Eligibility: Tournament open to all adult current members of the Oregon State USBC. If an OSUSBC membership cannot be verified, a membership card must be purchased prior to participation. Professional Bowlers: Entrants who are identified as professionals or who have applied for membership in any professional bowling organization on or after August 1, 2014 and prior to the tournament shall be eligible to bowl but will be limited to no more than two such players on a 5-person team and no more than one player in a doubles event. Multiple Participation: Multiple participation is permitted in the team event. No more than three bowlers may be the same on multiple teams. Multiple participation is permitted in the doubles event on a space-available, walk-in basis. Must change partners for multiple participation in doubles. Multiple participation in singles event is not permitted. Entries: Entries will be processed on a first come, first served basis. Every effort will be made to accommodate your first choice of dates and squad times. Out of consideration for out of town bowlers who have longer travel time to and from the event, we appreciate teams with local bowlers choosing the 10am team squads and the 4:30pm doubles/singles squads. All entries close on June 7, 2015. Entry Fees: Entry fees are $36 per person, per event for all participants in Division 1; $26 per person, per event for all participants in Divisions 2-5. See the front of this form for the entry fee breakdown. The optional entry fee of $10 for All-Events goes entirely to the prize fund. Refunds: Refunds will not be issued after the entry has been processed unless a calculation error has been made. Refunds based on bowler substitutions or changes will not be honored. NOTE: Premature termination of the tournament brought about by war, national emergency or emergency causes relating thereto or from fires, strikes, lockouts, or labor difficulties shall cause the posted prize schedule to be prorated in accordance with the number of entrants who have bowled in each of the respective events up to the time of termination. Prize Fund: All prize fees will be returned 100% and payouts for each event will be based on the following ratios of payouts to number of entries: Team-at least 1 in 5; Doubles- at least 1 in 6; Singles- at least 1 in 8; All-Events- at least 1 in 10. Due to IRS requirements, 1099 (miscellaneous income) forms must be issued to all participants who accumulate winnings of $600 or more. Prize checks for those individuals will be held until a signed and completed W-9 form is received in our office. All Events: To be eligible for the separate All-Events prize fund, bowlers must be entered in team, doubles, and singles events and pay the optional $10 All-Events entry fee prior to bowling their first event. In the case of multiple participation, the first team event bowled, and the first doubles event bowled will be used in calculating the bowler’s all events total score. The bowler’s All-Events division will be based on their division in the singles event. The OSUSBC will provide a paid entry to the USBC Masters for the bowler with the highest All-Events score regardless of division. The bowler must have paid and be entered in the optional All-Events competition. Average Requirements: Entrants shall use their highest USBC certified league average as a regular or substitute bowler, in the following order: a. 2013-2014 Highest USBC league average (21 games or more). This includes summer averages. If none; b. Highest 2012-13 USBC league average (21 games or more) including summer averages. If none; c. Highest 21+ game average as of the date of entry. If none; d. Enter with a 205 average unless the bowler is identified as a professional bowler. Professional bowlers with none of the above will enter at 230. Note: Bowlers with a USBC Sport League average ONLY will have that average adjusted according to the USBC Playing Rules. The Team Captain is responsible for the correctness and authenticity of averages of the individual team members, while the bowlers are responsible to their Captain. If the Tournament Director determines, at any time, that an average has been falsified, the team shall forfeit all claims to prize money as well as their entry fees. Reclassification: Rules 319a-f apply to this tournament, with the exception of rule 319a, item 2 (no 10-pin rerating based on current average). The Tournament Director has the authority to reclassify any entrant, provided the reclassification is done before the entry is accepted. It is the responsibility of the bowler to notify their team captain if their average may be subject to reclassification. Participants may enter a higher division by inserting the desired division on the entry form and notifying the Tournament Director of their wishes in writing at the time of entry. Classifications: Division 1 Division 2 Division 3 Division 4 Division 5 Team 1025 + 950-1024 875-949 800-874 799 or less Doubles 410 + 380-409 350-379 320-349 319 or less Singles 205 + 190-204 175-189 160-174 159 or less Substitutes: Only those originally entered or substitutes authorized by the Team Captain or their appointee may bowl the tournament. Team Captains must furnish and file the name, membership number, and average of any substitute prior to the scheduled start time. No changes will be made to the order of bowlers in the Team Event or Doubles Event after the original entry has been accepted by the Tournament Director. Substitutes shall not be required to reimburse the original entrant the entry fee that was paid or be expected to give the original entrant any prize money and/or awards the substitute may receive unless they so desire. If substitutions change the division of any entry, entrants must bowl in the newly established division with prize money being adjusted at the end of the tournament. Captain’s Responsibilities: Check in your team at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled start time. Be prepared to show proof of current OSUSBC membership for all members of your team, which may be required. Present any substitutions to the Tournament Director as soon as they are available, verify all bowlers’ averages prior to check-in, make sure all team members are in proper attire before your squad begins, and disburse all prize checks to those members of your team that cashed within 30 days of the end of the tournament. All prize checks will be sent to the team captain for disbursement. Dress Code: Participants must wear a shirt and slacks, casual slacks, trousers, jeans, or dress shorts. Traditional collared shirts and mock collared shirts are acceptable attire. T-shirts will not be permitted.
