The Kickoff Classic, is the perfect way for bowlers of all levels in and around the Dallas-Fort Worth area to start, or kickoff, the new league season, as well as a beginning to such a wonderful sport only days later, football. It is a handicap team tournament composed of 5 members, much like in many leagues that many of us bowl each year, with each team required to have at least one male and one female member, and each team will bowl 3 games of competition, also much like typical league bowling.
Each team will also be required to stay under a composite average cap of 1075 per team, any combination of averages, based on the 2009-2010 USBC yearbook average. Teams will then receive 90% handicap per game of the difference between their team average and 1075. At the end of the 3 games of competition, standings will be determined by team’s total scores plus their handicap, so it will be wide open for teams of all averages to have a chance of winning and taking home some cash.
For a $400 team entry fee, and a potential max field of 52 teams, more than $18,000 will be up for grabs to all the cashing teams, with the winning team taking home in the neighborhood of $4,000. What better way to get the new league season started than having your league paid for before week 1?
On top of the 3 games of competition, there will be sidepots and plenty of brackets available for all bowlers on the evening, so quite a bit more money up for grabs to those bowlers having good nights. There will be separate scratch and handicap "side action", and handicap individually will be 90% of the difference between the bowler’s average and 220.
Check-in for the tournament will begin at 6pm on the night of the 28th, with action kicking off at 7pm.
After a nice relaxing summer for most, and the enjoyable new season on the horizon, there is no better way to get back into the swing of things, and maybe even win some nice extra spending cash, then to get your team together for The Bowling News Kickoff Classic.
