CHALLENGE
The Metro Detroit USBC Association in conjunction with the Southeast Michigan Bowling Centers Association has embarked on a new fall promotion for USBC certified leagues.
The Pins Over Average Challenge will allow bowlers in USBC certified leagues in participating centers to compete in a near season long contest trying advance to the finals where the winner will receive $10,000. The runner-up will take home $5,000.
After a bowler has bowled at least 15 games in their USBC certified league they can pay a one-time $10 fee for their scores in that league to count toward the contest.
It will be the bowler’s responsibility to turn in their qualifying score each week to the center to be verified by the center. All qualifying scores will be based on series pins over the current average.
Each week the center will post the top pins over average series by league on a 1 in 8 ratio. The contest ends on Feb. 29, 2008.
At the end of the contest the league qualifiers will bowl in a three-game tournament at their center with the top 1 in 4 advancing to the regional roll-offs. All qualifiers to the in-center tournament will receive $20.
Advancers to the regional roll-offs will receive $50 where advancers will compete for the top prizes of $10,000; $5,000 and many other cash prizes.
Keep your eye out for this great opportunity simply by competing in your USBC certified league.
