Post by: Spider Ball Bowler on November 04, 2006, 11:46:11 AM: totally curious here. How can something non sanctioned use sanctioned rules, and why do you have to use your sanctioned average if this is a non sanctioned event?

Post by: Blackhawk on November 05, 2006, 04:34:08 AM: The reason that this tournament is non-sanctioned is because of the amount of work that is involved in making a sport bowling tournament sanctioned. The lanes would have to be dressed, tapes pulled and read and then put into the formula and verified and then fax to USBC before the tournament began. The other thing is we would have to use Sport Bowling averages or use adjusted averages. This would have to be verified before a payout. This just seemed easier to be able to accomplish by using regular averages and USBC rules.

My mistake with the flyer. The bowling fee for the 50 people total is $695.50 leaving $1304.50 left for a payout. What the flyer should read is
$400.00
$200.00
$90.00
$90.00
$75.00
$75.00
$75.00
$75.00
$65.00
$60.00
$50.00
$45.00
for the 12 places that this tournament would pay.

You can see some of the past tournaments that we have ran with their payouts listed as well to see that really it is being done right. Those are located at
http://www.blackhawklanes.com/tournaments/tournament_results.asp

Thanks for bringing the flyer to my attention, I will make sure that is changed for future versions of this tournament that we run.

I encourage you to come try the tournament out, it is a fair, but challenging shot.

Post by: Rc Charger on November 08, 2006, 05:58:41 PM: I made the phone call today to reserve a spot is there anyway I can get the $40 entry fee for sunday? I won't be able to make deadline because of snail mail. Is the house wood or sythetics and how many paople are already signed up?
Title: Re: Sport Shot Eliminitor
Post by: Blackhawk on November 08, 2006, 07:04:05 PM: E-mail me your personal information; name, address, phone, E-mail and last year's highest average. Please bring your sanction card with you for average verification. Email that info to http://TJ@BlackhawkLanes.comand I will give you the $40 entry fee upon arrival.

The house has synthetic lanes and there are only about 5 entries so far, but this is not unusual, because everyone seems to wait until the deadline or pay the extra upon arrival. I wish there was a way to get everyone to sign up early, but it just doesn't happen.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Post by: 102101 on November 09, 2006, 04:21:13 PM: That does seem to be the case and I'm one of those that seem
to procrastinate when it comes to signing up. Jeez you would
think that a guy that bowls on your team would be a little
quicker to sign up but you can count me in. Now I might
just have to call and have you drill up that Double Agent
for Sunday morning. Seriously though guys this is a great
tournament run by super nice guy at a very nice house give it
a try you won't be disappointed.

Post by: Rc Charger on November 13, 2006, 05:43:47 PM: I just wanted to thanks to you Blawkhawk and you 102101. You have a great house out there in Sterling and made me feel very comfortable when I showed up for the tourney especially when I needed to use the pro shop to open some holes up. I wish the rockford area houses would run such a tournament. I do plan on returning hopefully with a few more guys or gals to bowl. Thanks again hopefully I'll give a better showing next time.
