Rules and Break Down of the Tournament
1. A team must be comprised of FOUR players, and only FOUR.
NO SUBSTITUTION ALLOWED!!!!
And NO, you do not have to be Asian to play!
2.Female players will be awarded a handicap.
**IMPORTANT NOTICE**
There has been a change to the amount of points given as handicap to our female players. The handicap for female players has been reduced from 50 to 35 points for the first female member of a team, and from 25 to 15 points for the second. This change has been voted on by all the teams that were present during the Bowling Tournament held during the summer of 2006. VSA @ LSU has no bias for any teams; this change is strictly based on a consensus of the votes we received.
3. When entering your team for the tournament, please have a team name and a line-up ready.
4. The first round of the tournament will consist of a practice session and three games of bowling after that. Scores will be tallied after each game and those three scores will be added together to get a final team score.
5. The TOP half of the competition will go on to the Semi-Finals.
6. There will be another practice session before the Semi-Finals start, but will be shorter than the first practice session, so make it worth it. After the practice session, teams will then bowl ONE game. Scores will then be tallied after the end of that game.
7. The TOP half of the Semi-Finals will then go on to the finals.
8. Teams in the final will then bowl ONE MORE game and the top three winners will then be decided based on the final teams scores.
9.MVP
**IMPORTANT NOTICE**
There has been a change to the determination of The Most Valuable Player (MVP). Instead of presenting the MVP to the highest scorer of the winning team, the MVP is now awarded to the player with the highest score during the finals round.
10. Don Carter's lanes are now synthetic lanes, not hardwood floors! Please note this important change!
11. Finally, Don Carter's bowling has specifically asked players and their fans to be stamped upon entry. The stamps will allow players/fans to easily access re-entry after leaving. Please inform the front desk that you will be participating in the bowling tournament, and they will waive the Don Carter's $10 entry fee and provide you with a stamp.
**Note** FAILURE to do so will result in a $10 entry fee charged by Don Carter's!
