QUALIFYING SQUADS
Squad A -- 10:30am
Check-In -- 9:30am - 10:29am

FORMAT A
Qualifying: 5-games across 5 pairs of lanes.
Eliminator: Cut to top 30 (based on 100 entries), then bowlers compete in a 2-game eliminator round cutting the field in half.  Each eliminator round following the first round will be 1-game rounds.  Pins drop after every round, although we will have 1 wild card in the first round.  Wild card will be the highest total pinfall score who wasn't in the top half for that round.  With 120 entries, the top 30 would make the cut.  Then 30 would cut to 15 + 1 wild card for 16 total.  16 would cut to 8.  8 cut to 4.  Top 4 will bowl a 3-game round robin final with pins starting fresh once again.  30-pin bonus per win.
Prize Ratio:  A minimum of 1 in 4 entries will cash in this event

FORMAT IS BASED ON A FIELD OF 120 BOWLERS, AND THE FIELD IS CAPPED AT 160 ENTRIES
