Is your team the best this year?

If you are your 2008-09 league champion, enter our Tournament of Champions

Did you win your Metro Phoenix certified league?  If so, your team is qualified to enter the Metro Phoenix USBC Inaugural Tournament of Champions. The tournament will be July 12th at Brunswick Via Linda.

Adult league champions will be comprised of 5 bowlers, youth champions will be 4 bowlers.  If your league playing strength is less then five, the champion team can pick up the needed bowler(s) from anyone in the league that has bowled a minimum of 2/3 the league season.  For youth teams, the additional bowlers can come from 1) the league, 2) the center, or 3) any youth bowler with a minimum of 15 games.

The competition will be 6 games using the Baker format.  In that format, team members simply alternate frames. The standings will be determined by total pins for the 6 games plus handicap. Handicap will be 90% of 200, using the overall average of the five bowlers from the league that they qualified.

Entry fee will be $100 per team for the adults and $60 per team for the youth.
