Bowlers must be 21 years of age or younger as of January 1st of the current year to be eligible to bowl in our tournaments. No PBA card holders, National or Regional Tours, will be allowed to participate.This tournament will be conducted on an average basis of two (2) divisions, REGARDLESS OF AGE. Individual average breakdowns are as follows: Division 1 will consist of Sport Averages of 172 and under or Non-Sport Averages of 199 and under. All bowlers in Division 1 will receive handicap; Division 2 will consist of Sport Averages of 173 and over or Non-Sport Averages of 200 and over. All bowlers in Division 2 will be in the Scratch division. Bowlers may opt to move up in the Scratch division if they request it. This decision needs to be provided to the Tournament director prior to the 1st ball being thrown. Once the 1st ball has been thrown, division declaration is locked, and bowlers may not change. If there is an obvious error in declaration, the Tournament Director may/will update the divisions appropriately. Tournament Director reserves the right to modify the Average Divisions based upon number of entries received.
