The tournament shall consist of a 4-woman Team event and a 5-woman Team event, a Doubles event, a Singles event (a bowler must

optional entries must accompany the entry form and are non-refundable. An entrant may pay in advance the handicap All Events and

Multiple participation will be allowed in the Team event only. At least two (2) members of a 4-woman team, and (three) 3 members of a
5-woman team of the Team’s lineup must be different on each entry. The first Team score will be the score used for All Events,

Late entries may be accepted subject to lane availability and at the discretion of the Tournament Director.
No entry fees will be refunded after fifteen (15) days from the closing date or fifteen (15) days from the date of confirmation.

unless Iowa State USBC WBA specified:
(a)
Entrants must use their highest average of not less than twenty-one (21) games in any league (including summer) at the end

If a bowler does not have an established average of twenty-one (21) games or more from the previous season, she shall use
her highest average of twenty-one (21) games or more as of January 1 of the current season.
