Bowlers must have a verified league average from the past 12 months (any type of league is acceptable).
Averages may be verified upon request. The tournament staff reserves the right to re-rate or disqualify bowlers whose averages cannot be verified or appear inconsistent.

9-Pin No-Tap: Any first ball knocking down 9 or more pins counts as a strike.

Handicap pins are added to the bowler’s scratch score across all three games.
