In an average squad, what's the maximum one could spend in brackets and sidepots?
-
Can anyone answer the question: Are the complete bracket results still posted, or are the only available "results" on a TV monitor that shows only the bowlers' name(s) and amount(s) won?
-
From what I saw it shows what each bowler wins in each bracket they entered on a tv screen after each squad.

Dear shipper50:
Does that mean a bowler entered in brackets doesn't even know who he/she was bowling against in each round, even after the squad ends? Aren't the actual individual bracket results posted somewhere?

From what I have seen in the 4 nationals I have bowled in, the results are posted under alphabetical order by name and it shows what bracket you entered and only if you won in each bracket and how much on a tv monitor.
It doesn''t show anyone''s name other than the bowler who entered.
Hope this helps..

If you get in everything its about that price that B stated. It actually is a little higher with the other side pots they have going on. Results as ship stated are posted on the big screens prior to getting to the registration desk. It shows the bowler and how much they won. Otherwise if you didn't win anything you don't show up. I dont remeber in years past if they kept a book on who you bowled against. I seem to recall that there was a book over by the embrodiary booth that had this information AFTER the sqaud was done.
-
If you go up to registration, there should be a book for both Team and Doubles/Singles that has all results from that past week.

There is a book at the registration desk that has a printed version of all brackets

Dear justdale:
Is there such a printed version for the entire tournament (or just for the past week or so)?
-
not sure about the whole tournament, but I do know the book is pretty thick, if your there ask them at the registration desk

Fisher, you can view brackets while you are there.
You can also pay for a copy of any of the Tournament
Brackets.

There is a computer available by the check in desk that will show you the complete bracket along with the printed book as others have mentioned. Not sure if they are available to view while you bowl or after you are done.
-
There is a book not really sure how far back it goes.
The book only goes back about a week at least the one on the counter.
They probably keep all of the result somewhere.
You gotta remember that the squads are smaller on the off days.
So you might be getting a refund if you hit the max button.
Now here is the funny thing.
If you get a refund this will be counted as "winnings" if you get the refund after bowling.
One of my bowlers had this happen to him this year.

Another thing to keep in mind, is if you win over I think its $600 they will send you a w2? form and you will have to claim it on your taxes. Even if its your own money you get back in a refund on brackets.

Shipper is correct.
So before you totally fill out your bracket sheet ask the person behind the counter just how many brackets they think there will be.
then enter accordingly.

To be exact, they send you a 1099 form and you must report this on your taxes as income...

But you get to deduct your entry fee from it so it really doesn't matter if you get refunds. That is taken care of with the entry fee deduction.
Keep your bracket entry receipt.

From what has happened to me in the past if you dont itemize on your taxes you cannot take deductions from brackets or entry fees. It cost me about $300 in taxes in 2006 after I made around $750 at Baton Rouge and since I didn't have a house payment or itemize then, I lost out.
I did get to take my winnings in brackets and entry from 07 with me having been able to itemize.
Maybe one of the tax guys on here can comment.

I have used the Schedule C to write it up as a business. As long as you don't claim a loss you should be ok.

How much are brackets? also if you take first place each bracket how much is that?
-
I'm not sure how big brackets are there but normal brackets. 10 dollar brackets pay 50 for first and 5 dollar brackets pay 25 for first
