Skill Level

The League Division is open to bowlers with a handicap, which is an average score established by play in regular league or tournament. “League” competitors are defined as those players who have a recorded handicap from league and/or competition play. Such leagues or tournaments shall not necessarily be sanctioned but shall have kept verifiable records of all bowlers who participate, including their scores and number of games played. A bowler must have two years of averages, with a minimum of 21 games per year.

Players without a handicap do not qualify for the League Division. These players participate in the Social Division.

Participation

Team events consist of four-person teams, and Doubles events consist of two-person teams.

For Team, Doubles and Singles events, there are three rounds of competition. Preliminary rounds of competition for Team, Doubles and Singles have three games per round.

Participants registered for the Social Division may not enter the League Division in any Bowling event and vice versa.

Bowling events are a standard ten-pin format only. Each player on the top three teams in each event’s division receives a medal.  

Rules

The Bowling tournament shall be governed and conducted under the rules of the sanctioning body, United States Bowling Congress (USBC). Changes in any rules will be posted to this website within one (1) month before the scheduled competition.
