| Additional Prizes
|
A total of $1,000 in bonus money is up for grabs in each round robin match with
$100 on the line in each frame. In every frame, the bowlers on opposite teams
will compete against each other for the bonus money. The bowler with the most
successful frame will receive $100 for their team. Should the bowlers tie in a
given frame that money will carry over to the next frame. If a tie takes place
in the 10th frame, bonus money goes to the team that won the match. Endless
10th frames do not factor into the individual frame bonus money.

| Tournament Format |
The 18 bowlers will be divided into three teams with players being selected by
three “captains”. The three captains will draft the players during a ceremony on
Thursday, June 5, following the official practice session.
The three teams will compete in round robin, Baker style match play with a
total of 12 matches taking place. Each team will bowl four matches against the
other two teams, with each match taking place on a different oil pattern. The
only one of the five PBA oil patterns which will not be used during round robin
is the Cheetah pattern as that pattern will be used in the championship round.
With six players on a team, one bowler will sit out each game for the five-man Baker
style matches. Team captains will designate which five players will compete during the matches.
After the 12 matches are complete, the top two teams based on match play record will advance to
the championship round on Saturday, June 7. The championship round will consist of one singles match,
one doubles match and one Baker-style match, with the captains choosing the participants for each match.
The singles and doubles matches will each be worth one point while the Baker match will
be worth two points. Should the teams tie, one player from each team – who will be
determined prior to the start of the competition by the team captains – will participate
in a one-ball sudden death roll-off.

| Tournament Notes |
Round Robin Match play will feature a unique scoring system wherein any team striking on their
fill ball in the 10th frame will be allowed to continue until they can
no longer strike. Each additional strike after the fill ball will add
10 bonus pins to the team’s final score.
