WHAT IS IT? 
It is a free SCRATCH tournament open to any bowler from any center. That is right, no entry fee!  Though it is strongly encouraged to get in a few brackets and pot games.

WHY IS PINES PLAZA DOING THIS?
There are a few reasons.
1st - They just purchased a new Kegel lane machine and want to give it a workout before the season.
2nd - They installed AMF 8290xl pinspotters in February have been dialing them in and want to give them a stress test before the season starts.
3rd - They want to give people the opportunity to see that Pines Plaza Lanes is not the dungeon that is was just a couple of years ago. 

THE FORMAT:
Scratch Tournament! Bowl three games across six lanes moving two pair to your right after each game.  The top 8 bowlers will then bowl head to head for the $500.00. Top 8 will be seeded by their qualifying scores. Seeded bowlers who are tied will determine their position by coin flip. In the event that there is a tie for 8th seed, all involved will bowl a best ball roll off until only one bowler is the 8th seed.

WHEN:
Sunday August 22nd starting at 11AM
