Information

As our tournament continues to grow, we would like to bring your attention to the following in order to help everything flow smoothly.

Please bowl with the same partner for your specific squad on all three days.

We encourage you to get your July 2024 Entries in as soon as possible to secure your Squad of choice. There will be a limit of 4 bowlers per lane for the main tournament, until all squads are full. Squads are first come first served. Remember to select your first choice, which we will try to accommodate, but also select a second choice. You will be notified by email or phone if your first choice is not available.

With the exception of Daily 300 pot winners, all prize money will be paid by check and mailed within 30 days following the close of the tournament.

Prize awards for Mon-Wed tournaments, as well as All Events, Blind Draw and Singles will now be paid by check and mailed.

As of January 2023, there will be no Super Senior Squad. This was a disadvantage to the 70 plus as they had to be a "seperate" tournament and were bowling against averages of anywhere from 84 to 210 bowlers. Main tournament places you in a Division within your average range.

On the first tournament day, first squad, please be ready to bowl by 8:00AM. This is 1/2 hour eariler than the schedule; however we would like for you to be there for the opening ceremony.

Averages are 2022-2023 USBC Standard Composite (we will search back as far as 3 years) OR proof of 21+ games non-sanctioned average. The tournaments are handicapped at 100% of 220.

THANK YOU for being a participant in our tournament - it would not be possible without you!

l After each event, a combined squad posting will be listed on the bulletin board as a "PRELIMINARY" overall standing. This listing is subject to change after verification of averages, etc. The FINAL OFFICIAL results will be posted on this web site after 30 days.

l The Tournament will be on a handicap basis, 100% of 220, in three divisions, using your USBC 2022-2023 Standard Composite OR proof of 21+ game non-sanctioned average. If you do not have a USBC #, your league sheet showing at least 21 games should be sent in with your entry. Division limits will be based on the number of entries, and by totaling your average and your partner’s average. Example: Your average is 160, your partner’s is 125 for a total of 285. If the division cut-off is 300, you will be in Division 3.

l Bowlers with no USBC or current 21+ game league average, or last tournament average, will be assigned an average – 150 for women and 190 for men. Sport shot averages will be increased by 17% per USBC.

l The Tournament Committee has the right to re-rate any bowler before or after the Tournament and before any payouts, and the right to refuse entry to any bowler.

l If you want to join friends or bowl as a group, submit the names with your entry; or call Lee Fitzgerald and she will block the lanes in advance for you. Lanes are pre-assigned before the tournament begins and cannot be changed in Las Vegas — enter early.

l Dress code: No tank tops or muscle shirts. Please be considerate of others.
