Strike. Survive. Repeat. - Thanksgiving Day Blind No Tap Eliminator

Join us for an exciting and fun bowling tournament with a unique elimination format that will test your strike-making skills, without being able to see the pins!

Blind Bowling Format

This is a blind tournament. Tarps will be hung across the lanes to block your view of the pins. You’ll be bowling by feel, muscle memory, and your knowledge of the lane. Scoring will be handled by the center’s automatic scoring system, so you’ll find out how you did after each shot, not before.

Main Tournament Format

This isn’t your typical bowling tournament. Pin totals don’t matter! The No Tap Eliminator is all about strikes. Here’s how it works:

The Strike Challenge:

Each game number determines how many strikes you need to advance

Game 1: Need 1 strike to continue
Game 3: Need 3 strikes to continue
Game 7: Need 7 strikes to continue
And so on...

Strikes can be either natural strikes (all 10 pins with your first ball) or no-tap strikes (9 pins with your first ball counts as a strike).

Elimination & Victory:

The tournament continues until either:

No bowlers achieve the required number of strikes for that game, OR
We reach Game 10 (maximum)

Tie-Breaking Procedure:

If multiple bowlers remain after Game 10:

Rankings determined by the highest number of natural strikes in Game 10
If still tied, we’ll count total natural strikes from Game 10 backwards until the tie is broken
If bowlers remain tied after review, prize money for the tied positions will be combined and split equally

Entry Fee:

$30/bowler (Expense: $3, Lineage: $12, Prize Fund: $15)

Payouts:

Cash Payouts 1:6. Payouts will not happen until the tournament has completed.

Sidepots & Extras

Optional Bowling Brackets: First 3 games, 80% of 200 handicap
High Game Pots: Show us your best!

Get ready for a fun, fast-paced competition where every frame counts, and you can’t see a single one of them!
