   Bowlers who finish on the top 100 (plus ties) of the All-Conference points list as of the final Invitational.

-          All bowlers must bowl the Saturday qualifying round, including bowlers who earned an ‘exemption’ by finishing in the top 12 (plus ties) of the All-Conference point list as of 7/1/23.  Exempt bowlers missing the cut to Sunday’s bowling will still qualify for Sunday, and begin with total pinfall equal to 50 pins above the cut score.

·         There are two divisions, scratch and handicap.  Bowlers can choose to compete in either division.  Handicap division bowlers receive 90% of 200 in all rounds. 

·         The entry fee is $100.  $2,500 is the guaranteed first place scholarship prize per division.

TPC qualifier list- as of 5/26

ONLY bowlers who have finished in the top 20 of a conference's FINAL points list are listed below.  Many others will obviously qualify via another conference, or the final all-conference points list, but they will NOT be added in until a conference is final.  Again, we strongly encourage you to make plans before you're 'officially' in, and then adjust if things change.
