The InsideBowling.com 9-Pin No-Tap 2015 Rules
1. Have Fun. Bowl 3 games of 9-pin no-tap. Knocking down 9 pins on the 1st ball is a strike.
2. Open to ALL male and female “adult” bowlers.
3. Handicap is based on 80% of 215 using the highest book average from the 2011-2012, 2012-2013, or 2013-2014 seasons with 18 or more games. If no average appears on bowl.com you will bowl scratch.
4. All reporting of bowler averages is the sole responsibility of the bowler. Failure to give the correct average or give us your USBC card number may result in an average re-rate or possible disqualification.
5. IN THE INTEREST OF FAIRNESS TO ALL BOWLERS, GAMES CAN EXCEED 300 WITH HANDICAP, BUT THE MAXIMUM SERIES IS 900 WITH HANDICAP.
6. Optional side pots will be available.
7. 300 Game Pot: $5.00 entry fee per squad bowled. Each 300 game bowled earns a share of the jackpot. The more 300s you bowl, the more shares you win. For example, if there is $1000.00 collected and 9 300 games bowled, each share will be worth $111.30. Just like the stock market. The entire $5.00 goes into the jackpot. We keep nothing.
8. THIS IS NOT A USBC CERTIFIED TOURNAMENT, BUT ALL USBC RULES APPLY.
9. Prize fund will be paid at a 1 in 6 ratio, which means at least 1 place will be paid for every 6 paid entries. Money allocated to prize fund will be returned 100%.
10. Entry fee for singles will be $30.00 with $17.00 for prize fund and $13.00 for bowling and expenses. Doubles entry fee will be $30 per bowler with $17 going to the prize fund and $13 for bowling and expenses. CROSSOVER DOUBLES will be allowed with the entry fee of $15 per bowler with $10 for prize fund and $5 for expenses.
11. All prize checks will be mailed within 30 days of last day or event. All decisions made by the tournament director are final. Tournament director has the right to deny any entry, re-rate any bowler and disqualify any bowler if necessary.
