1. This tournament is certified by and open to all USBC members.
2. The tournament is handicapped 80% from 230. Bowlers will use their highest COMPOSITE average published on www.Bowl.com from the last two seasons (2022-2023 OR 2023-24). If the bowler does not have either year’s average, a current season’s 21-game certified average can be used. Bowlers that cannot provide any of these averages must bowl scratch.
2a. If current season’s average for at least 30 games at the time of bowling exceeds the above average by 15 or more pins, the current season’s average will be used. The Tournament Manager reserves the right to rerate any bowler’s average at his/her sole discretion.
2b. Reporting of previous tournament prize winnings will not apply (Rule 319d). The average adjustment rule will not apply (Rule 319e).
2c. Failure to report a correct average can result in disqualification and/or lower prize winnings. (Rule 319a, Item 3).

Bowlers will bowl three games across 6 lanes in qualifying. The top 24 handicapped qualifying scores will advance to match play (if less than 81 entries, 16 will advance). Match play will consist of one-game handicapped elimination matches. The first-round pairings will be determined by random draw. The winners of each round will advance to the
next round of matches until there is one player left undefeated.
In the case of a tie for the last match play spot(s) after the three-game qualifying round, or a tie during one of the match play rounds other than the championship round, a ninth and tenth frame roll-off will be held with each bowler receiving 1/5 of their individual game handicap added to their pin fall to determine the winner. A one game roll-off with handicap will break a tie in the championship match.
3. Entry fees are $45.00. Lineage $9.00, prize fees $31.00, Championship Fund $5.00. All prize fees will be returned 100%.
All Champions during the season will receive a bye into the match play of the
Grand Finale Invitational. These Champions must bowl the qualifying round to receive their bye. Only those bowlers who have competed in at least 3 of the current season’s Shootouts will be eligible to enter the Grand Finale Invitational (includes seeded Champions).
4. The prize ratio shall be no less than 1 out of 4 entries. Estimated prize list (based on 64 entries):
1st $500.00, 2nd $300.00, 3rd-4th $225.00, 5th-8th $150.00 9th-16th $80.00.
