Attention all SPJST Bowlers and Fans!
    Make plans to attend the District Seven Bowling Tournament on Saturday, September 26, 2009, beginning at 12 noon. Come join in the fun and excitement! Cheer on your lodge team as they compete for prizes while raising money for the SPJST Education and Nature Center at Cooper Farm in Waldeck, Texas. All proceeds benefit SPJST ENC.
    The tournament will be held at SportsWest Bowling Center, located at 308 State Highway 46 South in Seguin, Texas, and is open to members and non-members.
    Activities include a silent auction, and the snack bar opens at noon and features a large menu of items that are priced reasonably.
    Pre-registration is encouraged.

Tournament Guidelines
1.    Tournament is open to all SPJST members and non-members.
2.    There will be three divisions in which to bowl. Pee Wee – Ages 6 to 12; Junior – ages 13 to 15; and adults – ages 16 and over.
3.    Teams will consist of four bowlers—any combination of men and women. Please note that individual entries will be accepted. You do not need a full team in order to enter the tournament. Individual entries will be placed on a team. Lodges are encouraged to enter multiple teams.
4.    Winners will be determined at the close of the third game. The bowling center computer will calculate a handicap (80 percent of 200) to determine an average for the three games bowled. This will put each bowler on an equal basis.
5.    Each participant will bowl three games.
6.    Awards will be presented to the top three males and top three females for high series and high game in each division.
7.    Cost will be $20 per person, or $60 for a team of four.
