RPC 2024 Pinbowling!!!
Friday October 25th (early qualifying) / October 26th (same-day qualifying + tournament), 2024
Included with RPC Admission + tournament Open to the Public
This format uses a bank of 12 games. One for each "frame" with 2 additional games for the 10th frame.
Each frame can score a strike, spare, or 0-9 points depending on the number of balls used to reach the objective. This is essentially "pin golf" with a bowling theme.
Games can be played in any order you want, but your bowling score is by the order of the games on the card.
In the event of a game issue that requires it to be removed from the tournament. There will also be a selection of games from each era, that will be used to replace the malfunctioning game from that point forward.
Qualifying will be held on Friday October 25th, and Saturday October 26th, and finals later in the day in the 26th.
Players will receive one card for each admission to the RPC, additional cards can be purchased separately (to a maximum of 3).
There will be A and B finals - A will be top 12 or 50% of the field best of 5 head-head matches, B are the next 6 players - ladder finals. There will be first round byes as needed in A.
