(a) The top 24 men’s teams and top 16 women’s teams from club bowling programs, based on the final collegebowling.bowl.com Power Ranking, will be invited first. If an invited team declines the invitation to participate, the next team down in the rankings will be given the invitation
(b) Club bowling programs are defined as those bowling programs who are:
1) non-affiliated with the NCAA, NAIA, or NJCAA, and
2) have no athletes who receive financial incentives (a scholarship, grant or discount) that was used to recruit or entice them to attend an institution to participate in the bowling program. - This tournament will be contested on an official USBC Sport Bowling Pattern.
- Rosters may include up to 8 players, with two divisions: Men/Mixed and Women. There may be up to 2 coaches per team.
- Teams may substitute up to 3 times in one game, however, once a player comes out, he/she may not return during that game. And only one substitution per 10th frame.
- Teams will follow the lane schedule for lane assignments each game and bracket match.
- In case of a tie in qualifying, the team with the highest final baker set will be the higher seed. If a tie still exists, the team that won the baker set of the day will be the higher seed.
- The bracket will be a true double elimination, with the winner’s bracket being a best 3 out of 5 while the contender’s bracket will be a best 2 out of 3. The “if necessary” match will be 3 out of 5 and on the pair of the first final match. Higher seed will have starting lane choice.
