playing rules and standard Baker Format rules will apply during this tournament
2. More than one boys/coed team and one girls team per school or co-op may enter this event,
but only ONE team from a school may make the finals in either the boys/coed or girls divi-

3. A team may enter a maximum roster of SEVEN bowlers per team for this tournament.
Normal HSBC Dress Code Rules (matching shirts, no jeans, etc.) is in effect. Tournament Director will address any
emergency situations (shirts not in from printers, etc.) on a case by case basis.
Standard Baker substitution rules are in effect – once a bowler is replaced in a game, they may not return until the
next game. As a courtesy, coaches should notify the other coach on their pair of lanes to verify substitution is made
correctly. If a substitution is made incorrectly, a ZERO will be scored ONLY for the ball(s) thrown by the ineligible
substitute.
4. No practice pair(s) for this event! All bowlers will remain with their team on their assigned lane each game.
Coaches may send a player to “scout” an upcoming lane or opponent, but that “scout” player must remain in the
back of the settee area.

division. If tournament fills, teams will be placed on a waiting list.

7. Tournament Format – All competition is scratch. Qualifying will be 6 Baker games over 6 lanes.
Match Play Round – Pinfall DOES NOT carries over from qualifying - Teams will be assigned to

needed. Bracket matches will be best 3 of 5 games, tie games are worth 1/2 game to each team. Each
bracket will be in a double elimination format. Higher seeded teams in each match have their choice of
