Balance Holes
Beginning August 1, 2020, the use of a balance hole is prohibited. The rule states all holes in a bowling ball must be used on every delivery; any hole not used is considered a balance hole, making the ball illegal. Bowlers who do not use their thumb no longer can have a thumb hole, as it now is considered a balance hole. They also need to mark their ball to show where they place their palm on delivery.

W-9 Forms
IRS is requiring that we get new W-9 forms for all bowlers who earn winnings in PBA events. Players that have filled out W-9’s in 2020 and have recently changed residence will need to fill out an updated form. This requirement pertains to all participants, whether you are a member or not.

Qualifying Round

ALL PARTICIPANTS will bowl 6 games of qualifying on the 2021 USBC Masters pattern, moving lanes to a predetermined schedule after each game. The tournament field is limited to a total of 112 bowlers, no more than 7 per pair. Bowlers will be seeded in a single-elimination bracket based on their 6-game scratch score from qualifying.

The number of entries will determine how many bowlers will advance to the bracket. 1 in 4 bowlers, or major fraction thereof, after 6 games of qualifying will advance to single-elimination bracket play. i.e. based on 90 bowlers, 23 will advance to bracket play and byes will be awarded, as necessary. If there is a tie for the last qualifying position, there will be a 9th and 10th frame roll off to determine who advances to the single-elimination bracket play. All other ties will be determined by highest game in qualifying.

Single-Elimination Bracket Play

Single-elimination bracket play will consist of best 2 out of 3 game matches. The winner will move on, and the loser will be eliminated. Should there be a tie, there will be a one ball roll off until we have a winner. The final bowler at the end of all rounds will take home the title.
