(*The top 50 bowlers from Squad A and the top 50 bowlers from Squad B are determined by highest pin total)
In the event a senior, a youth, or a female bowler do not naturally qualify from round 1 (from either squad A or B) to round 2, the highest finishing senior, youth and/or female bowler will be advanced to round 2 as a part of the top 100 bowlers. If a senior, a youth and/or a female bowler naturally qualify from round 1 (from either squad A or B), then this rule does not apply.
After the completion of Squad B we will be offering a Re-Entry squad. The Re-Entry Squad will be open to all bowlers who have already participated in Squads A or B. Bowlers will have to participate in either Squad A or B to be eligible for the Re-Entry Squad. Bowlers participating in the Re-Entry Squad will bowl 3 games, moving a pair to the right after each game. Bowlers will receive 2 balls of practice on each lane. The top 8 bowlers with the highest 3 game pin total after the completion of the Re-Entry Squad will re-enter the event for Round 2. These scores are NOT carried over. The cost for the Re-Entry Squad is an additional $100.
The Top 50 bowlers from Squad A & B plus the top 8 Re-Entry Squad bowlers (108 total bowlers) will return Saturday night (Round 2) and bowl a second round of 6 games across 12 lanes moving 4 pairs to the right. The Top 40 bowlers qualify for the Sunday Morning Cashers Round. Round 2 scores are carried over to Sunday morning. (*The top 40 bowlers advancing from Round 2 will be determined by highest pin total)
The carried over scores from Round 2 will be combined with the 6 games bowled Sunday morning, total pin fall will determine final placement and the top 8 advancing to the bracket final. The Top 40 bowlers will bowl 6 games Sunday morning at 9 A.M. Lanes will be randomly assigned.
Top 8 bowlers will be seeded according to their 12 game totals. In Match Play the top seed will bowl 8th seed, 2nd seed bowls 7th seed, etc. in a best 2 games out of 3 determining who advances to the next round (first bowler to win 2 games).
In the event a bowler cannot advance to the next round due to injury or disqualification the Tournament Director will replace that bowler with the next highest qualifier. The alternate will carry his own score into the next round when necessary.
In case of ties: A) In case of a tie for any advancing positions or alternates positions, a one-game roll-off will be held to determine qualifiers. B) In case of a tie concerning the seeding for the finals, the highest individual game during the 12 game qualifying rounds will determine the placement of bowlers. In case there is still a tie, we will go to the 2nd highest game, etc. until we can determine the bowlers seeding. C) In case of a tie during Match Play, additional 9th and 10th frames will be used to determine the winner for that game. D) In the event of ties for money prizes excluding the top 8, the monies will be added together and divided evenly.
