FORMAT
Qualifying: 5-games across 5 pairs of lanes.
Sunday Casher's Round: Cut to top 45 (based on a field of 180 entries), and those bowlers come back on Sunday with pins starting fresh.  The top 2 bowlers from each squad are guaranteed to move on to Sunday's Casher's Round as part of the 45 total moving on to Sunday..  The cut to Sunday will be an overall cut after combining scores from each qualifying squad.  Cashers bowl 5 games Sunday morning at 10am and then cut to the top 24 (based on 180 qualifying entries.  With fewer than 120, the cut will be to the top 8; with 121-160 bowlers the cut will be to the top 12 with 4 BYES in round 1 of Match Play, and with more than 160 the cut will be top 24 with top 8 getting BYES).  Remaining bowlers will compete in a seeded, single-elimination bracket, 2-game total pinfall in each round.
Prize Ratio:  1 in 4 entries will cash in this event

FORMAT IS BASED ON 180 ENTRIES

RE-ENTRY RULES
With the top 2 from each squad automatically qualifying to Sunday, 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 Z squad -- $100
Highest qualifier from A Squad -- $100
Highest qualifier from B Squad -- $100
