Ten Strike Shootout Information/Format: 10 lanes will be used for competition. There will be no practice allowed on lanes that are used for competition. Each person pays $10 for first attempt.This $10 covers 3 attempts at throwing 10 strikes, entry into the longest string jackpot, entry into the 300 jackpot, and a pre-determined amount of 50/50 tickets.Re-entry will be $2 per attempt. To minimize wait times, bowlers will start on lanes 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 of the lanes used. Bowlers must throw a natural strike on 10 consecutive lanes, working their way to the right. To win the main jackpot, bowlers must throw ten consecutive strikes on ten consecutive lanes. Winner receives 90% of the jackpot. The other 10% is used to start a new jackpot. Once you miss a strike, your attempt is over.The longest string pot will be paid every night, and is won by the person who throws the most consecutive strikes for the night. The Longest String pot will start at $25 every night, and a portion of the $10 entry will be added into this pot.The "300 pot" is a progressive pot that is won by throwing 2 more strikes in addition to the 10 consecutive strikes. Once the bowler throws the 10 strikes to win the main jackpot, they will draw two lanes that they will then go to, and attempt to throw natural strikes on. If the bowler succeeds, they win the "300 pot" jackpot. This pot will start at $25 the first week.Winner receives 100% of this jackpot.
