NEW BOWLER FRIENDLY CHANGES:

A big change for the bowlers is the way the marathon entries are counted. For the first time when there are squad cuts or more than 1 cut a day the Marathons will be counted as a whole entry instead of .5 or ½ an entry.

The next big change is the RNF division. Bowlers who get moved into their age division from the RNF will be added on as bonuses and will not affect the other cuts. This will put at least 15-20 more bowlers into the finals.

ABOUT THE TAT

The True Amateur Tournaments is an Amateur only Tournament, it was started by bowlers for the bowlers. It’s purpose is to give competitive League bowlers a shot at winning real money, along with promoting the sport of bowling at a reasonable cost with Guaranteed prize funds The February TAT week long Tournament usually has close to 6,000 total entries. A bowler can win $1,000 in the next TAT just for making the finals along with 9 other Free events.

The TAT has 5 separate divisions where bowlers compete only with other bowlers in that division. It has over 500+ ways for bowlers to win checks from $100 to $25,000. With 500 plus checks, many bowl for Free along with all bowlers receiving Ebonite’s latest high performance ball with their first entry. There are 10 separate events with 10 separate prize funds. A single bowler could win over $40,000 in the TAT, Well over 100% of the prize fund is paid back because of the sponsors.

Eligibility rules: No PBA 3 years, no PBA, PWBA touring for the last 10 years, TAT bowlers who win $10,000 or more are not allowed to compete for 3 years, to give other bowlers a chance at the big money, Amateurs who have won $10,000 or more in other Tournaments are not allowed to compete for 7 years following.

TAT uses an oil pattern that is a modified league shot, playable but not wide open. The pattern changes a little on a daily basis, then the finals are a combination of the oil pattern used from the Qualifying throughout the week. Scores vary to Qualify for the main finals depending on the Division from 590 in the 205 division to 630 in the Senior division to 680 in the other open divisions. These are averages and vary a little from day to day.

The Free 4 separate Chance tournaments use high single game for payouts, (2 game Squads 135 winners), It usually takes a 220+ game to cash. The 3 Sweepers use the total of 2 games for payouts bowlers receive a free entry with #2, #3, or #4 entry, these have a 1 to 5 or 6 payouts The main event Qualifying is 3 games total pins by Division scratch, mostly daily cuts.

All Bowlers also receive a Free entry into the $30,000 Ebonite Challenge and re-entry is only $10 for a $5,000 top prize and the top 5 are all guaranteed $1,000 each this has a 1 in 6 cash ratio.

The entry form may seem confusing to first time bowlers because of so many ways to cash. Look at each event as being separate and it will all make sense.

WHERE ANY BOWLER CAN WIN!

The Orleans - Las Vegas, NV

June 29th- July 5th, 2009

1st Place $20,000 - 2nd Place $12,500 - 3rd place $10,000 - 4th $5000

It’s getting closer to Summer and another TAT Summer Classic held at The Orleans Casino in Las Vegas, NV. For those of you that aren’t familiar with our tournament, The TAT is a week along qualifying event which has 10 different tournaments that run simultaneously throughout the week and has over 450+ ways to cash. The TAT is for Amateurs only which means there are no PBA members or $10,000 winners in the past 7 years. All of our $25,000 winners are TRUE AMATEURS and no one has been in the Top 4 twice.

Every participant will receive the new Ebonite Magic high performance bowling ball with their first entry with hundreds of bowlers also receiving a second ball, The One Pearl also by Ebonite. Also, if you enter early you can also receive free squads but walk-ins are always welcomed at the tournament. Just a reminder, our first early entry deadline is May 15th which means your entry must be postmarked by the 15th to receive your extra squads for free. For these reasons among others the TAT is known as the “Value” megabuck tournament because you get so much with your entry.

The TAT is a tournament run by bowlers for bowlers and we could not put this event on twice annually without the support and loyalty of our customers as well as the entire bowling community. We rely on bowlers to get the word out and bring their friends, colleagues, and league members to our tournament and we reward these bowlers with cheaper squads, free balls, and even free squads. We also raise our prize fund with entries so the more people you bring along, the more money will be given out at our tournament.

For those of you that are familiar with the TAT, a big change for the bowlers is the way the marathon entries are counted. For the first time, when there are squad cuts or more than 1 cut a day, the Marathons will be counted as a whole entry instead of .5 or ½ entry. The next big change is the RNF division. Bowlers who get moved into their age division from the RNF will be added on as bonuses and will not affect the other cuts. Together, this will put at least 15-25 more bowlers into the finals at not extra cost to bowlers.

We are expecting this tournament to have a great turnout despite the economic downturn. Our TAT and Ebonite Staff thrive to be the best in the industry at customer service.
