U.P. Sport Tourney
« on: August 15, 2005, 08:08:26 AM »
We had a discussion going a couple of months ago about Upers (Upper Peninsula bowlers in Michigan) and Trolls (Lower Peninsula bowlers).  So I did it...I booked a sport tournament at Dondee Lanes in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan!!!

Saturday, Sep. 17, 2005 @ 1pm.  $60/members, $65/non-members
$1000 1st prize with 60 entries, limited to 72 entries, 1st come 1st serve.
Friday Night Sweeper @ 10pm, $35 entry, $400 1st prize with 48 entries.

Main event format is 5 games of qualifiying across 5 pairs of lanes, cut to the top 1 in 4 entries for seeded, single game elimination rounds.  Make the cut and cash.  We will have $5 brackets, $20 parallel pot (additional prize fund based on final standings), $15 regular jackpot, and ball raffle.  Parallel pot pays $300 1st prize with 40 entries.  With jackpots, sweeper, and brackets, one could win $2000+ on the weekend!

We've got Quality Inn and Suites giving us good deals on rooms for $59/night + tax.  Call and book soon because September in Sault Ste. Marie is quite busy for tourism.

I have had MAJOR trouble posting in this forum as of late, and haven't even been able to see this forum for some unknown reason, so I may not be able to reply to any inquiries.  Email me directly for more info sport@michiganbowling.com, but please keep this thread active by letting us know if you are interested in the event.  It would be nice to get 30+ upers and 30+ lower peninsula people for this one.

Thanks, and hopefully I'll be able to keep posting for at least the rest of the day, geesh.

Talked with Brian this evening at a meeting for the possiblity of a sport league in our area.  Nice guy, unfortunately he's been having major issues with this site.  Free bump.
