MDUSBC WOMEN’S SERIES

The Metro Detroit USBC Association and Rip 10 Entertainment proudly announce the creation of the MDUSBC Women’s Series, a series of six scratch events for women bowlers during the 2011-12 season.

The series will kickoff on Sunday, Oct. 30 at Shelby Lanes in Utica. Qualifying will begin at 10 a.m. followed by one-game single elimination match play to determine a winner.

Four games of qualifying will determine match play contestants on a ratio of one in three advancing with a minimum of eight qualifiers. It is anticipated that the competition will conclude by 2 p.m.

Top prize in each event will be $500, based on 24 entries, and all match play qualifiers will cash. The entry fee is $35.

A season long “cup” competition will pay $1,000 to the top point getter. All competitors will receive points in each event they compete in, based on their final placing. The top 15 players in the MDUSBC / Rip 10 Cup standings will cash.

Van Dyke Bowl in Sterling Heights will also host events during the series. Other series dates are Dec. 18, 2011; Jan. 15, 2012; March 18, 2012; April 22, 2012 and May 6, 2012. The presenters are committed to operating the six events with no cancellations.
