The LIGBT is pleased to announce the signing of D.B.L. Associates as the presenting sponsor for the Sunday, May 1st tournament at East Islip Lanes. Jeff Schatz, company president, has agreed to add $500 to the event while the LIGBT will match the sponsor donation with another $500.
Both scratch and handicap events will have guaranteed top prizes of $750-1st, $400-2nd, $300-3rd & $250-4th. These prizes will grow as entries increase & pay $1,000-1st with 70 entries & $1,500-1st with 120 entries. All 1 in 5 finalists are guaranteed to earn a minimum of $100.
The tournament will feature a 3-game qualifying format for both scratch and handicap with 1 in 5 each squad advancing to the finals. There will be 2 qualifying squads (noon & 2pm) and the noon squad leader will be seeded directly into the final shootout while the 2pm squad leader will earn a $50 bonus. Entry fees for this event will be $65 walk-in or $60 prepaid. Bowlers can enter twice and cash on both entries.
Scratch seniors will bowl with the “kids” but will have finals insurance; for every 5 seniors that bowl in a squad one is guaranteed to make the finals regardless of score. The more seniors that bowl the more are guaranteed in the finals.
East Islip Lanes is known for its high scoring environment. The LIGBT will be modifying the house shot by adding more oil but will keep the same lane pattern. Although scoring will not be as high as in league expect to have a lot of fun as you will bowl well at East Islip.
