Howdy,
JBT SW will be running the 35th annual Desert Open July 28-30. The big news is that we're going to run the EXACT current PBA National format- 14 games of qualifying, cut to top 32, then best 4-of-7 matchplay. Pretty sweet, I think.
Here's what I'd like feedback on: linage will be $30. Expenses and awards will be between $5 - $10 or less.
If we go on a $30 per entry prize fund ($70 total entry fee), teh prize fund (based on 60 entries, which is reasonable) would be:
$500
$300
$200
$200
$150
$150
$150
$150
If we use $50 prize fee ($90 entry fee), teh prizes could be:
$1000
$600
$300
$300
$200
$200
$200
$200
If we use $70 prize fund ($105 entry fee), the prizes could be:
$1000
$600
$400
$400
$200 for 5th-8th
$100 for 9th-16th
So..... what, as a junior bowler, would you prefer? More specifically, what would be most enticing for you to come to this tournament, prize wise. We think (hope) you'll jump at the chance to bowl the actual PBA format (on a PBA-type condition), even if it means another trip to the desert in the summer.
Serious replies appreciated.
Thanks,
