Schedule:

Competition Details

• The scratch-scoring format will be used for all competitions. (See Bowling rules for explanation)
• All divisions will be on their own individual lane. With that being said, WE WILL NOT BE CONDUCTING CROSS-LANE BOWLING. This means athletes will be bowling on one lane for the duration of their competition. This will provide us with a more efficient awarding system after each division (lane) is complete.
• We will enforce a strict 40% Maximum Effort Rule at State Bowling. This means that if an athlete outscores their submitted qualifying score by 40%, they will be disqualified. Please see Article 1 for more details.

 
Schedule Details

• The schedules below were designed to make this tournament run as smooth and efficient as possible. We ask that you try and accommodate the schedule if at all possible. We realize not every area will be able to follow the arrival times due to travel and “Supervised By” restraints, however we ask that you try where at all possible.
• Group A will consist of All Female Bowlers and All Ramp Bowlers (Male & Female).
• Group B will consist of All Male Bowlers (Except Male Ramp Bowlers)
• Any early arrivals from Group B, will be given the opportunity to obtain registration credentials early and go through Healthy Athletes.

 
Healthy Athletes

• Health Promotion and Strong Minds will be offered at Healthy Athletes during this event.
• Athletes who attend both disciplines will receive a ticket in the grand prize drawing at the conclusion of HA at 2:00 PM.
• Please do your best to have your athletes come to the HA screenings. The scheduling has been designed to allow for every attending athlete to be able to go through HA.

 
Putt-Putt Competition

• Weather permitting, the mini-golf course at All Star Lanes will be open and available exclusively for use by SOLA bowling delegates at a discounted rate of $4 per game.  When athletes aren’t bowling or attending Healthy Athletes, encourage them to participate for an opportunity to have some fun and win some cool prizes!  All are welcome to play, but prizes will only be for athletes.
• It is important for coaches to keep track of the time for participating athletes. Bowling Rule book consequences will apply for bowlers who are “tardy” or “no shows”.
