B/W Summer Scratch Classic - $3,000 1st Place
« on: March 10, 2008, 12:28:34 AM »
I am pleased to announce that we are having a major scratch event this summer! The event will be called the B/W Summer Scratch Classic and will take place August 23rd & 24th at Brunswick Zone Perry Hall Lanes in Baltimore, MD and feature a GUARANTEED 1st place prize of $3,000!

Tournament format:

• Entry fee will be $140 ($120 prize fund, $20 lineage) CASH ONLY
• Cash ratio 1:5
• (2) 8 game qualifying squads (9am & 4:30pm). Re-oil after 9am squad. (Re-entries will be permitted on the 4:30pm squad if space is available) Pins carry over from qualifying
• Finalists will come back on Sunday (8/24) for 7 games of round robin match-play. 50 bonus pins for every match won. The 7th game will be a position round game. The bowler with the highest total pinfall with bonus pins will be the tournament champion.

Brackets, survival boards (aka eliminators), high game pots, high game of the day and a last game (8th game) pot. We will also give the top 2 bowlers on each squad a Columbia300 ball (courtesy of Columbia300) and pay high senior (50 and over) & high female out of the money prizes.

I will be working with the center on a pattern that will allow all styles to be in play. The pattern will be posted on our website (www.vmsbt.com) once it is determined.

We have to limit qualifying squads to 88 bowlers per squad due to Perry Hall’s large Rock & Bowl turnout after the 4:30pm squad is done. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO EMAIL OR CALL ME TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DON’T GET SHUT OUT OF THIS EVENT!

Hey all

Getting some reservations already and keep 'em coming.  I would just like to add that when you email to reserve a spot, please let me know which squad you would like to reserve (9am or 4:30pm).

Also, after much consideration I am changing rule #1 regarding PBA members. Members who will be exempt for the upcoming '08-'09 PBA season are INELIGIBLE.

See everyone at the Rhodman this weekend.

Update

We have 52 total reservations so far for this event. Even though the tournament is couple of months away, people are making sure they have a spot reserved and some have chosen to pay for their entries. I am also accepting payment at any of the upcoming VMSBT events as well.

Update

We are now above the 110 entry mark. Entries are starting to come in from the NJ/NY area. Local (all of my NCABA & GBBA) bowlers, don't get shut out. There are roughly about 60 or so spots left. I have to be firm on the 176 entry max due to the center needing their lanes for cosmic open play after the 4:30pm squad ends. BEING ON STANDBY WILL NOT BE FUN.

I will have the pattern posted on the website after this weekend.

We are now at the 120+ entry mark for the event. Still waiting on my local folks to "represent" the area. The 9am squad is just about full and the 4:30pm squad is 65% full. If you would like to reserve a spot, please visit: http://www.vmsbt.com/VMSBT_Form.html

As promised, I've posted the pattern for the tournament on the website. Please visit: http://www.vmsbt.com/Official_2008_BW_SSC_Pattern.pdf
