IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ALL STARS


Coaches are reminded to bring the following:

bullet

6  BOWLERS - 5 to bowl; one will be the alternate.  Be sure to bring your alternate.  The alternate must be present to earn Grand Prix points.  Alternates may bowl as a "pacer team" in district meets.   Alternates' scores will not count in district meets, standings or for individual averages, but will count as a tie-breaker for position on the state team.  Be  sure  that  all  participants  are  "eligible"  -  that  is, ages  12  to  18  on  08 / 01  and  still  in  school.  Once a bowler has graduated or dropped out of school, he/she is ineligible.

bullet

Membership CARDS completed for each bowler.  Make sure you fill in the part on the bottom that says "league through which fees are paid".

bullet

A  CURRENT  LEAGUE   STANDING  SHEET  showing the highest verifiable league average of no less than 9 games must be presented for each member of the team.  If a participant bowls in more than one league or center, his highest average will be used (including Travel League averages).  Any bowler without a verifiable average will bowl scratch.  These standing sheets will be kept in the All Star files.

bullet

The HANDICAP FOR ALL LEVELS OF COMPETITION (including qualifying) is 90% from 220.  It is a requirement that each center submit proof of qualifying with averages for each district meet to the All Star District Coordinator.  Failure to provide such qualifying within one week of the competition will result in the center's team forfeiting points at that meet.

bullet

MONEY  FOR  LINEAGE:   This is a "guaranteed" league.   Therefore, each center must pay for 5 bowlers (6 if alternate bowls) even if only 3 or 4 show up to bowl.  We do not keep a bank account because we have no prize fund.  All money paid goes directly to the center for lineage.  Therefore, all fees must be paid the day of the competition.  Each team's coach is to collect money from his team and turn it in to the coordinator before the end of the first game of bowling.

bullet

ALL  CHECKS  SHOULD  BE   MADE  OUT  TO  THE  CENTER  WHERE  WE  ARE   BOWLING.

bullet

DRESS CODE:  Collared or T-shirts; slacks or jeans; walking shorts are okay (NO biker shorts, baggy pants or sweats; no sleeveless shirts; NO HATS or headsets).
