The top 1 in points will also automatically cash in the 2022 Sprummer Sweeper Championship in September.
MEMBERSHIP
There is a $10 membership once again for the 2022 Scratch 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. The $10 membership only needs to be paid one time per Scratch Series season and qualifies you for points in each region if you decide to bowl in other regions as well. This event will be part of the Northern MI region.

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.

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
