IMPORTANT Tournament Notes: 1. Tournament is back to stay at it s home of the first weekend of May. We will continue to be in the first week of May to allow for spacing from JANBA and better driving conditions for our Out-Of-Town bowlers. 2. The Senior s Singles Event was a huge success last year running at the same time as Women s Team Event to help fill the house during the 4:00pm time slot this gave the ENTIRE Fountain Lanes to the tournament and improving the raffle participation. 3. All entries MUST be filled out completely - ESPECIALLY NAMES, AVERAGES AND ASSOCIATIONS. Those entries that do not comply will be returned. 4. All out-of-town bowlers must make sure they have averages verified by their association secretary, not their league secretary and sent in with the entry. Local entries may also submit an average verification if they have one to help prevent a mistake by you. 5. All money must accompany the entry. Paid entries receive top priority, after that called or emailed entries can get in pending space available. Spots are not guaranteed unless payment is received. 6. Entries are on a first-come, first-served basis. Out-of-town bowlers will automatically be given preference as long as the paid entry is received by April 5th, 2009 no later. After that, there are no guarantees for out-of-town entries although most likely you will be ok to send in later. The overall entry deadline is April 12 th, 2009, but entries will be taken until squads are filled. Again, note some squads fill quickly so the earlier you get your entry in the better chance you will get your squad choices. 7. We are working on hotel deals in the area please check the website as often as possible for updates. 8. We have often had bowlers from Japan attend looking for partners for the mixed doubles squad, if anybody is looking for partners, please note it. Tournament is located at: Fountain Bowl 17110 S.
