The TAT is for AMATEUR bowlers only.  We realize that many "Amateur" bowlers make a living bowling and we do not want those bowlers at the TAT. 

We want average league bowlers that know that have a legitimate shot at winning $20,000 because Anyone Can Win the TAT. 

 

We update our rules after each tournament so that we can keep our field as Amateur as possible.
