There are two divisions: a division for an adult bowler teamed with a youth bowler age 14-19 and a separate division for an adult bowler teamed with a youth bowler age 13 and under. The youth bowler’s age on August 1, 2014 will be the determiner of division enrollment. The gender of either the adult or the youth bowler is NOT a consideration. A male may bowl with a male or female, or vice versa. Maximum number of teams: 155 total. Format: Qualifying Round: Each team will bowl a Qualifying Round of four (4) games of regular tenpin bowling. 32 teams in the 14 & older division and 12 teams in the 13 & under division, based on total team Qualifying Round scores, will advance to the Championship Round. Championship Round: The scores from the Qualifying Round will be dropped. All Championship Round games will be Baker games in which the youth bowler will bowl the evennumbered frames and the adult bowler the odd-numbered frames. Each team will bowl two (2) “Baker” games with each game bowled entirely on 1 lane, switching lanes on the pair after each game. The field will be cut after each 2 Baker game set based on the team’s 2-game Baker total. There will be four (4), 2-game Baker sets in the 14 & older division and three (3), 2-game Baker sets in the 13 & under division. The number of teams that will advance after each Baker game set will be posted in the tournament office. Championship Round Placement: In both divisions, higher placement in the final tournament standings will be based on the scores rolled in final two (2) game Baker set in which a team participated. Ties: all ties for any advancement will be broken by a 9th/10th frame roll-off in which the adult bowler will bowl the 9th frame and the youth bowler the 10th frame.
