3. Each bowler must pay a $5 membership fee prior to participating in their first Solid Pin Productions event of the 2026-2027 season (August-April). These fees will go towards the bowling pin trophies given to the champions of each event, as well as software fees payable to The Bowler's Eye.

5. Check-in will begin at 9:00am. Practice will begin promptly at 10:00am, with tournament play starting at 10:10am. Lane assignments will be chosen at random.
6. Handicap will be based individually for this event: 80% of 220. Handicap will be 50% of your team handicap for baker matches. Handicap is based on your highest 2025-2026 league ending average with minimum 21 games. If no average from previous season, we will accept a current sanctioned average with a minimum of 15 games. If neither applies, bowler will bowl scratch (i.e. 220 average). Per USBC rule 319c, a bowler’s average may be adjusted upward prior to participation in any event.
7. All bowlers will bowl 5 games of qualifying across 10 lanes. All ties in the standings will be broken by the highest team game, with handicap, during qualifying. If a tie occurs for the last cut position, a 9th and 10th frame roll off will occur. The top 1:4 (rounded to 6, 8, or 12) will bowl in a staggered bracket, best-of-three baker matches, with byes for top qualifiers where appropriate. If after the 3 baker matches, teams are tied at 1.5 points, there will be a 9th and 10th frame roll off to determine the winner. Exact format subject to change based on total number of teams in the event.
8. Brackets, high-game and singles pots will be available. If there is enough interest, brackets, and side pots will have handicap and scratch divisions. A week prior to the event, a listing of side action offered will be posted. ALL BRACKET AND SIDE POT MONEY MUST BE PICKED UP PRIOR TO LEAVE THE TOURNAMENT.
