4. Bowlers will enter with their most recent verifiable standard composite average, if the bowler has no composite average, we will use the highest of their 2025-2026 verifiable average of 18+ games or more. If the bowler only carries a sport/challenge average, we will adjust the average to a house average. If no averages in 2025-2026, we will use a current average with at least twelve games from the current 2026-2027 season for ALL bowlers. If bowler has no averages whatsoever, the bowler’s average will be set at 230. For those participating in 379 and under division; Handicap will be 85% of 230.
5. All bowlers may be rerated or adjusted at the discretion of the tournament directors. If you have been rerated in the last 12 months, please provide the average that you had to use.
6. This tournament will have two divisions: Division 1 – 380 and above, scratch division; Division 2 – 379 and below, handicap division.

8. All bowlers will bowl 4 games of qualifying, moving lanes after each game (the amount of pairs skipped will be displayed for participants when they arrive.) Top teams in each division will enter a BAKER style bracketed final round. Number of qualifying teams is based on teams in each division, up to a maximum of (8) per division. Typically (1) spot per (5) teams (i.e. 22 teams in 380+ division equals 4 finals participants.) *NOTE: this is determined formally closer to tournament and solely up to the discretion of the tournament directors. Other prizes WILL be awarded outside of the qualifying and playoffs. All Finals brackets, place, and payouts will be displayed for all bowlers when they arrive.
