC Collegiate member.
2. This tournament will be contested on an official USBC Sport Bowling Pattern.
3. Rosters may include up to 8 players, with two divisions: Men/Mixed and Women.
4. Entry fees are due by Monday October 24th, 2022. Fees paid after that date will be charged at a rate of $225.00
per team. Those teams not showing up to the event will be refunded the entry fee less the posted tournament
expense fees ($40).
5. Teams may substitute up to 3 times in one game, however, once a player comes out, he/she may not return
during that game, and the credit for the game goes to the player who started the game!
6. FORMAT: Each team will bowl six conventional games on Saturday and four - 4-game baker sets on Sunday.
After the bakers, the top 8 VARSITY men’s teams and the top 8 VARSITY women’s teams (based on 24 or more,
otherwise just 4 will advance) with the highest total pin fall will be seeded into a bracket match. The teams will
bowl a best of 3 match (first to get 2 wins) with the winners advancing. For the JV Divisions, if there are between
2 and 9 JV teams, the top 2 (from different institutions) will advance, but if there are 10 or more JV teams, the top
4 (from different institutions) with the highest total pin fall will be seeded into a bracket match. The JV bracket will
also be a best of 3 match (first to get 2 wins).
7. Teams will follow the lane schedule for lane assignments each game.
8. If there is a tie at the completion of the baker round for the final advancing spot, then the teams that are tied will
bowl 1 baker game to decide who advances on. If any of the advancing teams are tied after the baker round, the
team with the highest baker round total will receive the higher seed. If there is a tie after the three games in the
match play, a fourth game will be bowled to determine the team that advances on or wins.
9. Power points will be awarded after the completion of the 6 conventional and 16 baker games.
10. Entries are limited to the first 46 varsity men’s teams and 46 varsity women’s teams who enter. For JV entries,
we will accept the first 22 JV-1 men’s entries per school. A waiting list will be developed for JV-2 men’s teams
and all women’s JV teams based on date of request and will be entered beginning Monday September
26th, 2022. All JV women’s teams will be placed on a waiting list and will be entered based on date of request
with all JV-1 team’s receiving priority. Once all JV-1 teams have been entered, then JV-2 teams will be entered
based on availability. A varsity team must be declared prior to the start of competition, and only that team will
receive power points and advance to the varsity bracket for match play.
