Some points to note:
General
Info: We have 28 participants, over 12 lanes. To
save time, the lanes have already been drawn for you, courtesy of
the Jackies Bowl manager. We have been allocated lanes 1 - 12. Good
luck to the corner lane people. If you wish to know your lane
assignments, please let me know. Otherwise you can surprise
yourself on the day itself.
Lane
Change: There will be just 1 lane change after 3
games. Players on odd numbered lanes will move 4 lanes to your left, and players on
even numbered lanes will move 4
lanes to your right. So if you're on lane 7, you move to
lane 3 after 3 games. If you're on lane 10, you move to lane 2
after 3 games.
Playoff
Format: The top 5 players will advance to a 3 round
stepladder. In the first round, 3rd 4th and 5th placed qualifiers
will have a 1 game shootout. The winner moves on to play the 2nd
placed qualifier. The winner of the 2nd match plays the 1st placed
qualifier to determine the tournament champion.
Handicap:
Ladies are given a 10 pin handicap per game. Please note, this
handicap will count towards the high game award.
Prizes: There
will be a total of 11 cash prizes, for the top 5 qualifiers as well
as for the 6th to 10th placed qualifiers, plus a high game award.
The prizes for the top 5 will be based on their performance in the
stepladders, whereas the rest will be based on the 5 qualifying
games. High game award includes games played in the stepladder.
Thanks to Deamon and his "goodie bags", I believe no one will have
to go home empty handed.
Tie: Should
there be a tie game in the stepladder, the player's performance
over the last 2 frames will be used to determine the winner. For
example, player A hit 9/ and XXX for his last 2 frames, and player
B hits X XXX for his last 2. Thus player B will "win" the tie
breaker due to a better last 2 frames. Should there still be a tie,
players will roll a 3 frame (8, 9 and 10) tiebreaker.
Dinner: It's
best to eat before you come. Or come early about 5:45pm or 6pm to
eat (and digest) at the alley. Food's quite good. We start at 7pm,
and will not finish anytime before 9:30pm, 10pm-ish. PLEASE try not
to order food and eat during the games, unless you are really on
the verge of fainting. It can be very distracting to your fellow
lane mates.
Having said all that, I hope I didn't leave out anything important.
Otherwise, see you all at Jackies Bowl on Saturday and let's go
have a helluva time. By the way, parking is free. And bring your
cameras.
Please post here or SMS me (96947062) should you be unclear about
anything, or have any comments. Jordan, Deamon and myself will do
our best to help.
It would be great and most helpful if the participants (from this
forum at least) reply to acknowledge that you understand the above
details.
