• Each squad will have 3 games of qualifying
  
  
• All bowlers will receive handicap of 90% of 220
  
  
• Your handicap will be determined by taking your highest average the past two years and subtracting ten pins
  
  
• One in 8 bowlers per squad will advance to the finals and guaranteed $120
  
  
• One in 4 bowlers per squad will cash for a minimum prize of $60
  
  
• The top series in each squad (including handicap) earns one bye in the finals and guaranteed a minimum of $200
  
  
• The top series each day with handicap (highest squad leader of the day) earns 2 byes and guaranteed a minimum of $300
  
  
• A bowler may enter as many squads as they like and cash on each entry. You may re-enter a squad, even after you have qualified, to try and earn byes and enter the side action.
  
  
• The finals will take place at the completion of the last qualifying squad and after the lanes are stripped and re-oiled. An elimination format (beat half-the field) will be used each round of the finals. Bowlers will receive one-third of their handicap in the finals.
  
  
• If there is an odd number of bowlers in any round of the finals the smaller number will advance and the larger number will be eliminated & cash
  
  
• The more rounds you advance the more money you will earn
  
  
• If there is a tie in the finals to advance a 9th/10th frame roll off will be used to break the tie (bowlers will receive 20% of their finals handicap in the roll off.)
  
  
• When 2 or 3 bowlers are left in a round one more game will be bowled to determine the top places.
