All 3 Events Are In The Plaza!$160 Entry Fee Per Person

For Team, Doubles & SinglesEach event pays a 1 in 6 ratio creating hundreds of prizes!

Team, Doubles & Singles events – each player bowls 3 games in each event. All 3 events are in the Plaza.

• TEAMS – must include at least 2 players with a military background and a maximum of 2 guests. There is an 840 4-person team average maximum.

• DOUBLES – each doubles team includes at least 1 player with a military background. No average cap.

Optional Individual All-Events – For an optional $20 entry fee, players add their Team, Doubles & Singles series for a 9-game total. Fee must be paid prior to bowling any of the 3 events. After 6/1 entry fee is $25.

Handicap Rules:

• Contestants not bowling a USBC league in the 2017/18 season must purchase a $5 Associate Membership prior to bowling.

• Handicaps are 90% of 230, 230 & higher bowls scratch. Players without an accepted average must bowl scratch. Actual league average counts towards the 840 team cap.

• Minimum entering average for maximum handicap is 140 for men and 130 for women. Players with lower averages will get the maximum handicap.

• Players use their handicap for each event. Example: teammates add their handicaps together for a team handicap.

• Each player uses 1/3 of their handicap, dropping fractions, for sidepots and brackets.

• Only 1 PBA member and only 1 High Roller champ per team. PBA, PWBA or LPBT National Champs are not eligible. NEW RULE NO PBA GUESTS – MILITARY PBA MEMBERS ONLY

• Accepted Averages – Players use their highest USBC winter average, of at least 21 games from 2016/17 or 2017/18 . Players may request to use a summer average if no winter average with minimum 21 games.

• Players without a league average in the past 2 seasons may request to use an average from 2014-15 or 2015-16 with a 10-pin penalty for each year.

• Youth averages cannot be used. USBC Rules 319C & 319D apply.

1st Time Players Present IDPlayers must present proof of age and military status. Picture ID drivers license or birth certificates will be required for age. The following will be accepted: (Other forms of ID may be requested for ID as well.) Active Duty Reserve ID Card; Honorable Discharge Certificate; VA Disability ID Card;or a DD-214. If you do not have proper ID, visit: www.archives.gov/st-louis/military-personnel/ standard-form-180.html or contact: National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records, 9700 Page Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63132-5100. Both agencies suggest that you allow plenty of time to obtain your records.

Rerating Onsite – Tournament bowlers know that handicap events can attract players that show ability above their entering league average.

The High Roller staff has been very diligent in “watching” the scoring of the event and, when necessary, re-assigning a higher average to those that demonstrate higher ability.

As a protection for the many participants, we will continue to monitor scores and even create a “watchdog committee”.

Gaining a purposeful advantage over our Military attendees who have served our country, by using a league average much lower than ability will not be tolerated.

USBC Rule 319 applies: Players must report or face disqualification.

17 players assigned higher averages in 2017!

PURCHASE A ROTO GRIP BALL AT THE TOURNAMENT FOR JUST $100and a portion of the proceeds goes into your prize fund – compliments of Roto Grip!
