I was writing down my rules for the match play portion of the tournament this weekend and I wanted some feed back on what I have.

1. Match play will consist of the best of 5 games
2. Lanes will be oiled 1 through 24 (24 lanes in the house)
3. In case of a tie in any game, the winner will be determined by a one ball roll-off in which the higher seed will pick the bowling order and lane.
4. We will start with lanes 1 through 16 for the 1st round of 16. Lanes will be drawn by the tournament director. The round of 8 will be bowled on lanes 17 through 24, once again lanes will be drawn by the tournament director. The final 4 will take place on re-oiled lanes 3 - 6. The finals will take place on lanes 5 & 6 but will not be re-oiled for the final match.
5. There will be 10 mintues of practice for each round, with the exception of the title match there will be 5 minutes.

Please any suggestions would be great since I kind of went solo the first 2 years I ran this tournament......

Pinbuster, read rule 3 again, I have the higher seed stated in that rule.
And most people know you stagger 2 frames at the time. As far as lane courtesy it is the same as in the tournament just one lane courtesy.
But I will put that in there, thanks for the information....
