GUIDING BODIES:
Law Enforcement Games

EVENTS:
Bowling competition will be scratch with five divisions for both men and women based on averages. Competition includes singles, doubles, team, mixed doubles and mixed team events.

Each competitor must enter a division as indicated below based on his/her highest current USBC yearbook average. Bowlers who do not have an USBC yearbook average may use a current USBC League average (with a minimum of 21 games). Bowlers who do not have an USBC yearbook average or are not currently bowling in an USBC League may use an established FLEG average. Of the three mentioned possible choices, you must enter this event with the HIGHEST POSSIBLE AVERAGE! If none of the above applies, then see rule #2.

Competitors without averages, as stated in rule #1, will be given an average of 175 for men and 155 for women - for the first year of competition.

Doubles and team divisions will be based on the combined averages of the competitors.

Each person may only bowl once in the singles, once in the doubles and once in the team events.

There will be no roll-offs.

Bowlers will move one set of lanes after each game.

Competitors may bowl in a higher division if they so desire, i.e. - a 175 average bowler may compete in the A division (190 and up) etc..

Lane assignments will be scheduled by the sport coordinator and/or the bowling staff prior to your competition. You may be required to move from your pre-assigned lane if necessary to prevent crowding on one pair of lanes as a result of no-shows.

If team members or doubles partners indicate conflicting times - you will be assigned a shift on the basis of availability.

Team event will consist of four (4) people.

Competitors will bowl (5) five games in each event. 5 games for singles, 5 games for doubles and 5 games for team.

There will be an All Events competition. Details provided at the start of the bowling tournament.

Entry fee for Games does not include cost of bowling which is established by each bowling center.

All medallist averages will be individually verified. Any false information will result in disqualification of the individual, doubles partners and team members. Also, charges will be filed with the Games Board of Directors, which may result in suspension for 1 year to permanent expulsion for the individual, partner and team members.

This event will be sanctioned by USBC. Therefore, the following USBC rules are either waived or do not apply for this competition. Rules 319E and 319D. All bowlers should be familiar with USBC rule 319A-3 with regard to reporting incorrect averages.

If you are using your USBC average, you must present your sanction card on demand to the bowling coordinator/directors. No card = no medals.

All mixed doubles and/or mixed teams MUST bowl in the "Mixed Category". Mixed doubles=one male and one female. Mixed Team=any combination of males and females.
