FORMAT
Qualifying: 5-games across 5 pairs of lanes.
Sunday Casher's Round: Warm-ups will start at Noon (assuming the lanes are oiled and ready for us by then). The cut to Sunday will be an overall cut after combining scores from each qualifying squad Top 4 from each squad will automatically advance to the Cashers rounds. Cashers bowl 5 games Sunday and then cut to match play rounds. Remaining bowlers will compete in a seeded, single-elimination bracket, 2-game total pinfall in each round. Once we know how many cashers we will have for the event, we will announce what number we will cut to for match play
Prize Ratio: 1 in 4 entries will cash in this event
RE-ENTRY RULES
With the top 4 from Friday and Saturday squads automatically qualifying to Sunday's Cashers Rounds, we will start at the highest non-auto-qualifiers (is two dashes legal like that?) and work down the list, however, first time entries get first dibs. Then we will allow those who already qualified to bowl again if they wish to do so for side action.
BALL RAFFLES
Various people will be running ball raffles for us prior to the event to help raise more money. The goal is to pay the following with the extra money raised...
Highest non-cashing lady -- $100
Highest non-cashing senior -- $100
Highest qualifier from A Squad -- $100
Highest qualifier from B Squad -- $100
