2. ONLY THE FIRST SCORES BOWLED IN DOUBLES AND SINGLES WILL COUNT TOWARDS ALL EVENTS. Team scores will not count towards all events scores.
3. Handicap will be 90% of the difference between the bowler's entering average and 230 for singles,
460 for doubles, and 920 for team events.
4. The singles, doubles, and all events tournament will have six classes of bowlers: SUPER SENIOR IS AGE 75 +, CLASS A IS AGE 70-74, CLASS B IS AGE 65-69,CLASS C IS AGE 60-64, CLASS D IS AGE 55-59, AND NEWLY ADDED IS CLASS E IS AGE50-54. The class for doubles will be determined by the youngest bowler's age on the 1st day of the tournament. There will be only one class for the team event.
5. Entrants may compete multiple times in the team, doubles, and singles events; however, in order to cash, half of the team must be different bowlers. Teams can be any combination of men and women. Bowlers may cash multiple times with different partners. Bowlers can only cash once in singles.
6. Entrants will use their highest USBC sanctioned average as printed in the 2013-2014 association yearbook. If an entrant does not have an average from the previous season, the entrant can use their highest current season USBC league average based on 21 or more games at the time of bowling. If an entrant has no previous or current average then a scratch 230 will be used. USBC Rule 319a/2 regarding 10 pin increase in average is waived for this tournament.
7. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH BOWLER TO VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THEIR AVERAGE AND THEIR BIRTH DATE. Failure to report correct average and birth date, either higher or lower, shall disqualify the bowler, unless a correction is made BEFORE the end of the first game of the first series bowled.
