Entry Fee

All registered YBC bowlers are invited to compete in the League and/or House Qualifying Round of the YBC Hi-Low Doubles Championships providing they pay the entry fee of $4.00 (awards fee) plus $2.00 (scholarship fee).  A League MUST submit a minimum entry fee of $60.00 plus $2.00 per bowler in order to advance teams to the Zone Finals.  ie:  you have 10 entries & 10 bowlers you would submit $60.00 plus $20.00 for a total of $80.00, if you have 20 entries & 20 bowlers you would submit $80.00 plus $40.00 for a total of $120.00.  Please note that House Champion awards are discontinued this year.  Any dollars not used for awards will go towards the scholarships.

Optional Qualifying Procedure

Each Program Director has the option to decide whether to conduct a league qualifying round or advance those who have entered the tournament directly to the House Finals providing the following conditions are adhered to:

 

  1. All registered YBC bowlers who have paid the $6.00 entry fee ($4.00 awards fee & $2.00 scholarship fee) are eligible to compete in the League and/or House Qualifying Round.

 

  1. Averages to be based on a minimum of 12 games played at October 26, 2019.

 

  1. The highest average bowler in the league in each of the 3 age categories is to be paired with the lowest average bowler. The second highest average bowler is to be paired with the second lowest average bowler and so on, until all of the bowlers have been paired.

 

  1. In the event that an odd number of bowlers entered the tournament, the last highest average bowler is to be paired with the remaining lowest average bowler.

 

EXAMPLE (BASED ON 21 ENTRIES)

 

Number the Bowlers from 1 to 21 according to their average with the highest average bowler being #1.  The #1 bowler (highest average) is paired with #21 (lowest average).  The #2 bowler is paired with the #20 bowler, and so on.  This will leave the #11 bowler without a partner.  This bowler shall now be paired with bowler #10 thus giving bowler #10 two (2) partners.  Should this scenario be the case, the #10 bowler would not have to pay another entry fee.

 

NOTE:  Should both teams qualify to advance to the House round, the replacement bowler must be the highest average bowler in order of finish in the round.

  • 6 to 10 entries per division – 2 teams will advance
  • 11 to 15 entries per division – 3 teams will advance
  • And so on in increments of 5
