• $25 entry, 80% handicap, 3 game qualifier, 5 or 6 person single game ladder to meet the top seed in a two string final. The defending King or Queen, has the option to accept the 6th ladder spot, or to try to re-qualify higher (with a $5 entry discount, not reducing the prize pool).

*************************

We will apply handicap using a composite of the following averages:
A) Agawam Bowl King of the Hill average since the start of season 3 (September, 2018), if *nine* strings or more. We will have this at the event.

**Plus one of the following**
B) Composite of all current and Summer 2021 season averages (minimum *21* strings), rounding down. Summer and Travel/Pro leagues are included. If you do not have all such averages, please supply the highest.
**Or, if B is not applicable**
C) Composite of all season-end post-lock-down league averages (minimum *21* strings), rounding down. Travel/pro leagues are included. If you do not have all such averages, please supply the highest.

**If neither B or C is applicable, an older average will be considered for use by the tournament director**

Your composite average for this event will include A and B *or* C of the above as applicable, averaged together and rounded UP (since league averages and the composites above are rounded down).
