2024 SPRUMMER SWEEPER SERIES -- METRO DETROIT SEMICIRCLE MICHIGAN
This is event #1 for the Metro Detroit Semicircle region of the 2024 Sprummer Sweeper Series.  Each bowler's top 5 events will count toward their individual points in this region, and the top 2 in points will automatically cash in this region's rolloff.  The top 1 in this region after the rolloff will also automatically cash in the 2024 Sprummer Sweeper Championship in September.  

MEMBERSHIP
There is a $10 membership once again for the 2024 Sprummer Sweeper Series, and it can be payable in any of the regions. $5 can be paid in the first event bowled and the other $5 can be paid at event #2 bowled.  If you pay the $10 at or before the the kickoff event in this region, you will also receive $10 worth of raffle tickets, as we will be raffling off a bowling ball and perhaps other prizes as well.  The $10 membership only needs to be paid one time per Sprummer season and qualifies you for points in each region if you decide to bowl in other regions as well.
