POINTS
This is a points series. Series points will be award for every entry, as outlined in the Points section of the Strike Run Mini-Series Rules.
Bonus Qualifier
A minimum of 1 out of every 3 entries, + 1 bonus qualifier will advance to the Strike Run round.
When there are at least 5 entries, the high qualifier will randomly draw one bowler who didn't qualify by score. That bowler will advance and bowl last in the Strike Run round.
In the event that there is a tie score for the final qualifying spot, the bonus position will go to the tied bowler(s) if needed, and no drawing will take place.
Lane Selection For Strike Run
High qualifier will draw (from a cottage cheese container) to determine the lane used for the Strike Run. If the special blue tile is drawn, the high qualifier will be allowed to choose from any available lane.
On occasion, certain lanes used during qualifying will not be available for use during the Strike Run.
In all cases, the tournament director will determine whether a drawing, or high qualifiers choice will be used to determine the lane used for the Strike Run.
The tournament director reserves the right to assign a lane to be used for the Strike Run.
