I am pleased to announce that we are having a major scratch event this summer! The event will be called the BW 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!

I noticed a Ken Shaw on the list.  Is he the ampidextrious bowler who used to live in VA and moved to Wisconsin?

Hahn, did you see Ko's name on the roster? He's averaging 250+ in summer league on their super wall. The Broadway is going to favor folks who's style is similar to yours more so then a Ko.

The Broadway can step right in front of my bus and I'll gladly run it over and back up on it to make sure it's dead!!! LMAO

If there are open spots on the 4:30pm squad and some of you from the 9am squad want to re-enter, keep in mind you can only CASH ONCE and your highest score will be taken.

224 for the finals and 219 aren't "carry contest" numbers. IMHO, 235 avg is CARRY CONTEST.
