Klondike Quaddie Classic

The prestigious Klondike Quaddie is on July 19! This tournament has teams of four bowling 3 games in various formats.

Open to Royal members and we are inviting members from Highlands to compete in the Klondike Quaddie! However, we can only accommodate a maximum of 32 bowlers so signup early to secure your spot. To fill a quaddie tournament, we need multiples of 8 (two teams of four). Therefore, entries will be on a spare list until more bowlers signup to fill a multiple of 8. Also, initially we will limit Royal bowlers to the first 16 to enter so that Highlands has a chance to also enter up to 16. Please note that when you signup you are committing to bowling all three games!!

Teams will be drawn the night before and will consist of experienced, novice, and new bowlers on each team!

BBQ lunch will be available for $10. Please indicate in your signup if you want to join in on the BBQ. We will also be holding a 50/50 raffle. Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5.

Play starts promptly at 10:00am but please arrive at the club at 9:30am to register and pay your entry fee.

Dennis Nolan is the organizer for this tournament, please contact pastpresident@royalbowls.ca for any inquiries.

Cutoff date for entries is midnight July 14.

Registration is now closed. You will get a note from the event coordinator Dennis confirming your status for the event - either playing or on the spare list.
