From Tournament Director Cori Roelofs: Well I talked to Rockford Lanes tonight, and with the few amount of entries we have decided to cancel this event. We will try to run something for the bowlers at a later date. Sorry for the few that committed, but just wouldn’t be right to take up a whole center without the commitment of more bowlers. Thanks again for everyone showed interest.

After the round robin match play there will be one final position round game, where 1vs2,3vs4, 5vs6, with the total pins from all 11 games, and bonus pins, determining the winner.
