Tickets

Tickets are only available online through Bound at State Bowling Tickets

Tickets are $10 (plus processing fees) for each meet. There will be no cash sales at the state bowling venue. *Reminder these are two separate tournaments. If your spectators would like to go to the team and individual tournament, they will need to purchase a ticket for each event.

 

Format

All 32 qualifiers would bowl three individual games. The top eight finishers would then be bracketed (1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6, 4 vs. 5) and bowl one game.

The winners would advance to the semifinals and finals, where the champion and runner-up would be determined. In addition, all consolation matches will be bowled to determine third through eighth place.

Highest seed chooses who goes first and that person bowls one frame from left lane and then it is 2 frames each bowler alternating lanes with the bowler who started going last in the 10th frame.

Individual ties are a 9th-10th frame tiebreaker just as was in place for SQM. Tiebreakers will only be used to determine who advances.

ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO POLICY: No alcohol or tobacco is to be sold or consumed on the grounds of any state tournament venue leased or provided to the Athletic Union for the purpose of conducting a state championship.
